BLS SDK for PHP

A library for integrating your PHP application with AVADO's Business Logic Services API., _(*1)

Installation

Support for different installation methods is still in the works. Reach out to us for installation help if your use case doesn't allow you to follow the below guidance., _(*2)

With Composer and Packagist (recommended)

We have an example of how to use the SDK in this configuration, but it's fairly straightforward -- just add the following line to the require section of your composer.json:, _(*3)

"avadolearning/bls-sdk-php": "1.0.*"

Then ensure the dependency is installed into your vendor directory:, _(*4)

$ composer install
$ composer update

Using your own autoloader

We don't (yet?) support this configuration., _(*5)

Usage

First obtain an instance of the SoapClientFactory. The factory handles passing parameters to each of the client classes:, _(*6)

use AvadoLearning\BusinessLogicServices\SoapClientFactory;

// These values should come from your configuration
define('BLS_URL',        'https://test.example.com');
define('BLS_AUTH_TOKEN', 'XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX');

$factory = new SoapClientFactory(BLS_URL, array( // SoapClient options
    'cache_wsdl'         => WSDL_CACHE_NONE,
    'connection_timeout' => 30,
    'exceptions'         => true,
    'keep_alive'         => false,
    'uri'                => 'http://tempuri.org/',
    'soap_version'       => SOAP_1_2,
    'trace'              => true,
), array(                                        // Services
    'SalesLogix',
), array(                                        // Request preprocessors
    new WsaRequestPreprocessor(),
    new BlsAuthTokenRequestPreprocessor(BLS_AUTH_TOKEN),
));

Then use the factory to obtain a client for a given service:, _(*7)

$client = $factory->getInstance('SalesLogix');

You can optionally pass additional SoapClient options to getInstance() to override those specified in the factory. To allow PHP to cache the WSDL file on the disk, you might instantiate the SalesLogix client as follows:, _(*8)

$client = $factory->getInstance('SalesLogix', array(
    'cache_wsdl' => WSDL_CACHE_DISK,
));

Either way, $client will now be an instance of AvadoLearning\BusinessLogicServices\SalesLogixService\SalesLogix, and it will be possible to call methods like CreateLead. Examples can be found in the /test/unit directory of this repository., _(*9)

Development

The following documentation is for maintainers of the plugin., _(*10)

Installing development dependencies

Dependencies are managed with Composer:, _(*11)

$ composer install
$ composer update

Updating the entities

Assuming Wsdl2PhpGenerator has been installed as a Composer development dependency:, _(*12)

$ bin/generate_entities

Testing

First, configure the project's /etc/config.php file with your credentials:, _(*13)

<?php

define('BLS_URL',        'https://test.example.com');
define('BLS_AUTH_TOKEN', 'XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX');

Then, assuming PHPUnit has been installed as a Composer development dependency:, _(*14)

$ vendor/bin/phpunit

If you receive no output, it's likely that there's something wrong with your environment. Try running PHPUnit with PHP's error output enabled:, _(*15)

$ php -d display_errors=On -d display_startup_errors=On \
        vendor/phpunit/phpunit/phpunit
