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.

Laravel API Model Driver
The library allows to create and assign an API connection to Laravel 7 Eloquent models and use Laravel query builder to build a query string and get data as if you get data from a database connection. It also allows to use Eloquent relationships.
Once developers define the configuration of a new API connection and make the related model classes use that connection, they don't need to think about API calls, authentication, etc. They just work with those models as if they are regular models that have a MySQL connection. However, the library only supports retrieving data from an API service.
There is also a possibility to configure automatic time zone conversion in case the API service provides the clients with time values in a different time zone so that the developers don't need to think about it while they are writing code.
Features
- Support the following query builder functions: where, whereIn, whereBetween, orderBy and limit;
- Support Eloquent relationships;
- Automatic pluralization of the name of a query parameter that has an array;
- Automatic time zone conversion for time JSON properties and time query parameters;
- Possibility to define multiple API connections with their own configuration and authentication;
- Automatic splitting query strings whose length is too long (see the max_url_length parameter);
- The library makes API calls using the php-curl extension so that the subsequent requests reuse the connection that was established during the first request without wasting time on establishing new connections.
Installation
