README

This is a very small bundle that registers a service for the LinkedIn client.

Easy installation

For an easy installation of all components, you can run this Composer command:

composer require php-http/curl-client guzzlehttp/psr7 php-http/message happyr/linkedin-bundle

Then add LinkedInBundle to your AppKernel.

// app/AppKernel.php
class AppKernel extends Kernel
{
    public function registerBundles()
    {
        $bundles = array(
            // ...
            new Happyr\LinkedInBundle\HappyrLinkedInBundle()
        );
    }
}

Optional

If you want some great debugging and an easier set up you may install the HTTPlugBundle.

composer require php-http/httplug-bundle

Then make sure you have both HttplugBundle and LinkedInBundle to your AppKernel.

// app/AppKernel.php
class AppKernel extends Kernel
{
    public function registerBundles()
    {
        $bundles = array(
            // ...
            new Http\HttplugBundle\HttplugBundle(),
            new Happyr\LinkedInBundle\HappyrLinkedInBundle()
        );
    }
}

Why installing so many packages?

See the installation note at the LinkedIn client (installation) or the HTTPlug documentation.

Usage

happyr_linkedin:
  app_id: 'xxx'
  app_secret: 'yyy'
  request_format: 'json' # Default
  response_format: 'array' # Default
  http_client: 'httplug.client' # Service ID for an object implementing Http\Client\HttpClient 
  http_message_factory: 'httplug.message_factory' # Service ID for an object implementing Http\Message\MessageFactory

$linkedin = $this->get('happyr.linkedin');
$user = $linkedin->get('v1/people/~:(firstName,lastName)');

Authentication

The easiest way to implement LinkedIn Authentication is to use Symfony's Guard component.
