Setka Workflow PHP SDK

The library is developed to simplify your interaction with Workflow API. With Workflow API, you can update ticket information and manage post categories.

Guzzle is used to send HTTP requests. You can use any available handler with Guzzle, including cURL, Stream, etc., or create your own.

Basics

To start, install the library into your project using Composer Dependency Manager (the library is not yet registered at packagist.org, but we’re working on it!). In order to execute composer require you have to:

1. Open the composer.json file and specify the repository field and the following information:

   "repositories": [
     {
       "type": "git",
       "url": "https://github.com/setkaio/workflow-php-sdk.git"
     }
   ]

2. Execute the composer require command from your project directory.

   composer require setka/workflow-php-sdk

How do I start working with Workflow API?

An API license key is required for sending requests. Copy your API License Key from "Account Settings":

1. Log in your Workflow account workflow.setka.io.
2. Go "Settings" at the right hand upper corner.
3. Click "Custom CMS" and copy an API license key.

Sending your First Request to Setka Workflow API

First, initialize these objects to send requests:

• Setka\WorkflowSDK\API — a main object for API interaction.
  • GuzzleHttp\Client — sends HTTP-requests using the chosen Handler.
  • Setka\WorkflowSDK\AuthCredits — stores data required for Workflow API authentication (API license token).
• Setka\WorkflowSDK\Actions\ActionInterface — any class with this interface is set for sending appropriate requests to the API.

use Setka\WorkflowSDK\APIFactory;
use Setka\WorkflowSDK\Actions\Spaces\GetSpaceAction;

try {
  // Use APIFactory for quick usage or to create manually.
  $api = APIFactory::create('YOUR_TOKEN');
  
  // Create an Action to obtain data.
  $action = new GetSpaceAction($api);

  // Prevent generating Guzzle exceptions.
  $details = $action->configureDetails(array(
    'options' => array(
      'http_errors' => false,
    ),
  ));

  $entity = $action
    // Save settings and parameters
    ->setDetails($details)
    // Perform a request
    ->request()
    // Handling response to requests (each Action has its own handleResponse method)
    ->handleResponse();
    
  // If no exception is thrown, your request was successful.
  // You can then move on to use $entity object (Setka\WorkflowSDK\Entities\SpaceEntity).
    
  $shortName = $entity->getShortName();
  $name      = $entity->getName();
} catch (\Exception $exception) {
    // Error
}

Creating a Category

Once you’ve performed your first request, you can save "Space Short Name" as a parameter for sending future requests. "Space Short Name" is used almost in all requests so we recommend that you cache the "GetSpaceAction" response for better performance.

try {
  $api = APIFactory::create('YOUR_TOKEN');
  
  // Creating an action to set up a category
  $action = new CreateCategoryAction($api);

  // Configuring an action
  $details = $action->configureDetails(array(
    // Use a value from a previous request
    'space' => 'your-space-short-name',
    'options' => array(
      // Disable exceptions in Guzzle
      'http_errors' => false,
      'json' => array(
        'name' => 'Your name for category',
      ),
    ),
  ));

  $entity = $action
    ->setDetails($details)
    ->request()
    ->handleResponse();
    
  // Category sucessfylly created!
  // Using $entity instance in your code    
} catch (\Exception $exception) {
  // Error
}
