concrete5 Nightcap
==================

[](#concrete5-nightcap)

concrete5 Nightcap is a library that aims to make getting REST just a little bit easier. With Nightcap, developers can create PHP clients for their existing API layer; if you're a developer who wants to take their REST API and offer a PHP client for it, this is the library for you.

concrete5 Nightcap is **not**:

1. A REST Library – Nightcap uses [Guzzle 6 for that](http://docs.guzzlephp.org/en/stable/)
2. A REST Web Services library – Nightcap uses [Guzzle Services for that](https://github.com/guzzle/guzzle-services).
3. An OAuth2 Client – Nightcap uses the [League OAuth2 Client for that](https://github.com/thephpleague/oauth2-client).

Nightcap does, however, include all these things.

Instead, Nightcap is a way to glue all these different things together, providing a nice object-oriented layer around various OAuth2 grant types and authorization. It uses the very handy [Guzzle OAuth2 Subscriber](https://github.com/kamermans/guzzle-oauth2-subscriber) library to handle refresh tokens and access token persistence transparently, without any configuration. Additionally, Nightcap gives you a way to define your web services easily, and offer extension as well.

Library Example
---------------

[](#library-example)

concrete5's PHP API client is built on Nightcap: it's probably the best place to start.

### Using the Client

Want to see how a developer queries the API? The test console application is a good place to start:
