A simple library for the Trakt.tv API v2

Trakt API for Laravel 5

![Software License][ico-license] , _(*1)

This is a library to use the Trakt API in Laravel 5, _(*2)

Setup

To install this library you need to use composer, you can get it from here., _(*3)

When you have that installed which you probably already have since you already made a laravel project, you can run the following command:, _(*4)

composer require itsdizzy/trakt-api 1.0.x-dev

Like any laravel library you have to tell laravel how it has to use it., _(*5)

To do this you have to add the service provider to the providers array in config/app.php, _(*6)

Dizzy\Trakt\TraktServiceProvider::class

You also have to add a facade to the aliases array in config/app.php, _(*7)

'Trakt' => Dizzy\Trakt\Facades\Trakt::class,

Now laravel knows which bindings it has to create and which config files it has to load, and it made a nice little alias so you can just use the Trakt facade in your code., _(*8)

Trakt also requires at least a api key, you can get one by creating a new application here. Now open your .env file and add set the TRAKT_CLIENT_ID with your client id, _(*9)

TRAKT_CLIENT_ID=yourclientidhere

Now you are all set to use the api., _(*10)

Usage

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Trakt;

class MoviesController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * @param $id
     * @return array
     */
    public function getMovie($id)
    {
        $movie = Trakt::movies()->withImages()->get($id);

        return [
            'movie' => $movie->toArray(),
            'people' => $movie->people(),
            'releases' => $movie->releases()
        ];
    }
}

A better explanation will come soon., _(*11)
