Sample Usage

The only thing you have to configure are plugin option. For example, to fetch images from your account, set the get, userId and accessToken options:, _(*4)

echo Instafeed::widget([
    'pluginOptions' => [
        'get' => 'user',
        'userId' => 'YOUR_USER_ID',     // your Instagram account id, not username!
        'accessToken' => 'YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN',
    ],
]);

If, for convenience, you prefer to store application-wide configuration such as access token(s), client id(s) and user id(s) in an application component, you may find InstafeedConfig class useful, for example:, _(*5)

In an application config:, _(*6)

'components' => [
    'instafeedConfig' => [
        'class' => InstafeedConfig::className(),
        'userId' => 'YOUR_USER_ID',
        'accessToken' => 'YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN',
    ],
],

In a view:, _(*7)

$config = Yii::$app->instafeedConfig;
echo Instafeed::widget([
    'pluginOptions' => [
        'get' => 'user',
        'userId' => $config->userId,
        'accessToken' => $config->accessToken,
    ],
]);
