EffectConnectSDK

SDK for EffectConnect API integration

This is a simple SDK to start connecting to our API.

So far this SDK only includes functionality and examples to create an order and inject a productfeed.

More information about the EffectConnect API: EffectConnect Docs

Getting started

Step 1: Installing the project

Including the project can be done via composer:

    composer require effectconnect/php-sdk

Or by downloading the source code and including the autoloader:

    require_once(realpath(__DIR__.'/..').'/autoload/effectConnectSdk.php');

Step 2: Creating your API Keyset

For this step you'll need to go to your EffectConnect environment and create an API Keyset.

Make sure you assign all the required permissions to this keyset in order to use the calls you intend to.

Step 3: Basics

To use any API call you are required to create a Keychain and instantiate a Core object.

    use EffectConnect\PHPSdk\Core\Helper\Keychain;
    use EffectConnect\PHPSdk\Core;
    
    $keychain  = (new Keychain())
        ->setPublicKey('YourPublicKey')
        ->setSecretKey('YourSecretKey')
    ;
    // Instantiate the API Core
    $core = new Core($keychain);

Step 4: Creating an Api Call object

At the moment, the following Call objects are available:

• OrderCall
• OrderListCall
• ProductsCall
• ProcessCall
• ReportCall

These objects can be obtained by calling their respective methods in the Core:

    $orderCall = $core->OrderCall();

Step 5: Preparing your Api Call

All Api calls have their own requirements and will be validated. If invalid information is being passed to the call, an InvalidPayloadException will be thrown.

In this example we will read an order with identifier EC-ORDER-ID;

    use EffectConnect\PHPSdk\Core\Model\Request\OrderReadRequest;
    $orderReadRequest = (new OrderReadRequest())
        ->setIdentifierType(OrderReadRequest::TYPE_EFFECTCONNECT_NUMBER)
        ->setIdentifier('EC-ORDER-ID')
    ;
    $apiCall = $orderCall->read($orderReadRequest);

Now that we have our prepared ApiCall object, we can make the call to EffectConnect. At this stage no communication has taken place, the ApiCall::call() method is the first (and only) time you will connect with the EffectConnect API server.

    $apiCall->call();

Step 6: Checking the call

Now that we've made a call to EffectConnect, it's time to check whether everything has gone the way we intended to or if everything went the way of the dodo...

In case something went terribly wrong, the ApiCall::isSuccess() method will return false and more information about this failure should be found via the ApiCall::getErrors() method.

    if (!$apiCall->isSuccess()) 
    {
        // Check $apiCall->getErrors() for errors that have occurred.
    }

Step 7: Process your response

Yay, everything went exactly as we planned! Now it's time to do something with the response. The SDK contains objects for all the Response Containers.

This means you can access and process any information EffectConnect returns to you. In our example, an instance of OrderReadResponseContainer will be contained in our Response object.

Let's find out which identifiers are assigned to our EC-ORDER-ID!

    // The EffectConnect\PHPSdk\Core\Model\Response\ApiResponseContainer
    $responseContainer = $apiCall->getResponseContainer();
    // The EffectConnect\PHPSdk\Core\Model\Response\Response
    $response          = $responseContainer->getResponse();
    if ($response->getResult() === Response::STATUS_SUCCESS)
    {
        // The EffectConnect\PHPSdk\Core\Model\Response\OrderReadResponseContainer
        $orderResponse = $response->getResponseContainer();
        // Our EffectConnect\PHPSdk\Core\Model\Response\Order
        $order         = $orderResponse->getOrder();
        echo '<pre>';
        print_r($order->getIdentifiers());
        echo '</pre>';
    }
