Phabricator PHP API (Conduit client)

This is a PHP based client for Phabricator API. Phabricator is an open source, software engineering platform, built in PHP, and it has a very nice API called Conduit. For all available endpoint and method name, see the Conduit Application in the live Phabricator instance.

Basic useful feature list:

• Fully implemented all current API endpoint
• Ability to make custom Client implementation
• Custom handler class for each endpoint

Installation

With composer

Run this command inside your project

composer require zolli/phabricator-php-api

Or past this dependency into your composer.json manually

{
  "require": {
        "zolli/phabricator-php-api": "2.0.*"
    }
}

Documentation

Initialization

//Initialization the instance
$api = new \Phabricator\Phabricator('http://phabricator.example.com', 'cli-exmapletoken')

The API is now ready to use. This class uses magic method to proxy the calls to the suitable endpoint handler. Phabricator methods should looks like this: project.query. In this package exploded into two parts.

The first is the endpoint (Project in this example) and the method (query);

With this example the call is looks like this:

$result = $api->Project('query', ['status' => 'status-open']);

In this example the /api/project.query API is called and the status argument is passed.

Using custom client

This API of this package is allows you to make custom API clients that run the request for you. All client should implement the Phabricator\Client\ClientInterface interface.

Custom clients should be injected in two different way.

Injecting trough the constructor

$myClient = \Vendor\Package\MyAwesomeApiClient();

$api = new \Phabricator\Phabricator('http://phabricator.example.com', 'cli-exmapletoken', $myClient);

Or you can use the Phabricator::setClient(ClientInterface $client) method.

$myClient = \Vendor\Package\MyAwesomeApiClient();

$api = new \Phabricator\Phabricator('http://phabricator.example.com', 'cli-exmapletoken');
$api->setClient($myClient);

Custom endpoint handlers

Handlers are various classes that handle the execution and post-processing of endpoint methods. By default all API endpoint have handler, but only the default that no do any pre- or post-processing.

By example a custom handler can read and write files when using the file.upload or file.download method.

To achieve this create a class that implements the \Phabricator\Endpoints\EndpointInterface and extends the \Phabricator\Endpoints\BaseEndpoint class and you good to go.

The BaseEndpoint provides a defaultExecutor() method that executed when an endpoint method not has any specific executor.

When creating custom executor method this methods will be used when calling an endpoint method.

Look the BaseEndpoint and any endpoint handler for more information.

Suppose that you created and endpoint handler with this FQCN: \Vendor\Package\Hander\FileHander; You can push this handler like this:

Tha first argument is the endpoint name for this handler is listen and the second is the FQCN of the handler.

    $api = new \Phabricator\Phabricator('http://phabricator.example.com', 'cli-exmapletoken');

    $api->pushEndpointHandler('File', FileHandler::class);

Responses

The client is returning \Phabricator\Response\ConduitResponse as response. Look API documentation for methods.

Upgrading

From 1.0.0

In the 2.0.0 release the API is changed significantly and the underlying API dramatically. So, this release probably not compatible with components that created for 1.0.0

Main API Differences:

• The \Phabricator\Phabricator constructor only take the baseUrl and the tokens as arguemnt
• Client registration in constructor is now optional
• Registering custom endpoint handler only require the handler Fully qualified class name, not instance
• Instead of \stdClass responses now \Phabricator\Response\ConduitResponse objects.
• The \Phabricator\Client\ClientInterface interface changed significantly.
• The arguments of endpoint handler methods (executors) changed.
• Now not using exceptions from global namespace, instead use buildr/foundation package exceptions
• Clients not responsible for request data formatting.
