Introduction

A Laravel package for working with Dropbox v2 API.

Dropbox API documentation can be found at: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation

Application Register

To use Dropbox API an application needs creating at https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps

Create a new application, select either Dropbox API or Dropbox Business API Next select the type of access needed either the app folder (useful for isolating to a single folder), or full Dropbox.

Next copy and paste the APP Key and App Secret into your .env file:

Now enter your desired redirect URL. This is the URL your application will use to connect to Dropbox API.

A common URL is https://domain.com/dropbox/connect

Install

Via Composer

Config

You can publish the config file with:

When published, the config/dropbox.php config file contains, make sure to publish this file and change the scopes to match the scopes of your Dropbox app, inside Dropbox app console.

Migration

You can publish the migration with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Dcblogdev\Dropbox\DropboxServiceProvider" --tag="migrations" After the migration has been published you can create the tokens tables by running the migration:

.ENV Configuration Ensure you've set the following in your .env file:

Bypass Oauth2 You can bypass the oauth2 process by generating an access token in your dropbox app and entering it on the .env file:

Usage

Note this package expects a user to be logged in.

Note: these examples assume the authentication is using the oauth2 and not setting the access token in the .env directly.

If setting the access code directly don't rely on Dropbox::getAccessToken()

A routes example:

Or using a middleware route, if the user does not have a graph token then automatically redirect to get authenticated:

Once authenticated you can call Dropbox:: with the following verbs:

The $array is not always required, its requirement is determined from the endpoint being called, see the API documentation for more details.

The $headers are optional when used can pass in additional headers.

The $useToken is optional when set to true will use the authorisation header, defaults to true.

These expect the API endpoints to be passed, the URL https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/ is provided, only endpoints after this should be used ie:

Middleware

To restrict access to routes only to authenticated users there is a middleware route called DropboxAuthenticated

Add DropboxAuthenticated to routes to ensure the user is authenticated:

To access the token model reference this ORM model:
