README

PHP library for interacting with the PetAndGo.com API within a WordPress site.

Installation

Install using Composer composer require bigwing/pet-and-go-wp and use the Composer autoloader.

Configuration

The only required setting is your PetAndGo API key (authkey), which must be passed to the class on instantiation. Common ways to do this:

• In wp-config.php, set a constant with define( 'PET_AND_GO_AUTHKEY', 'your_auth_key' );.
• Use dotEnv to set the key.
• Create a WP settings page and store the key there.

Usage

You can use this inside a theme or plugin, but this package DOES NOT dictate front-end output.

• Use the Composer autoloader to ensure the files are loaded.
• Instantiate the class with new PetAndGo\PetAndGo( PET_AND_GO_AUTHKEY );.

Note: You may choose to assign it to a variable if you're going to use it right away, but you can also create the class in your main functions.php file and use PetAndGo::get_instance(); in any templates to get the main instance.

Getting pets list:

You can pass a species name to get_adoptable_pets() for a specific pet type. Currently, only "cat", "dog", or "all" are supported.

$pet_search = BigWing\PetAndGo\PetAndGo::get_instance();
$pets = $pet_search->get_adoptable_pets( 'dog' );
