[](#amazon-alexa-php-library)

Changes (reasons for fork)
--------------------------

[](#changes-reasons-for-fork)

- verifiying timestamp automatically
- change timestamp verification to current certification guidelines

This library provides provides a convient interface for developing Amazon Alexa Skills for your PHP app.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Install via composer: `composer require gruessung/amazon-alexa-php`.

### Requests

[](#requests)

When Amazon Alexa triggers your skill, a HTTP request will be sent to the URL you specified for your app.

You can parse the `JSON` body of the request like so:

```
$jsonDataAsArray = $request->json()->all(); // This is how you would retrieve this with Laravel
$alexaRequest = \Alexa\Request\Request::fromData($jsonDataAsArray);
```

You can determine the type of the request with `instanceof`, e.g.:

```
if ($alexaRequest instanceof IntentRequest) {
	// Handle intent here
}
```

### Response

[](#response)

You can build an Alexa response with the `Response` class. You can optionally set a card or a reprompt too.

Here's a few examples.

```
$response = new \Alexa\Response\Response;
$response->respond('Cooool. I\'ll lower the temperature a bit for you!')
	->withCard('Temperature decreased by 2 degrees');
```

```
$response = new \Alexa\Response\Response;
$response->respond('What is your favorite color?')
	->reprompt('Please tell me your favorite color');
```

To output the response, simply use the `->render()` function, e.g. in Laravel you would create the response like so:

```
return response()->json($response->render());
```

In vanilla PHP:

```
header('Content-Type: application/json');
echo json_encode($response->render());
exit;
```
