Install
-------

[](#install)

Install library through composer:

```
composer require sokil/php-vast

```

Quick start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

```
// create document
$factory = new \Sokil\Vast\Factory();
$document = $factory->create('2.0');
// or, if you have at least PHP5.4
$document = (new \Sokil\Vast\Factory())->create('2.0');
// creating through Document::create and other factory methods are now deprecated:
$document = \Sokil\Vast\Document::create('2.0');

// insert Ad section
$ad1 = $document
    ->createInLineAdSection()
    ->setId('ad1')
    ->setAdSystem('Ad Server Name')
    ->setAdTitle('Ad Title')
    ->addImpression('http://ad.server.com/impression', 'imp1');

// create creative for ad section
$linearCreative = $ad1
    ->createLinearCreative()
    ->setDuration(128)
    ->setVideoClicksClickThrough('http://entertainmentserver.com/landing')
    ->addVideoClicksClickTracking('http://ad.server.com/videoclicks/clicktracking')
    ->addVideoClicksCustomClick('http://ad.server.com/videoclicks/customclick')
    ->addTrackingEvent('start', 'http://ad.server.com/trackingevent/start')
    ->addTrackingEvent('pause', 'http://ad.server.com/trackingevent/stop');

// add 100x100 media file
$linearCreative
    ->createMediaFile()
    ->setProgressiveDelivery()
    ->setType('video/mp4')
    ->setHeight(100)
    ->setWidth(100)
    ->setBitrate(2500)
    ->setUrl('http://server.com/media1.mp4');

// add 200x200 media file
$linearCreative
    ->createMediaFile()
    ->setProgressiveDelivery()
    ->setType('video/mp4')
    ->setHeight(200)
    ->setWidth(200)
    ->setBitrate(2500)
    ->setUrl('http://server.com/media2.mp4');

// get dom document
$domDocument = $document->toDomDocument();

// get XML string
echo $document;
```

This will generate:

```

            Ad Server Name
            Ad Title]]>
            http://ad.server.com/impression]]>

                        00:02:08

                            http://entertainmentserver.com/landing]]>
                            http://ad.server.com/videoclicks/clicktracking]]>
                            http://ad.server.com/videoclicks/customclick]]>

                            http://ad.server.com/trackingevent/start]]>
                            http://ad.server.com/trackingevent/stop]]>

                                http://server.com/media1.mp4]]>

                                http://server.com/media2.mp4]]>
