A Football Data API bridge for Laravel

Install via Composer

Install the niccolomeloni/lara-football-data package via Composer by typing following command:

$ composer require niccolomeloni/lara-football-data

Service Provider and Facades ( Laravel 5.5 or above )

If you are using Laravel >= 5.5 that's all: this package supports Laravel new Package Discovery.

Service Provider and Facades ( Laravel 5.4 or below )

You need to add the service provider to your config/app.php providers array:

'providers' => [
    /* ... */
    Niccolomeloni\LaraFootballData\ApiFootballDataServiceProvider::class,
]

Next, you may want to add the facade to your config/app.php aliases array:

'aliases' => [
    /* ... */
    'LaraFootballData' => Niccolomeloni\LaraFootballData\Facades\ApiFootballData::class,
]

Publish the configuration

Run the following command to publish the package config file:

$ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Niccolomeloni\LaraFootballData\ApiFootballDataServiceProvider"

You should now have a config/football-data.php file that allows you to configure the basics of this package.

Examples

Here you can see an example of how to use this package with LaraFootballData facade:

LaraFootballData::competitions($season = "");
LaraFootballData::competition($competitionId)->teams();
LaraFootballData::competition($competitionId)->leagueTable($matchday = "");
LaraFootballData::competition($competitionId)->fixtures($timeFrame= "", $matchday = "");
LaraFootballData::fixtures($timeFrame= "", $matchday = "");
LaraFootballData::fixture($fixtureId, $head2head = "");
LaraFootballData::team($teamId)->fixtures($season = "", $timeFrame = "", $venue = "");
LaraFootballData::team($teamId)->players();
LaraFootballData::get('http://api.football-data.org/v1/...');

If you prefer to use dependency injection over facades like me, then you can inject the ApiFootballDataManager:

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Niccolomeloni\LaraFootballData\ApiFootballDataManager;

class FooController extends Controller
{
    protected $apiFootballDataManager;

    public function __construct(ApiFootballDataManager $apiFootballDataManager)
    {
        $this->apiFootballDataManager = $apiFootballDataManager;
    }

    public function competitions($season = "")
    {
        $this->apiFootballDataManager->competitions($season);
    }
}
