Rocket Chat REST API client in PHP
==================================

[](#rocket-chat-rest-api-client-in-php)

Cloned from fab1en/rocket-chat-rest-client

Use this client if you need to connect to Rocket Chat with a software written in PHP, such as WordPress or Drupal.

How to use
----------

[](#how-to-use)

This Rocket Chat client is installed via [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/). To install, simply add it to your `composer.json` file:

```
{
    "require": {
        "fab1en/rocket-chat-rest-client": "dev-master"
    }
}
```

And run composer to update your dependencies:

```
$ curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php
$ php composer.phar update

```

Then, import the `autoload.php` from your `vendor` folder.

After this, you have to define some constants to point to your Rocket Chat instance

```
define('REST_API_ROOT', '/api/v1/');
define('ROCKET_CHAT_INSTANCE', 'https://my-rocket-chat-instance.example.org');
```

Finally, instance the classes you need:

```
$api = new \RocketChat\Client();
echo $api->version(); echo "\n";

// login as the main admin user
$admin = new \RocketChat\User('my-admin-name', 'my-admin-password');
if( $admin->login() ) {
	echo "admin user logged in\n";
};
$admin->info();
echo "I'm {$admin->nickname} ({$admin->id}) "; echo "\n";
```

Manage user
-----------

[](#manage-user)

```
// create a new user
$newuser = new \RocketChat\User('new_user_name', 'new_user_password', array(
	'nickname' => 'New user nickname',
	'email' => 'newuser@example.org',
));
if( !$newuser->login(false) ) {
	// actually create the user if it does not exist yet
  $newuser->create();
}
echo "user {$newuser->nickname} created ({$newuser->id})\n";
```

Post a message
--------------

[](#post-a-message)

```
// create a new channel
$channel = new \RocketChat\Channel( 'my_new_channel', array($newuser, $admin) );
$channel->create();
// post a message
$channel->postMessage('Hello world');
```
