This package simplifies the consumption of the Directus Headless CMS REST API within Laravel applications.

If you're seeking an API Wrapper for Directus without using Laravel, please refer to [nikba/directus-api](https://github.com/Nikba-Creative-Studio/directus-api).

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

[](#installation)

The recommended method for installing Directus-API is via [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/).

```
composer require nikba/directus-api-laravel
```

In Laravel, update the `config/app.php` providers array with the Service Provider:

```
Nikba\Directus\Laravel\DirectusServiceProvider::class,
```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

By default, the package is configured to use the following values from your `.env` file:

- `DIRECTUS_URL` - The base URL of your Directus instance.
- `DIRECTUS_PROJECT` - The Directus project you wish to use.

### Authentication

[](#authentication)

You can provide authentication through:

1. `DIRECTUS_API_KEY` - The key generated by Directus associated with a user.

or

2. `DIRECTUS_USERNAME` - The Directus username. `DIRECTUS_PASSWORD` - The password for your Directus user.

If none of these authentication options are provided, guest access will be used.

### Laravel Configuration File

[](#laravel-configuration-file)

If you prefer using a configuration file, you can publish the default config by running this command:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Nikba\Directus\Laravel\DirectusServiceProvider"
```

This will create a config file at `config/directus.php`.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

To use the API Wrapper, you can either use dependency injection to resolve it:

```
public function __construct(Directus $directus)
{
    $this->api = $directus;
}
```

Or use the helper function:

```
directus() // or directus('connection')
```

Understanding the API
---------------------

[](#understanding-the-api)

For a more in-depth understanding of how the API works, please refer to [nikba/directus-api](https://github.com/Nikba-Creative-Studio/directus-api/).
