Installation & usage

Using composer:

First, add the package to your composer.json:

    // ...
    "require": {
        "sellerlabs/research-php": "*"
    }
    // ...

Then run composer update

How to use with Laravel 5:

First you need to configure the client inside your app service provider:

public function register()
{
    $this->app->bind(
        SellerLabs\Research\Interfaces\ResearchClientInterface::class,
        function () {
            return new ResearchClient(
                'YourClientId',
                'YourClientSecret',
                'http://research.api.sellerlabs.com'
            );
        }
    );
}

Then inside any of your controllers, you can inject the dependency through the constructor:

// ...
class ProductsController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Implementation of a client for SellerLabs' research API
     *
     * @var ResearchClientInterface
     */
    protected $researchClient;

    /**
     * Construct an instance of a ProductsController
     */
    public function __construct(ResearchClientInterface $researchClient)
    {
        $this->researchClient = $researchClient;
    }

    /**
     * Handle GET /products/
     */
    public function getIndex()
    {
        return $this->researchClient->getSearch('keyword', 'testing');
    }
}

Laravel's container is smart enough to automatically perform dependency injection, which adds the client parameter for you when initializing your controller's class
