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

[](#installation)

```
composer require setono/client
```

If you don't use your own client id generation strategy, you should also install either the [symfony/uid](https://packagist.org/packages/symfony/uid) or the [ramsey/uuid](https://packagist.org/packages/ramsey/uuid) package:

```
# If you want to use symfony/uid
composer require symfony/uid

# If you want to use ramsey/uuid
composer require ramsey/uuid
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use Setono\Client\Client;

// initialization with a generated id and an empty metadata object
$client = new Client();

// initialization with your own id and existing metadata
$client = new Client('my-client-id', ['foo' => 'bar']);

// get the client id
$id = $client->id;

// set metadata
$client->metadata->set('foo', 'bar');

// set metadata that expires in 1 hour
$client->metadata->set('foo', 'bar', 3600);

// get metadata
$client->metadata->get('foo');

// remove metadata
$client->metadata->remove('foo');
```

There's also a `Cookie` class which can be used to store the client id in a cookie.
