README

This is a simple set of classes to assist in parsing and creating QBXML for communicating with Quickbooks Desktop (probably through the Quickbooks Web Connector). A lot of this is based on Keith Palmer's prior work. My take on it lets you integrate your own application logic - this library just deals with the QBXML parsing. This also adds namespacing, method chaining, and fixes a number of bugs and inconsistencies in Keith's work.

Usage

Parsing

Reading a QBXML response might look something like this:

$doc = (new \TheLogicStudio\QBXML\XML\Parser($response))->parse($errnum, $errmsg);
$root = $doc->getRoot();
$out = [];
foreach($root->getChildAt('QBXML QBXMLMsgsRs')->children() as $child) {
    if(str_ends_with($child->name(), 'QueryRs')) {
        /** @var Models\GenericObject $class */
        $class = '\\TheLogicStudio\\QBXML\\Models\\'.substr($child->name(), 0, -7);
        foreach($child->children() as $node) {
            $out[] = $class::fromXML($node);
        }
    }
}

Creating

And creating a request to send to Quickbooks might look like this:

$qbxml = (new \TheLogicStudio\QBXML\Models\Account())
    ->setName('My Account')
    ->setAccountNumber(99)
    ->asQBXML('AccountAddRq');

This code is far from perfect - if you'd like to help make it better, feel free to send a pull request on through. You can find me on 𝕏 as @IanTLS if you've got questions I guess.
