GithubApiBundle

A simple bridge between KnpLabs/php-github-api and Symfony 2/3., _(*1)

Installation

Require the bundle with composer:, _(*2)

composer require maxikg/github-api-bundle

Now register the bundle:, _(*3)

<?php
// app/AppKernel.php
public function registerBundles()
{
    $bundles = array(
        // ...
        new Maxikg\GithubApiBundle\GithubApiBundle(),
    );
    // ...
}

Configuration

The default configuration looks like:, _(*4)

# app/config/config.yml
github_api:
    cache:
        enabled: false
        service: github.http.cache
    client: null
    enterprise_url: null
    authentication:
        type: none
        token: null
        client_id: null
        client_secret: null
        username: null
        password: null

cache configures the cached client.
- enabled (boolean) allows to turn the cache on or off.
- service (string) allows to specify a custom cache service. A cache must implements Github\HttpClient\Cache\CacheInterface
client configures client options. The allowed settings may vary from implementation to implementation. However, the defaults are:
- base_url (string) specify the base API url (if you're using GitHub Enterprise you should use the enterprise_url configuration described below).
- user_agent (string) specify the value for the User-Agent header. GitHub likes to see your or your applications name here.
- timeout (integer) specifies the connection time out in seconds.
- api_limit (integer) unknown purpose.
- api_version (string) the requested api version.
- cache_dir (string) the cache directory. But I recommend to use the cache configuration section instead to avoid problems.
enterprise_url (string) configures a url for a GitHub Enterprise instance.
authentication configures the authentication with the api. You can use the GitHub.com API mostly without major restrictions without an authentication. GH Enterprise requires the authentication for nearly anything.
- type (string) the authentication type:
  - none for disabled authentication.
  - url_token for appending an OAuth Token to the url by setting the access_token parameter.
  - url_client_id for appending your client's id and secret to the url by setting the client_id and client_secret parameter.
  - http_password for authenticating via HTTP header by setting your username and password. This won't work, if two factor authentication is enabled.
  - http_token for appending an OAuth Token to the HTTP headers.
- token (string) specifies the OAuth Token. Only for url_token and http_token types.
- client_id (string) specifies the client id. Only for url_client_id type.
- client_secret (string) specifies the client secret. Only for url_client_id type.
- username (string) specifies your username. Only for http_password type.
- password (string) specifies your password. Only for http_password type.

But you aren't required to configure this Bundle. It will also work with the defaults., _(*5)

Usage

You can obtain a instance of Github\Client by require the service github.client., _(*6)
