### Library

[](#library)

The library contains two main classes: `Whois\Client` and `Availability\Client` They require information about WHOIS servers and patterns to match available domains stored in `data/tld.json`.

#### Whois

[](#whois)

```
use Webas\Domain\Connection\ConnectionFactory;
use Webas\Domain\Data\DataLoader;
use Webas\Domain\Whois\Client;

$factory = new ConnectionFactory();
$dataLoader = new DataLoader();
$data = $dataLoader->load(__DIR__.'/data/tld.json');

$client = new Client($factory, $data);

echo $client->query($domainName);
```

#### Availability

[](#availability)

To check the availability of a domain name the `Availability\Client` requires an instance of `Whois\Client`.

```
use Webas\Domain\Connection\ConnectionFactory;
use Webas\Domain\Data\DataLoader;
use Webas\Domain\Whois\Client as WhoisClient;
use Webas\Domain\Availability\Client as AvailabilityClient;

$factory = new ConnectionFactory();
$dataLoader = new DataLoader();
$data = $dataLoader->load(__DIR__.'/data/tld.json');

$whoisClient = new WhoisClient($factory, $data);
$client = new AvailabilityClient($whoisClient, $data);

echo $client->isAvailable($domainName);
```
