FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

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 PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • 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.

Informations about the package hal-explorer

hal-explorer: Hateoas Api explorer.

Build Status Code Climate

HalExplorer is a php client useful for exploring HAL formatted apis. HalExplorer is able to craft requests and follow links to retreive, create, update and delete resource relationships.

The codebase is fully covered by phpspec and extensively documented.

Install

composer require jmeyering/hal-explorer

Docs

readthedocs

Api Documentation

To generate api documentation use whatever phpdoc generation tool you want but apigen is included with the composer deps. Just run vendor/bin/apigen generate to create the documentation, then point your browser to public/index.html to view.

PSR7

The library makes exclusive use of PSR7 messages. Whatever http client is used internally must return PSR7 Message interfaces.

Usage

To use the exploration feature of the library we need to think about our responses and their included _links as objects and relationships.

Fetching, Creating, Updating, and Deleting are the primary actions to perform on a related object. HalExplorer exposes this functionality with the getRelation, createRelation, updateRelation, patchUpdateRelation and deleteRelation methods.

As expected, these methods map to the GET, POST, PUT, PATCH and DELETE HTTP verbs.

Example

We will use the haltalk api as an endpoint example and guzzlehttp/guzzle for our HTTP Client.
