This directory contains examples demonstrating how to use the Kinde PHP SDK with different frameworks and scenarios.

Quick Start

Prerequisites

1. Install Dependencies

   composer install

2. Set Environment Variables Create a .env file in the root directory or set environment variables:

   export KINDE_DOMAIN="https://your-domain.kinde.com"
   export KINDE_CLIENT_ID="your_client_id"
   export KINDE_CLIENT_SECRET="your_client_secret"
   export KINDE_REDIRECT_URI="http://localhost:8000/auth/callback"
   export KINDE_GRANT_TYPE="authorization_code"
   export KINDE_LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URI="http://localhost:8000"
   export KINDE_SCOPES="openid profile email offline"
   export KINDE_PROTOCOL="https"

Available Examples

1. Management Client Example (Standalone)

File: management_client_example.php

Description: Demonstrates server-to-server operations using the KindeManagementClient.

Run it:

cd kinde-php-sdk
php playground/management_client_example.php

What it does:

• Creates a management client
• Lists users, organizations, applications, feature flags, roles, and permissions
• Shows error handling for API calls

2. Framework Examples

Each framework example includes a complete controller/application that demonstrates:

• OAuth client initialization
• Login/logout flows
• User authentication
• Portal redirection
• Error handling

Laravel Example

File: laravel/ExampleController.php

Description: Complete Laravel controller with all authentication endpoints.

To use in Laravel:

1. Copy the controller to your Laravel app's app/Http/Controllers/ directory
2. Add routes to routes/web.php:

   Route::get('/auth/login', [KindeAuthController::class, 'login']);
   Route::get('/auth/callback', [KindeAuthController::class, 'callback']);
   Route::get('/auth/logout', [KindeAuthController::class, 'logout']);
   Route::get('/auth/register', [KindeAuthController::class, 'register']);
   Route::get('/auth/create-org', [KindeAuthController::class, 'createOrg']);
   Route::get('/user/info', [KindeAuthController::class, 'userInfo']);
   Route::get('/portal', [KindeAuthController::class, 'portal']);

Symfony Example

File: symfony/ExampleController.php

Description: Complete Symfony controller with authentication endpoints.

To use in Symfony:

1. Copy the controller to your Symfony app's src/Controller/ directory
2. Add routes to config/routes.yaml or use annotations
3. Install the Kinde SDK: composer require kinde/kinde-php-sdk

CodeIgniter Example

File: codeigniter/ExampleController.php

Description: Complete CodeIgniter controller with authentication endpoints.

To use in CodeIgniter:

1. Copy the controller to your CodeIgniter app's app/Controllers/ directory
2. Add routes to app/Config/Routes.php
3. Install the Kinde SDK: composer require kinde/kinde-php-sdk

Running Examples

Option 1: Standalone Management Client

# Set environment variables
export KINDE_DOMAIN="https://your-domain.kinde.com"
export KINDE_CLIENT_ID="your_client_id"
export KINDE_CLIENT_SECRET="your_client_secret"

# Run the example
php examples/management_client_example.php

Option 2: Framework Examples

Each framework example can be integrated into its respective framework application. The examples show:

• OAuth Client Setup: How to initialize the KindeClientSDK
• Authentication Flows: Login, logout, registration, and organization creation
• User Management: Getting user information and handling authentication states
• Portal Integration: Redirecting users to Kinde's user portal
• Error Handling: Proper exception handling for OAuth and API errors

Environment Variables

All examples use these environment variables:

Variable	Description	Required
KINDE_DOMAIN	Your Kinde domain	Yes
KINDE_CLIENT_ID	Your application client ID	Yes
KINDE_CLIENT_SECRET	Your application client secret	Yes
KINDE_REDIRECT_URI	OAuth redirect URI	Yes
KINDE_GRANT_TYPE	OAuth grant type (default: authorization_code)	No
KINDE_LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URI	Logout redirect URI	No
KINDE_SCOPES	OAuth scopes (default: openid profile email offline)	No
KINDE_PROTOCOL	Protocol for API calls (default: https)	No

Testing Examples

You can test the examples by:

1. Management Client: Run directly with proper environment variables
2. Framework Examples: Integrate into your framework application and test the endpoints

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. "Class not found" errors: Make sure you've run composer install
2. Authentication errors: Verify your environment variables are set correctly
3. Redirect URI mismatch: Ensure your redirect URI matches what's configured in Kinde
4. CORS issues: Make sure your domain is allowed in Kinde settings

Debug Mode

To enable debug output, set:

export KINDE_DEBUG=true

Next Steps

After running the examples:

1. Customize: Modify the examples to fit your application's needs
2. Security: Implement proper session management and CSRF protection
3. Error Handling: Add more robust error handling for production use
4. Testing: Write tests for your authentication flows
