evinkuraga/tmdb-laravel
=======================

This is a fork of the package php-tmdb/laravel. Instead of waiting for the maintainer to update the php-tmdb/api package to reflect the latest changes from the API, I've decided to fix these. These packages are actively used for http://flixi.com, which means these we will be most likely maintaining these with regular updates as the TMDB api integrates new changes. Original Description: Laravel Package for TMDB ( The Movie Database ) API. Provides easy access to the wtfzdotnet/php-tmdb-api library.

A Laravel package that provides easy access to the [php-tmdb/api](https://github.com/php-tmdb/api) TMDB (The Movie Database) API wrapper. This package comes with a service provider that configures the `Tmdb\Client` and registers it to the IoC container. Both Laravel 5 and 4 are supported.

Looking for maintainers
-----------------------

[](#looking-for-maintainers)

*We are urgently looking for new mainteners of this library, we need someone that can steer this package in the right direction for the Laravel community, we do not currently have anybody on the `php-tmdb` team that uses laravel on a daily basis. We want the default standards to be met and unit tests to be available just to verify the part of the integration with the framework works. Send an email to `php-laravel@wtfz.net` if you are interested, or are willing to help out.*

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

[](#installation)

Install Composer

```
$ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
$ sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

```

Add the following to your require block in `composer.json` config

```
"evinkuraga/laravel": "~1.0"

```

or just run the following command in your project:

```
composer require evinkuraga/laravel

```

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

[](#configuration)

Add to your `app/config/app.php` (Laravel 4) or `config/app.php` (Laravel <5.5) the service provider:

```
'providers' => array(
    // other service providers

    'Tmdb\Laravel\TmdbServiceProvider',
)
```

Then publish the configuration file:

### Laravel 4

[](#laravel-4)

```
php artisan config:publish php-tmdb/laravel

```

### Laravel 5

[](#laravel-5)

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Tmdb\Laravel\TmdbServiceProviderLaravel5"

```

Next you can modify the generated configuration file `tmdb.php` accordingly.

That's all! Fire away!

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

We can choose to either use the `Tmdb` Facade, or to use dependency injection.

### Facade example

[](#facade-example)

The example below shows how you can use the `Tmdb` facade. If you don't want to keep adding the `use Tmdb\Laravel\Facades\Tmdb;` statement in your files, then you can also add the facade as an alias in `config/app.php` file.

```
use Tmdb\Laravel\Facades\Tmdb; // optional for Laravel ≥5.5

class MoviesController {

    function show($id)
    {
        // returns information of a movie
        return Tmdb::getMoviesApi()->getMovie($id);
    }
}
```

### Dependency injection example

[](#dependency-injection-example)

```
use Tmdb\Repository\MovieRepository;

class MoviesController {

    private $movies;

    function __construct(MovieRepository $movies)
    {
        $this->movies = $movies;
    }

    function index()
    {
        // returns information of a movie
        return $this->movies->getPopular();
    }
}
```

### Listening to events

[](#listening-to-events)

We can easily listen to events that are dispatched using the Laravel event dispatcher that we're familiar with. The following example listens to any request that is made and logs a message.

```
use Log;
use Event;
use Tmdb\Event\TmdbEvents;
use Tmdb\Event\RequestEvent;

Event::listen(TmdbEvents::REQUEST, function(RequestEvent $event) {
    Log::info("A request was made to TMDB");
    // do stuff with $event
});
```

In Laravel 5 instead of using the `Event` facade we could also have used the `EventServiceProvider` to register our event listener.

### Image helper

[](#image-helper)

You can easily use the `ImageHelper` by using dependency injection. The following example shows how to show the poster image of the 20 most popular movies.

```
namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Tmdb\Helper\ImageHelper;
use Tmdb\Repository\MovieRepository;

class WelcomeController extends Controller {

    private $movies;
    private $helper;

    public function __construct(MovieRepository $movies, ImageHelper $helper)
    {
        $this->movies = $movies;
        $this->helper = $helper;
    }

    /**
     * Show the application welcome screen to the user.
     *
     * @return Response
     */
    public function index()
    {
        $popular = $this->movies->getPopular();

        foreach ($popular as $movie)
        {
            $image = $movie->getPosterImage();
            echo ($this->helper->getHtml($image, 'w154', 260, 420));
        }
    }

}
```

The `Configuration` used by the `Tmdb\Helper\ImageHelper` is automatically loaded by the IoC container. If you are a Laravel 5.1 user you could also use the blade's `@inject` functionality,

```
@inject('image', 'Tmdb\Helper\ImageHelper')

@foreach ($movies as $movie)
    {!! $image->getHtml($movie->getPosterImage(), 'w154', 260, 420) !!}
@endforeach

```

### Registering plugins

[](#registering-plugins)

Plugins can be registered in a service provider using the `boot()` method.

```
namespace App\Providers;

use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
use Tmdb\HttpClient\Plugin\LanguageFilterPlugin;

class TmdbServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider {

    /**
     * Add a Dutch language filter to the Tmdb client
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function boot()
    {
        $plugin = new LanguageFilterPlugin('nl');
        $client = $this->app->make('Tmdb\Client');
        $client->getHttpClient()->addSubscriber($plugin);
    }

    /**
     * Register services
     * @return void
     */
    public function register()
    {
        // register any services that you need
    }
}
```
