No need to handle the connections or interpreting the results yourself. QBankAPI2Wrapper also provides classes with metods for the most commonly used functions. Installation ------------ [](#installation) Install via composer. ``` "require": { "kaigan/qbankapi2wrapper": "~1.3" } ``` Class library ------------- [](#class-library) A class library is available at or in PDF form upon request. Usage ----- [](#usage) ### Instantiation and login [](#instantiation-and-login) There are many classes in QBankAPI2Wrapper, but it is quite easy to find the ones that does the calls to QBanks API2. They are named by the convention "QBank\_Functionality\_API", where *Functionality* tells what kind of functions the class contains. There are also one class named *QBankAPI*. It is an abstract base class and can therefore not be instantiated. To instantiate an API-class it is easiest to use the "QBankAPIFactory" class. After it has been set up. It can instantiate all the other API-classes ready to go. ``` ``` Please note that this will call `session_start()` and store a value in `$_SESSION`. #### The manual way [](#the-manual-way) If you want to handle the logins and instantiation of the API-classes yourself it is of course possible to do that. ``` ``` If there is a need to instantiate several API-classes (there often is), please refrain from logging in when instantiating every class. The best practice is to log in the first time and the recycle the session hash. A log in should only be needed one time per user session. ``` ``` ### Logging [](#logging) QBankAPI2Wrapper utilizes Monolog and has a default `Monolog\Handler\ErrorLogHandler` to allow you to see most messages in your default error log for PHP. If needed you may push other handlers via the `BaseAPI->addLogHandler()` method. ### Search [](#search) Searching is the primary way to retrive more then one object from QBank. There are several ways to conduct a search, and the preffered way to do it depends on the cirumstances. A search is done by creating a search object. Please note that this class is only available after instantiating the Search-API. It is then possible to customize the search to suit your needs. After the search object is set up, supply it to `QBankSearchAPI::execute()`. ``` ``` ### Retrieving properties (metadata) [](#retrieving-properties-metadata) QBank stores properties for every object that the user can set themselves. These are not included in the result by default, but has to be requested. #### The bad way [](#the-bad-way) An intuitive but bad way to conduct a search is to do a search and then iterate over the results and call `QBankObjectAPI::getObject()` for each result. This will return all information about these objects, but will generate alot of network traffic and overhead. Avoid this! #### The better way [](#the-better-way) To achieve the same result as in the bad way without causing a traffic jam on the network the `Search::setAdvancedObjects()` can be set to true. This will batch all the calls together. #### The smarter way [](#the-smarter-way) If there is only some properties that should be returned with the result, the class `PropertyRequest` should be used. ``` ``` Please note that this way will produce less information than the previous ones. One change is that a property's default value will be missing. Normally this is ok, but consider what you need and search accordingly. ### The search results [](#the-search-results) A search returns an object of the type `SearchResult`. This is a container of the `Object`s or `SimpleObject`s that a search will return. It would not be incorrect to see `SearchResult` as an array. It is possible to iterate over and access `SearchResult` as an array. ``` ``` ### Health Score 28 — LowBetter than 54% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity13 Limited adoption so far Community6 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity62 Established project with proven stability How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
