README

A Laravel wrapper for the spatie/packagist-api package.

Installation

You can install this package with composer:

composer require markwalet/laravel-packagist

Laravel uses Package auto-discovery, so you don't have to register the service provider. If you want to register the service provider manually, add the following line to your config/app.php file:

MarkWalet\Packagist\PackagistServiceProvider::class,

Usage

There are two main ways how you can make Packagist calls:

Using the application container

/** @var \Spatie\Packagist\PackagistClient $client */
$client = app(\Spatie\Packagist\PackagistClient::class);

$client->getPackage('markwalet', 'laravel-packagist');

Using the facade

Packagist::getPackage('markwalet', 'laravel-packagist');

Available methods

List package names

// All packages
Packagist::getPackagesNames();

// Filter on type.
Packagist::getPackagesNamesByType('composer-plugin');

// Filter on organization
Packagist::getPackagesNamesByVendor('markwalet');

Searching for packages

// Search packages by name.
Packagist::searchPackagesByName('packagist');

// Search packages by tag.
Packagist::searchPackagesByTags('psr-3');

// Search packages by type.
Packagist::searchPackagesByType('composer-plugin');

// Combined search.
Packagist::searchPackages('packagist', ['type' => 'library']);

Pagination

Searching for packages returns a paginated result. You can change the pagination settings by adding more parameters.

// Get the third page, 10 items per page.
Packagist::searchPackagesByName('packagist', 3, 10);

Getting package data.

// Using the Composer metadata. (faster, but less data)
Packagist::getPackageMetadata('markwalet/laravel-packagist');
Packagist::getPackageMetadata('markwalet', 'laravel-packagist');

// Using the API. (slower, cached for 12 hours by Packagist.
Packagist::getPackage('markwalet/laravel-packagist');
Packagist::getPackage('markwalet', 'laravel-packagist');

Get Statistics

$packagist->getStatistics();

Configuration

By default, the api url for Packagist is set to https://packagist.org. If you want to override that, you can add the following code block to your config/services.php file:

'packagist' => [
    'base_url' => 'https://packagist.org',
    'repo_url' => 'https://repo.packagist.org',
],
