PHP-MPD-CLIENT
--------------

[](#php-mpd-client)

---

### What is it?

[](#what-is-it)

This is a simple php written [mpd](https://www.musicpd.org/) client library.

##### How to install

[](#how-to-install)

---

`composer require kolbasyatin/php-mpd-client`

##### How to use

[](#how-to-use)

---

###### Usage

[](#usage)

```
use Kolbasyatin\MPD\MPD\MPDClient;
use Kolbasyatin\MPD\MPD\MPDConnection;

$connection = new MPDConnection('localhost:6600', 'yourpassword');
$client = new MPDClient($connection);

$client->play(); // Send the command
$answer = $client->status(); // Get the result
```

The answer is array in example above.

---

You may add an answer with custom format by adding the object instance which implements `MPDAnswerInterface` to `MPDClient` constructor . There is one simple Answer yet.

```
use Kolbasyatin\MPD\MPD\MPDClient;
use Kolbasyatin\MPD\MPD\MPDConnection;
use Kolbasyatin\MPD\MPD\Answers\SimpleAnswer;

$connection = new MPDConnection('localhost:6600', 'yourpassword');
$answer = new SimpleAnswer();
$client = new MPDClient($connection, $answer);

$client->play();

/** @var SimpleAnswer $answer */
$answer = $client->status(); // $answer is instance of SimpleAnswer.
$answer->getAnswerAsRaw(); // You also can get a raw answer from a server.
$answer->getState(); // state
```

There are the methods list of SimpleAnswer:

```
 * Class SimpleAnswer
 * @method string getVolume()
 * @method string getRepeat()
 * @method string getRandom()
 * @method string getSingle()
 * @method string getConsume()
 * @method string getPlaylist()
 * @method string getPlayListLength()
 * @method string getState()
 * @method string getSong()
 * @method string getSongId()
 */

```

---

Since default socket timeout is long enough, it was changed to 2 sec, however you can to change timeout as you like.

```
use Kolbasyatin\MPD\MPD\MPDConnection;

$connection = new MPDConnection('localhost:6600', 'yourpassword');
$connection->setSocketTimeOut(1);
```

---

###### Errors

[](#errors)

When the error occurred, an `MPDClientException` will be thrown.

In case when SimpleAnswer was used, exception will not appear, and you may check the status in an answer object.

```
$answer->getStatus();
$answer->getError();

```

That it is.

##### Commands list

[](#commands-list)

---

[Here](https://www.musicpd.org/doc/html/protocol.html#command-lists) is commands list, or you can see them in MPDClient class.

##### Testing

[](#testing)

---

Before launch `phpunit` you must start docker container.

`docker-compose -f docker/mpd/docker-compose.yml up -d`
