A Laraval Package for use together with the php-tmdb/api TMDB Wrapper.
This package comes with a service provider that configures the Tmdb\Client and registers it to the IoC container.
Both Laravel 5 and 4 are supported.
Install Composer
$ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
$ sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
Add the following to your require block in composer.json config
"php-tmdb/laravel": "~1.0"
Add to your app/config/app.php (Laravel 4) or 'config/app.php' (Laravel 5) the service provider:
'providers' => array(
// other service providers
'Tmdb\Laravel\TmdbServiceProvider',
)Then publish the configuration file:
php artisan config:publish php-tmdb/laravel
php artisan vendor:publish --provider=php-tmdb/laravel
Next you can modify the generated configuration file tmdb.php accordingly.
That's all! Fire away!
We can choose to either use the Tmdb Facade, or to use dependency injection.
The example below shows how you can use the Tmdb facade.
If you don't want to keep adding the use Tmdb\Laravel\Facades\Tmdb; statement in your files, then you can also add the facade as an alias in config/app.php file.
use Tmdb\Laravel\Facades\Tmdb;
class MoviesController {
function show($id)
{
// returns information of a movie
return Tmdb::getMoviesApi()->getMovie($id);
}
}use Tmdb\Repository\MovieRepository;
class MoviesController {
private $movies;
function __construct(MovieRepository $movies)
{
$this->movies = $movies;
}
function index()
{
// returns information of a movie
return $this->movies->getPopular();
}
}We can easily listen to events that are dispatched using the Laravel event dispatcher that we're familiar with. The following example listens to any request that is made and logs a message.
use Log;
use Event;
use Tmdb\Event\TmdbEvents;
use Tmdb\Event\RequestEvent;
Event::listen(TmdbEvents::REQUEST, function(RequestEvent $event) {
Log::info("A request was made to TMDB");
// do stuff with $event
});In Laravel 5 instead of using the Event facade we could also have used the EventServiceProvider to register our event listener.
You can easily use the ImageHelper by using dependency injection. The following example shows how to show the poster image of the 20 most popular movies.
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Tmdb\Helper\ImageHelper;
use Tmdb\Repository\MovieRepository;
class WelcomeController extends Controller {
private $movies;
private $helper;
public function __construct(MovieRepository $movies, ImageHelper $helper)
{
$this->movies = $movies;
$this->helper = $helper;
}
/**
* Show the application welcome screen to the user.
*
* @return Response
*/
public function index()
{
$popular = $this->movies->getPopular();
foreach ($popular as $movie)
{
$image = $movie->getPosterImage();
echo ($this->helper->getHtml($image, 'w154', 260, 420));
}
}
}The Configuration used by the Tmdb\Helper\ImageHelper is automatically loaded by the IoC container.
If you are a Laravel 5.1 (currently not released) user you could also use the blade's new @inject functionality,
@inject('image', 'Tmdb\Helper\ImageHelper')
@foreach ($movies as $movie)
{!! $image->getHtml($movie->getPosterImage(), 'w154', 260, 420) !!}
@endforeach
Plugins can be registered in a service provider using the boot method.
namespace App\Providers;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
use Tmdb\HttpClient\Plugin\LanguageFilterPlugin;
class TmdbServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider {
/**
* Add a Dutch language filter to the Tmdb client
*
* @return void
*/
public function boot()
{
$plugin = new LanguageFilterPlugin('nl');
$client = $this->app->make('Tmdb\Client');
$client->getHttpClient()->addSubscriber($plugin);
}
}For all all other interactions take a look at php-tmdb/api.
