### Installing via Composer

[](#installing-via-composer)

```
composer.phar require tjournal/reviewer
```

Next require Composer's autoloader:

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

### Simple usage

[](#simple-usage)

You should use external database to store already sent reviews. We advice Redis with [Predis](https://github.com/nrk/predis) library. Library should implement `sismember`, `sadd`, `exists` and `set` methods.

You need to [create new Incoming webhook](https://slack.com/services/new/incoming-webhook) in Slack and change `{APPID}` with [the real app id](https://www.codeproof.com/blog/how-to-find-aitunes-store-id-or-appid/):

```
try {
    $storage = new Predis\Client();

    $reviewer = new TJ\Reviewer({APPID});
    $reviewer->setStorage($storage);
    $reviewer->setSlackSettings(['endpoint' => 'https://hooks.slack.com/services/ABCDE/QWERTY', 'channel' => '#reviews']);
    $reviewer->start();
} catch (Exception $e) {
    // handle errors
}
```

Then add your script to crontab:

```
sudo crontab -e
*/15 * * * *  php crontab.php
```

### Monolog integration

[](#monolog-integration)

If you want to track internal library errors you can use [Monolog](https://github.com/Seldaek/monolog). Here is the easiest way:

```
use Monolog\Logger;
use Monolog\Handler\StreamHandler;

$monolog = new Logger('Reviewer');
$monolog->pushHandler(new StreamHandler('/tmp/reviewer.log', Logger::DEBUG));

$reviewer->setLogger($monolog);
```

### Countries

[](#countries)

There is a way to change set of countries from whence Reviewer is getting fresh app's reviews.

```
try {
    $reviewer = new TJ\Reviewer({APPID});
    ...
    $reviewer->countries = ['ru' => 'Russia', 'us' => 'US', 'fi' => 'Finland', 'fr' => 'France'];

    $reviewer->start();
} catch (Exception $e) {
    // handle errors
}
```
