Download the PHP package aws/aws-sdk-php-resources without Composer
On this page you can find all versions of the php package aws/aws-sdk-php-resources. It is possible to download/install these versions without Composer. Possible dependencies are resolved automatically.
FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

AWS Resource APIs for PHP
An extension to the AWS SDK for PHP for interacting with AWS services using resource-oriented objects.
Introduction
The core AWS SDK for PHP is composed of service client objects that have methods
corresponding 1-to-1 with operations in the service's API (e.g.,
Ec2Client::runInstances() method maps to the EC2 service's
RunInstances operation).
This project builds build upon the SDK to add new types of objects that allow you to interact with the AWS service APIs in a more resource-oriented way. This allows you to use a more expressive syntax when working with AWS services, because you are acting on objects that understand their relationships with other resources and that encapsulate their identifying information.
Installation
You must install the AWS Resource APIs using Composer by requiring the
aws/aws-sdk-php-resources package (composer require aws/aws-sdk-php-resources) in your project.
Note: The Resource APIs use Version 3 of the AWS SDK for PHP.
Types of Objects
The Resource APIs introduce 4 new objects, all within the Aws\Resource
namespace.
1. Aws
The Aws object acts as the starting point into the resource APIs.
The $config, as provided in the preceding example, is an array of
configuration options that is the same as what you would provide when
instantiating the Aws\Sdk object in the core SDK. This includes things like
'region', 'version', your credentials, etc.
You can overwrite the global config options for a service by specifying new values when you get the service's resource.
The AWS Resource APIs currently supports 7 services (cloudformation, ec2,
glacier, iam, s3, sns, sqs).
2. Resource
Resource objects each represent a single, identifiable AWS resource (e.g., an Amazon S3 bucket or an Amazon SQS queue). They contain information about how to identify the resource and load its data, the actions that can be performed on it, and the other resources to which it is related.
You can access a related resource by calling the related resource's name as a method and passing in its identity.
Accessing resources this way is evaluated lazily, meaning that the previous example does not actually make any API calls.
Once you access the data of a resource, an API call will be triggered to "load" the resource and fetch its data. To retrieve a resource object's data, you can access it like an array.
You can also use the getIdentity() and getData() methods to extract the
resource's data.
Performing Actions
You can perform actions on a resource by calling verb-like methods on the object.
Because the resource's identity is encapsulated within the resource object, you
never have to specify it again once the object is created. This way, actions
like $object->delete() do not need to require arguments.
3. Collection
Some resources have a "has many" type relationship with other resources. For example, an S3 bucket has many objects. When you access a pluralized property or method on a resource, you will get back a Collection of resources. Collections are iterable, but have an unknown length, because the underlying API operation used to retrieve the resource data may require multiple calls. They leverage the core SDK's Paginators feature to be able to handle iterating through pages of resource data on your behalf.
Collections, like resources, are lazily evaluated, so they don't actually trigger any API calls until you start iterating through the resources.
4. Batch
Batches are similar to collections, but are finite in length. Batches are returned as the result of performing an action, where multiple resources are returned. For example, an SQS "Queue" resource has an action named "ReceiveMessages" that results in returning a batch of up to 10 "Message" resources.
Using Resources
We are currently working on providing API documentation for the AWS Resource
APIs. Even without docs, you can programmatically determine what methods are
available on a resource object by calling the respondsTo() method.
You can use that same respondsTo() method to check if a particular method is
available. The getMeta() method may also help you discover more about how your
resource object works as well.
TODO
There is still a lot of work to do on the AWS Resources API for PHP. Here are some things we have on the list to work on soon.
- Support for batch actions on Batch and Collection objects (e.g.,
$messages->delete();) - Support for more AWS services
- API documentation for the AWS Resource APIs
Check out the AWS Resource APIs and let us now what questions, feedback, or ideas you have in the issue tracker. Thanks!
