League of Legends PHP API Client

This client use the API server provided by : https://github.com/EloGank/lol-php-api

Installation

From Composer

In the require key :

{
    "require": {
        "elogank/lol-php-api-client": "1.0.*@dev"
    }
}

Then, in a CLI window :

php composer.phar update "elogank/php-lol-api"

Composer what ?

Ok, here a fast lesson about Composer.
Composer is a PHP CLI dependency manager. Download Composer in your project root directory, here : https://getcomposer.org/download/

Then, you'll have a new file : composer.phar.
Now create a composer.json, and read this brief documentation : https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md
Finally, install this repository !

How to use

The Client object need three parameters, and two as optionals :

• $host the server host IP address
• $port the server port
• $format the default output format
• $throwException (optional, default: true) if true, an ApiException will be throw on error and the response won't contain the first array level which contain "success" & "result"/"error" keys.
• $timeout (optional, default: your php.ini "default_socket_timeout" configuration) the connection timeout, in second.

In short :

// Declare your client and the configuration
$client = new \EloGank\ApiClient\Client('127.0.0.1', 8080, 'json');

// Do your API request
try {
    $response = $client->send('EUW', 'summoner.summoner_existence', ['Foobar']);
} catch (\EloGank\ApiClient\Exception\ApiException $e) {
    // error
    var_dump($e->getCause(), $e->getMessage());
}

The send() method have three parameters and one optional :

• region it's the client region short name (EUW, NA, ...). Make sure there is a registered client for the selected region in your API !
• route the API route, in short it's the "controller_name.method_name"
• parameters it's the route parameters, it's an array
• format (optional) if you need a specific format for a specific route (see the API configuration documentation for available formats)

Example

This example is available in the file examples/index.php.

Note 1: use 192.168.100.10 instead of 127.0.0.1 if you using Virtual Machine for the API server.
Note 2: a ConnectionException can be thrown if there is a problem with the server (timeout or connection refused, for example). Be sure to handle this case by surrounding with a try/catch and set the timeout in the Client::__construct() when an API client timeout.

// examples/index.php
