PHP library for the [Spark.io API](http://docs.spark.io/#/api).

Makes it incredibly easy to get up and running using the default Tinker firmware or any custom function/variable that is exposed by your core firmware. You can also use the library to access/generate tokens and flash firmware to your core.

More detailed examples will follow shortly but basic operations may be found in the examples directory.

### Turning on a LED using default tinker firmware

[](#turning-on-a-led-using-default-tinker-firmware)

```
$core = SparkCore::make($accessToken);
$core->setPin('D7');
$core->setValue('HIGH');
$core->digitalWrite(); //Will turn on the inbuilt LED

```

### Installing via Composer

[](#installing-via-composer)

The recommended way to install the library is through [Composer](http://getcomposer.org).

```
# Install Composer
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

# Add Spark as a dependency
php composer.phar require wensleydale/spark:dev-master
```

After installing, you need to require Composer's autoloader:

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

### Managing Tokens

[](#managing-tokens)

You may list all your tokens, generate a token or delete a token

```
$tokenInstance = SparkCore::token();
$tokenInstance->setUsername('your_spark_username');
$tokenInstance->setPassword('your_spark_password');
$listTokens = $tokenInstance->listTokens();

```

### Exceptions

[](#exceptions)

If there are any issues during the API request a SparkException or SparkTokenException will be thrown which can be caught and managed according to your application needs.

### Unit Tests

[](#unit-tests)

This library uses PHPUnit for unit testing. In order to run the unit tests, you'll first need to install the dependencies of the project using Composer: `php composer.phar install --dev`. You can then run the tests using `vendor/bin/phpunit`. The library comes with a set of mocked responses from the Spark API
