This plugin provides access to Xero OAuth2 API for CakePHP. This plugin is wrapper around Xero PHP official SDK.

Requirements

• CakePHP 3.5 or greater
• PHP 5.6 or greater

Installation

1. You can install this plugin into your CakePHP application using composer

   composer require cakephp-biztech/cakephp-xero-oauth2
   

2. After installation, load the plugin

   Plugin::load('XeroOauth2', ['routes' => true]);

   Or, you can load the plugin using the shell command:

   bin/cake plugin load -r XeroOauth2
   

3. Run plugin migration to create table

   bin/cake migrations migrate -p XeroOauth2
   

Setup

Now create new file to set your Xero App details.

1. Create new file xero_config.php in config directory:

   <?php
   
   return [
       'XeroOauth2' => [
           'clientId' => 'your-client-id',
           'clientSecret' => 'your-client-secret',
           'baseUri' => 'https://example.com',
           'scope' => [
               'openid',
               'email',
               'profile',
               'offline_access',
               'accounting.settings',
               'accounting.contacts',
               // Any other scopes needed for your application goes here
           ],
           'successUrl' => 'http://example.com/success'
       ]
   ];

   Note: Do not forget to replace "https://example.com" with your website URL in your config/xero_config.php file.

2. After creating the configuration file, make sure to load the file in your bootstrap.php:

   Configure::load('xero_config', 'default');

Important:

When you create your Xero API App you must have to specify 'OAuth 2.0 redirect URI' to https://your-website.com/xero-oauth2/callback (replace "https://your-website.com" with your website URL).

Usage

This plugin ships with XeroOauth component which can be used to get the instance of:

• \XeroAPI\XeroPHP\Api\AccountingApi via accountingApi() method
• \XeroAPI\XeroPHP\Api\AssetApi via assetApi() method
• \XeroAPI\XeroPHP\Api\IdentityApi via identityApi() method
• \XeroAPI\XeroPHP\Api\ProjectApi via projectApi() method

Load XeroOauth component:

$this->loadComponent('XeroOauth2.XeroOauth');
$accountingApi = $this->XeroOauth->accountingApi();

Once you have an instance of \XeroAPI\XeroPHP\Api\AccountingApi::class you're dealing directly with Xero's official SDK.

The Accounting API requires we pass through a tenant ID on each request. You can get value of that using Storage component. Also, you can get additional token details from this component as well.

$this->loadComponent('XeroOauth2.Storage');
$tenantId = $this->Storage->getXeroTenantId();

Following examples shows how to get contacts from Accounting API:

src/Controller/ContactsController.php

<?php
namespace App\Controller;

class ContactsController extends AppController
{
    public function index()
    {
        $this->loadComponent('XeroOauth2.Storage');
        $this->loadComponent('XeroOauth2.XeroOauth');

        $tenantId = $this->Storage->getXeroTenantId();
        $accountingApi = $this->XeroOauth->accountingApi();

        foreach ($accountingApi->getContacts($tenantId)->getContacts() as $contact) {
            debug([
                'id' => $contact->getContactId(),
                'name' => $contact->getName(),
                'email' => $contact->getEmailAddress(),
            ]);
        }
    }
}
