README

This library can be used to access the API provided by DSV's administrative system Daisy from PHP applications.

Installation

composer require dsv-su/daisy-api-client-php '~1.0'

Usage

Create a file daisy_api.json containing

{
    "url": "https://api.dsv.su.se/rest/",
    "user": "nisse",
    "pass": "password"
}

except with user and pass replaced by yours. Now you can use the library like this:

require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use DsvSu\Daisy;

$employees = Daisy\Employee::find(['department' => 4]);
foreach ($employees as $e) {
    $p = $e->getPerson();
    echo $p->getFirstName() . ' ' . $p->getLastName() . "\n";
}

If daisy_api.json exists in the current directory, it will be used automatically. Otherwise, you can specify its location with:

Daisy\Client::initUsingConfigFile(dirname(__FILE__) . '/daisy_api.json');

Documentation

Some functions are documented in the source code using phpdoc comments. The easiest way to understand how to use the library is to read the source and look at examples, e.g. https://github.com/dsv-su/daisyweb.

Test suite

The library has a test suite which you should run before committing anything:

vendor/bin/phpunit

It is a good idea to add test cases when you modify the code.
