One of the things that this means is the library doesn't hide away that fact that API requests are being made. For each API request, the request should be created with parameters passed in, sent and then response reviewed. All requests are available via the Client. ``` use Bobbyshaw\WatsonVisualRecognition\Client; use Bobbyshaw\WatsonVisualRecognition\Classifier; $client = new Client(); ``` The client should then be initialized with parameters, e.g. username and password (your IBM Watson Service credentials). ``` $client->initialize(['username' => 'abcdef', 'password' => '12356]) ``` The following can be used find default parameters ``` $client->getDefaultParameters(); ``` Each method matches an API request and returns a request object ready to be sent. Most of the time you'll want to send the request straight away. ``` $request = $client->getClassifiers(); $response = $request->send(); ``` Each response has a class which helps to manage the response, e.g with the Classifier and Image classes. ``` /** @var Classifier[] $classifiers */ $classifiers = $response->getClassifiers(); ``` Commands -------- [](#commands) The library also comes with a set of commands to use on the command line ### Get Classifiers [](#get-classifiers) ``` php app/console classifiers:get [-d|--version-date="..."] username password ``` ### Classify Image(s) [](#classify-images) ``` php app/console classifiers:classify [-c|--classifiers="..."] [-d|--version-date="..."] username password images ``` ### Get Classifier Info [](#get-classifier-info) ``` php app/console classifier:get [-d|--version-date="..."] username password classifier_id ``` ### Create/Train Classifier [](#createtrain-classifier) ``` php app/console classifier:create [-d|--version-date="..."] username password positive_examples negative_examples name ``` ### Delete Classifier [](#delete-classifier) ``` php app/console classifier:delete [-d|--version-date="..."] username password classifier_id ``` Testing ------- [](#testing) Run phpunit tests with: ``` vendor/bin/phpunit ``` This is also using grumphp to automatically check for PSR style formatting as well. Test images are provided by [Pixabay](https://pixabay.com/). Documentation ------------- [](#documentation) PHPDocumentor is being used for creating library documentation. So make sure to add function comments ``` vendor/bin/ ``` You may need to install graphViz on your machine if you don't already have it. This can be done on mac with homebrew ``` brew install graphviz ``` ### Health Score 28 — LowBetter than 54% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity13 Limited adoption so far Community10 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity59 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
