README

Simple Buffer API package for Laravel 5.*.

Installation

To install, run the following command in your project directory

$ composer require mbarwick83/buffer dev-master

Then in config/app.php add the following to the providers array:

Mbarwick83\Buffer\BufferServiceProvider::class

Also, if you must (recommend you don't), add the Facade class to the aliases array in config/app.php as well:

'Buffer'    => Mbarwick83\Buffer\Facades\Buffer::class

But it'd be best to just inject the class, like so (this should be familiar):

use Mbarwick83\Buffer\Buffer;

Configuration

To publish the packages configuration file, run the following vendor:publish command:

php artisan vendor:publish

This will create a buffer.php in your config directory. Here you must enter your Buffer API Keys. Get your API keys at https://buffer.com/developers/api.

Example Usage

use Mbarwick83\Buffer\Buffer;

// Get login url:
public function index(Buffer $buffer)
{
	return $buffer->getLoginUrl();
}

// Get access token on callback, once user has authorized via above method
public function callback(Request $request, Buffer $buffer)
{
	$response = $buffer->getAccessToken($request->code);

	if (isset($response['code']))
        throw new \Exception($response['error_message'], $response['code']);

	return $buffer->getUserDetails($response['access_token']);
}

Those are the only three custom classes for the API package (i.e. getLoginUrl(), getAccessToken(), and getUserDetails(). The rest of the API works with POST and GET requests based on Buffers's end points to keep this package super simple. You can view all the end points here https://buffer.com/developers/api.

All you need to do is specify if the request is a POST or GET request, specify just the end point and any URL queries that are required (in an array). For example:

public function index(Buffer $buffer)
{
    $user_profiles = $this->buffer->get('1/profiles.json', ['access_token' => $access_token]);
    return $user_profiles;
}

VERY SIMPLE AND EASY!
