README

wave-api is a strongly typed package for interacting with Webaim's WAVE API.

Requirements

wave-api requires PHP 7.1 or greater. You will also need to create an account with the WAVE API in order to use it.

Installation

You can install via composer:

composer install chrgriffin/wave-api

Usage

Basic Usage

Using the client is extremely simple:

require_once './vendor/autoload.php';

use ChrGriffin\WaveApi\Client as WaveClient;

$wave = new WaveClient('my-api-key');
$response = $wave->analyze('my-url');

Additional Parameters

If you want to specify optional parameters, such as viewportwidth, reporttype, or format, there are multiple ways to do so.

Firstly, you can specify any additional parameters when instantiating the client:

$wave = new WaveClient('my-api-key', [
    'viewportwidth' => 1440,
    'reporttype'    => 2,
    'format'        => 'json'
]);

Secondly, you can specify any additional parameters when making the request:

$response = $wave->analyze('my-url', [
    'viewportwidth' => 1440,
    'reporttype'    => 2,
    'format'        => 'json'
]);

Or thirdly, you can chain multiple setters:

$wave->setViewportwidth(1440)
    ->setReporttype(2)
    ->setFormat('json')
    ->analyze('my-url);

Response Format

The format parameter has two valid options: json and xml. Setting this parameter will change the response type:

• if format is json, then $wave->analyze() will return a \stdClass object
• if format is xml, then $wave->analyze() will return a \SimpleXMLElement object
