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.

Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Informations about the package zotero-php-wrapper

Zotero PHP Wrapper

PHP wrapper for citation software Zotero

Features

Object-oriented approach. Since I don't know the full scale of API, I can painlessly add new endpoints and stuffs

Installation

composer require vvoleman/zotero-php-wrapper

Usage

Connect to Zotero
- Get API key
- Create instance

Connect to Zotero

To use Zotero's API, you need to generate API key.

Get API key

Log into your Zotero account and access Feeds/API part of profile settings and click Create new private key.

Next, you can specify what permissions will this API key have. Save your API key, since you won't be able to retrieve it after you leave this page.

Create instance

Hop into your code and create some whooshing wrapper instance.

Let's explain it a bit. ZoteroApi instance requires API key for authentication and source.

Source is main branch from which we want to retrieve our data. So far, there are:

UsersSource/GroupSource
- All your precious collections and items are linked to a user or to group. Working with both them is a same.
- After you create your UsersSource/GroupSource instance, you set endpoints to them with ZoteroApi::setEndpoint(), which takes as a parameter instance of AbstractEndpoint
- AbstractEndpoint can chain another AbstractEndpoint - think of it like you can add /items to /collections/ID. However, there are limits to chaining. You can't add /items to /collections - you have to specify specific collection.
- So, here are possible chainings (not all, but you get the idea):
  - Collections("ID") -> Items(<All options>)
    - Collections("ID") -> Items("ID") -> Tags("ID")
    - Collections("ID") -> Items("ID") -> Tags(AbstractEndpoint::ALL)
- AbstractEndpoint takes as a constructor parameter a string value that specifies what you want to search
  - AbstractEndpoint::ALL - All results
  - AbstractEndpoint::TOP - Top-level results only
  - AbstractEndpoint::TRASH - Results in trash
  - "ID" - Specific ID of Endpoint
