This CakePHP 3 plugin provides integration with the TMDB API for retrieving data on movies and television from [themoviedb.org](https://www.themoviedb.org/). It makes use of an established [TMDB API wrapper](https://github.com/php-tmdb/api) and the [Webservice](https://github.com/UseMuffin/Webservice) plugin for CakePHP.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- CakePHP 3.x
- A valid TMDB API key

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install using composer: `composer require drmonkeyninja/cakephp-tmdb:3.0.*`

Then add the following lines to bootstrap.php to load the plugin:

```
Plugin::load('Muffin/Webservice');
Plugin::load('CakeTmdb');
```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

You will need to configure a new webservice in config/app.php using your TMDB API key:

```
'Webservices' => [
    'Tmdb' => [
        'className' => 'Muffin\Webservice\Connection',
        'service' => 'CakeTmdb\Lib\Tmdb\Driver\Tmdb',
        'api_key' => 'your_tmdb_api_key'
    ]
]
```

Then in bootstrap.php instruct the `ConnectionManager` to consume the webservice:

```
ConnectionManager::setConfig(Configure::consume('Webservices'));
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

This plugin uses the [TMDB API library](https://github.com/php-tmdb/api) so you have full access to all of the methods provided there.

For example, to search the database for movies with the title 'Toy Story':

```
$tmdb = \Cake\Datasource\ConnectionManager::get('Tmdb');
$data = $tmdb->getSearchApi()->searchMovies('Toy Story');
```

### TmdbHelper

[](#tmdbhelper)

A handy little helper comes with the plugin for rendering TMDB images using the paths returned by the API. To use include the `Tmdb` helper in your controller as normal:-

```
public $helpers = ['CakeTmdb.Tmdb'];
```

Then in your view:-
