Download the PHP package inolares/coreconnect without Composer

coreConnect - Helper classes to communicate with InoCore

This composer package provides classes to easily communicate with an InoCore installation.

To make integration easy multiple classes are provided, each of them integrates for a specific requirement.

Currently there are helper classes to integrate with session based PHP sites, CLI commands and a Symfony 5.4+ compatible service class.

In addition you'll find implementations for other languages inside the contrib folder, currently only for PureBasic, but others are welcome! :)

Python users should take a look to our PIP package: https://pypi.org/project/core-connect/

REQUIREMENTS

• PHP 8.0 or newer
• InoCore installation with valid credentials
• PureBasic must be at leat 5.73 or newer
• For Symfony at least 5.4 must be used

INSTALLATION

Best way is to install everything via composer by executing the following line in your project directory:

composer require inolares/coreconnect

If you do not use composer or would like to install it manually just copy at least the base class "coreConnectBase.php" and one of the support classes that fit your environment. Of course you're completly free to implement your own class, just make sure that you extend from abstract class coreConnectBase.php.

How to use

Please refer to the ManualTests/ directory for some examples. The class should be pretty self-explanatory.

Here's a short explanation how to use it:

1. Create an object
2. Call the method "init($user,$pass,$host)" to setup credentials for InoCore
3. Start calling API methods like get("v1/ping") etc.

Symfony hints

Copy the supplied file "examples/coreConnectService.php" to your "src/Service" folder. Now you can use DI to get a reference to the coreConnectService, i.e.: `

Class methods

The following methods must be implemented by you:

• setApiUrl() / getApiUrl()
• setApiUser() / getApiUser()
• setApiPass() / getApiPass()
• setExpires() / getExpires()
• setToken() / getToken()
• setJwtUser() / getJwtUser()

In addition, the following methods are implemented:

• init()
• clearCredentials()
• HasValidToken()
• FetchToken()
• call()
• get()
• post()
• put()
• delete()
• prepareResponse()
• getLastUrl()
• setCurlOpts() [2.1.0+]

PHPUnit tests

Some tests for PHPUnit are provided, to run these tests do the following:

Some hints

Only valid for coreConnect 2.1.0 or newer!

If you want to connect to an https-enabled InoCore instance using a self-signed certificate make sure to disable SSL peer verification first! To do this call this BEFORE init() is called:

` You can provide every CURLOPT_* constant here, but it is recommended to set only specific parameters for your specific setup and leave everything else at classes' default values! See https://www.php.net/manual/de/function.curl-setopt.php for a complete list.

coreConnect would merge it's own config setup with your provided values before performing the API request to InoCore. It is also possible to change parameters between multiple API calls just by calling setCurlOpts() right before the API call is performed.
