Provides authentication through Steam's OpenID and returns an object for the authenticated user.

I could not find a solution that met my needs, so I made my own, the goals I set for myself are as follows:

1. Generate a Login Button/URL using Steam's provided login button graphics.
2. Begin a session (optional) and return a user object on login.
3. Have the ability to refresh a user object by providing a steamid.

Getting Started - Composer
--------------------------

[](#getting-started---composer)

Add this to your `composer.json` file, in the require object:

```
"snipedragon/steamlink": "1.*"
```

After that, run `composer install` to install the package.

#### OR

[](#or)

```
composer require snipedragon/steamlink:1.*
```

Example
-------

[](#example)

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

$options = array(
    'apiKey' => 'YOUR-API-KEY-HERE', // Steam API KEY
    'domainName' => 'https://your-site.net', // Shown on the Steam Login page to your users.
    'loginRedirect' => 'https://your-site.net/index.php?page=SteamLink&action=Login', // Returns user to this page on login.
    'logoutRedirect' => 'https://your-site.net/index.php?page=SteamLink&action=Logout', // Returns user to this page on logout.
    'startSession' => false //true to start session, false to only validate and return a steam user object.
);

$steamlink = new SnipeDragon\SteamLink($options);

echo "Click on the following button to login and authenticate yourself through Steam:";
echo $steamlink->loginButton("rectangle"); //Can be "rectangle" or "square".
```
