Usage

Basic Usage

use Rumenx\PhpVcard\VCard; $vcard = new VCard(); $vcard->addName('Jon', 'Snow'); $vcard->addEmail('jon@example.com'); $vcard->addPhone('+1234567890'); $vcard->addAddress('123 Main St', 'City', 'State', '12345', 'Country'); // Save to file $vcard->saveToFile('jon_snow.vcf'); // Or get as string $content = $vcard->toString();

Laravel Example

use Rumenx\PhpVcard\VCard; Route::get('/vcard', function () { $vcard = new VCard(); $vcard->addName('Arya', 'Stark'); $vcard->addEmail('arya@example.com'); $vcard->addPhone('+1987654321'); return response($vcard->toString(), 200, [ 'Content-Type' => 'text/vcard', 'Content-Disposition' => 'attachment; filename="arya_stark.vcf"', ]); });

Symfony Example

use Rumenx\PhpVcard\VCard; use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response; // ... $vcard = new VCard(); $vcard->addName('Alice', 'Brown'); $vcard->addEmail('alice@example.com'); $vcard->addPhone('+1122334455'); $response = new Response( $vcard->toString(), 200, [ 'Content-Type' => 'text/vcard', 'Content-Disposition' => 'attachment; filename="alice_brown.vcf"', ] );

Framework Integration

This package follows a simple, framework-agnostic approach by design. Unlike packages that require special adapters, service providers, or complex integrations, php-vcard works out-of-the-box with any PHP framework or plain PHP project.

Why no special adapters?

• Simplicity: Just instantiate new VCard() - no magic, no hidden complexity
• Universal compatibility: Works with Laravel, Symfony, CodeIgniter, or any PHP framework
• Easy debugging: No framework-specific layers to troubleshoot
• Minimal maintenance: No need to maintain separate adapters for different frameworks
• Standard PHP: Uses only basic PHP features (strings, arrays, file operations)

This approach makes the package more reliable, easier to understand, and ensures it will continue working across different framework versions without requiring updates.
