PHP package for interacting with the Particle Cloud, and its cloud-connected devices (Photon, P0, P1, Electron)

TODO

Work in progress, but main tasks are:

• Create tests.
• Remove old Spark code.
• Replace examples.
• Maybe remove the debug logging, given we have enough injected points to set debug.
• Full coverage of the API. Authentication as an application plus orgs are the main areas left.

Quick Installation

Using composer:

composer.phar require academe/particle

Add dependencies for the demo:

composer.phar require guzzlehttp/guzzle

Example Class

All the examples have been put into the Academe\Particle\Example class. Please look into this class to see how the API works.

In summary, this package generates PSR-7 messages, which are sent using any suitable HTTP client.

At the moment there is no interpretation of the results - you need to get the results you need from the PSR-7 response, the format of which is documented in the Particle API documentation.

You can be run the examples like this:

use Academe\Particle\Example;

$accessToken = 'your-account-access-token';
$deviceId = 'your-device-id';
$email = 'your-cloud-email-username';
$password = 'your-cloud-password';

// Instantiate the example class.
$example = new Example($access_token, $device, $email, $password);

// Flash the device with the Tinker application.
$response = $example->flashTinker();
//$response = $example->setDeviceName();
//$response = $example->setDeviceName('christmas_turkey');
//$response = $example->listDevices();
//$response = $example->getDevice();
//$response = $example->getDevice('20033307343c03805403a138');
//$response = $example->newAccessToken();
//$response = $example->listTokens();
//$response = $example->deleteAccessToken('176a67f0d31647beac429252af8663a5040a945c');
//$response = $example->callFunction();
//$response = $example->listOranizations();
//$response = $example->removeMember('my_organization', 'someone@example.com');

echo "Status=" . $response->getStatusCode() . "\n";
echo "Reason=" . $response->getReasonPhrase() . "\n";
echo "Detail=" . $response->getBody() . "\n";

Don't forget to install Guzzle (v6) to run these examples:

composer require guzzlehttp/guzzle

Most of the other examples in this class require the Tinker application to be installed as the first step.
