$auth = new DirectusAuth($baseUrl, $email, $password);
$token = $auth->authenticate();
$newToken = $auth->refreshToken();
$auth->logout();

// Create new user
$newUser = $directus->createUser([
  'email' => 'newuser@example.com',
  'password' => 'pass1234',
  'role' => 'viewer'
]);

// Get a user
$user = $directus->getUserById(12);

// Get a user by email
$user = $directus->getUserByEmail('email@domail.com');

// Update user
$updated = $directus->updateUser(12, ['first_name' => 'John', 'last_name' => 'Doe']);

#### Usage Example:

// Create item
$newItem = $client->items('articles')->create(['title' => 'Hello', 'body' => 'World']);

// Update item
$updatedItem = $client->items('articles')->update($itemId, ['title' => 'Updated']);

// Delete item
$client->items('articles')->delete($itemId);

// Pagination example
foreach ($client->items('articles')->paginate(['limit' => 100]) as $page) {
