Library of accessing IBM Cloud VCAP\_SERVICES environment variables.

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

[](#installation)

Installing [Composer](http://getcomposer.org) will be easier to manage dependencies for your application.

Run the Composer command to install the latest version of the Watson PHP SDK:

```
composer require mihui/php-vcap:dev-master
```

If the php-vcap is downloaded from GitHub already, run the update command:

```
composer update
```

Include `autoload.php` in your application:

```
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
```

Namespaces
----------

[](#namespaces)

For common use, one of the namespaces of `WatsonCredential` or `SimpleTokenProvider` can be optional, depends on how to invoke the Watson services, and you can reference the classes like so:

```
use ENV\VCAP;
```

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

[](#how-to-use)

Refer to the `env.json file` in this repository, it is the example of the VCAP\_SERVICES environment data from the IBM Cloud/Cloudfoundry, and it will be the env file for you to do the local development work on your machine, and you SHOULD NOT place the `env.json` file on the cloud. To do that, please add the `env.json` to your `.gitignore`. If you must have this file for other purpuses, please let me know I will add an option to change the file name.
