StatHat

This is a simple, modern API wrapper for StatHat. It also includes optional support for usage as a service in Laravel 5., _(*1)

Installation

Install with Composer:, _(*2)

"require": {
    "dosomething/stathat": "^2.0.0"
}

Usage

In vanilla PHP, require the Client class and create a new instance with your credentials., _(*3)

  use DoSomething\StatHat\Client as StatHat;

  $stathat = new StatHat([
    'user_key' => '<your_user_key>',       // required for count() and value()
    'ez_key' => 'your_ez_key@example.com', // required for ezCount() and ezValue()
    'access_token' => 'ABC123abc',         // required for AlertsAPI
    'prefix' => 'appname - ',              // optional! will be prepended to EZ stat names
    'debug' => false,                      // optional! will prevent sending stats if true.
  ]);

  // And go!
  $stathat->ezCount('<stat_name>', 1);
  $stathat->ezValue('<stat_name>', 15);

  $stathat->count('<stat_key>', 1);
  $stathat->value('<stat_key>', 9);

Laravel Usage

Laravel support is built-in. Simply add a service provider & facade alias to your config/app.php:, _(*4)

  'providers' => [
    // ...
    DoSomething\StatHat\StatHatServiceProvider::class,
  ],

  'aliases' => [
    // ...
    'StatHat' => DoSomething\StatHat\Facades\StatHat::class
  ],

Finally, add your keys to the config/services.php configuration array:, _(*5)

  'stathat' => [
    'user_key' => '<your_user_key>',       // required for count() and value()
    'ez_key' => 'your_ez_key@example.com', // required for ezCount() and ezValue()
    'prefix' => 'appname - ',              // optional! will be prepended to EZ stat names
    'debug' => env('APP_DEBUG'),           // optional! will prevent sending stats in debug mode.
  ],

The StatHat facade will now be accessible from anywhere in your application:, _(*6)

  StatHat::ezCount('<stat_name>', 1);
  StatHat::ezValue('<stat_name>', 15);

  StatHat::count('stat_key', 1);
  StatHat::value('stat_key', 9);
