| 1 | +# Looker PHP SDK Advanced |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +API version: 3.1.0 |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +This package is an advanced version of generated [Looker PHP SDK](https://github.com/alexkart/looker-php-sdk). |
| 6 | +It adds additional functionality and simplifies the work with the Looker API. You can interact with the whole API |
| 7 | +that Looker provides with just one Looker object and don't worry about anything else. |
| 8 | +Currently, it provides the following additional functionality: |
| 9 | +- Provides a single wrapper object for various SDK classes |
| 10 | +- Automates authentication process |
| 11 | +- Automatically renews expired access tokens and stores them into the persistent storage |
| 12 | +- ... more will be added later |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +## Installation & Usage |
| 15 | +### Composer |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +``` |
| 18 | +composer require alexkart/looker-php-sdk-advanced |
| 19 | +``` |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +### Manual Installation |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +Download the files and include `autoload.php`: |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +```php |
| 26 | +require_once('/path/to/looker-php-sdk-advanced/vendor/autoload.php'); |
| 27 | +``` |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +## Getting Started |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +See usage examples in the [**examples**](examples) folder. |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +### Basic example |
| 35 | +In order to start interacting with the API you just need to instantiate Looker object and provide a |
| 36 | +config with the Looker host and valid credentials (API client id and API client secret): |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +```php |
| 39 | +$config = new \App\CustomLookerConfiguration( |
| 40 | + 'https://looker-host:19999/api/3.1', |
| 41 | + 'client-id', |
| 42 | + 'client-secret', |
| 43 | +); |
| 44 | +$looker = new \Alexkart\Looker\Looker($config); |
| 45 | +``` |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +Then you can call any API endpoint like this: |
| 48 | +```php |
| 49 | +$looks = $looker->lookApi->searchLooks(null, 'test'); |
| 50 | +$dashboards = $looker->dashboardApi->allDashboards(['title']); |
| 51 | +$folders = $looker->folderApi->allFolders(); |
| 52 | +``` |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +The complete working example you can find here [**basic.php**](examples/basic.php) |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +This is the simplest way to interact with the API, it will request a new access token each time the |
| 57 | +Looker object is instantiated. Alternatively you can provide an existing access token and it |
| 58 | +will be used to authenticate requests to the API. |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +```php |
| 61 | +$config = new \Alexkart\Looker\LookerConfiguration( |
| 62 | + 'https://looker-host:19999/api/3.1', |
| 63 | + '', |
| 64 | + '', |
| 65 | + 'access-token' |
| 66 | +); |
| 67 | +$looker = new \Alexkart\Looker\Looker($config); |
| 68 | +``` |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +You can provide both access token and API credentials: |
| 71 | +```php |
| 72 | +$config = new \Alexkart\Looker\LookerConfiguration( |
| 73 | + 'https://looker-host:19999/api/3.1', |
| 74 | + 'client-id', |
| 75 | + 'client-secret', |
| 76 | + 'optional-access-token' |
| 77 | +); |
| 78 | +$looker = new \Alexkart\Looker\Looker($config); |
| 79 | +``` |
| 80 | +The access token you provided will be used until it is valid and when it expires a new token will be |
| 81 | +requested automatically. You can check if the token has been renewed like this: |
| 82 | +```php |
| 83 | +if ($looker->getConfig()->isAccessTokenRenewed()) { |
| 84 | + $token = $looker->getConfig()->getAccessToken(); |
| 85 | +} |
| 86 | +``` |
| 87 | +If you want the access token to be stored into the persistent storage (database, cache, file, etc.) |
| 88 | +automatically when it is renewed you can extend `LookerConfiguration` class and provide implementation |
| 89 | +for the `storeAccessToken()` method and use this class to instantiate `Looker` object: |
| 90 | +```php |
| 91 | +class CustomLookerConfiguration extends \Alexkart\Looker\LookerConfiguration { |
| 92 | + public function storeAccessToken($accessToken): void { |
| 93 | + file_put_contents(__DIR__ . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'looker_access_token.txt', $accessToken); |
| 94 | + } |
| 95 | +} |
| 96 | +``` |
| 97 | +This method will be called when new access token is requested from the API. |
| 98 | +Additionally, you can implement `loadAccessToken()` method and it will be used to get the access token |
| 99 | +from your storage. You will just need to provide API credentials and it will handle the work with access |
| 100 | +tokens for you. |
| 101 | +```php |
| 102 | +class CustomLookerConfiguration extends \Alexkart\Looker\LookerConfiguration { |
| 103 | + public function storeAccessToken($accessToken): void { |
| 104 | + file_put_contents(__DIR__ . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'looker_access_token.txt', $accessToken); |
| 105 | + } |
| 106 | + public function loadAccessToken(): string { |
| 107 | + return (string)file_get_contents(__DIR__ . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'looker_access_token.txt'); |
| 108 | + } |
| 109 | +} |
| 110 | +``` |
| 111 | +The complete working example you can see here [**custom_configuration.php**](examples/custom_configuration.php) |
