PHP Library for interacting with Mojang authentication servers.

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

[](#installation)

Using composer add it to your requirements section:

```
{
    "require-dev": {
        "publicuhc/php-yggdrasil": "dev-master"
    }
}

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

First you need to get hold of a `Yggdrasil` instance, the only choice right now is `DefaultYggdrasil`

```
$yggdrasil = new DefaultYddrasil();

```

You can also pass the username/clientToken/accessToken in the constructor if needed, or alternatively use the setter methods.

You can then use the Yggdrasil instance to query against the server:

```
//set the username
$yggdrasil->setUsername('joe@blogs.com');

//authenticate with the password, sets accessToken/clientToken on success
$yggdrasil->authenticate('joeisthebest');

$clientToken = $yggdrasil->getClientToken();
$accessToken = $yggdrasil->getAccessToken();

```

Error Checking
--------------

[](#error-checking)

All API functions can throw the following:

`APIRequestException`

Thrown when the mojang servers returned errors for the request, the short error can be found at $ex->getShortMessage(), the full message can get found at $ex->getMessage(), and the cause (if set) can be found at $ex->getCause()

`InvalidParameterException`

Thrown when an API method was called and certain parameters were not set yet. e.g.

```
//username not set yet
$yg = new DefaultYggdrasil();

//will throw InvalidParameterException due to username not being set
$yg->authenticate('xxx');

$yg->setUsername('yyy');

//will run correctly
$yg->authenticate('xxx');

```
