Core Usage

Requests: https://docs.directus.io/api/reference.html#endpoints

use BoxyBird\Directus\Facades\Api;

// General API endpoint facade - 'PARAMS' and 'JWT' are optional
$request = Api::request('HTTP_METHOD', 'ENDPOINT', 'PARAMS', 'JWT');

// Examples
Api::request('GET', '/users');
Api::request('POST', '/items/posts', ['...params']);
Api::request('DELETE', '/server/projects/my_project');

// Reference: https://docs.directus.io/api/reference.html#endpoints

Authentication: https://docs.directus.io/api/authentication.html

Per Request:

<?php

use BoxyBird\Directus\Facades\Api;
use BoxyBird\Directus\Facades\Auth;

$auth = Auth::authenticate([
    'email'    => 'some-directus-user@gmail.com',
    'password' => '12345678'
]);

// Get token
$jwt = data_get($auth, 'data.token');

Api::request('GET', '/posts', ['...params'], $jwt);
Api::request('POST', '/items/posts', ['...params'], $jwt);
// etc...

Per session:

<?php

use BoxyBird\Directus\Facades\Api;
use BoxyBird\Directus\Facades\Auth;

Route::post('/login', function (Request $request) {
    $auth = Auth::authenticate([
        'email'    => $request->input('email'),
        'password' => $request->input('password'),
    ]);

    // Handle invalid credentials
    if (data_get($auth, 'error')) {
        abort(403);
    } 

    // Store in session
    $request->session()->put('current_user', $auth);
    
    return view('some-view');
});

Route::post('/posts', function (Request $request) {
    $current_user = $request->session()->get('current_user');

    $jwt = data_get($current_user, 'data.token');

    $created_post = Api::request('POST', '/items/posts', [
        'title'   => 'Hello, World.',
        'content' => 'Lorem, ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit!',
    ], $jwt);

    // ...
});

Globally:

In some apps you may only need to connect to Directus using a single user. So rather than passing a JWT as an argument on every request, you can use the BoxyBird\Directus\Facades\Directus helper facade.

Under the hood, each request will look to see if Directus::getJwt() is set.

<?php

use BoxyBird\Directus\Facades\Auth;
use BoxyBird\Directus\Facades\Directus;

$auth = Auth::authenticate([
    'email'    => 'some-directus-user@gmail.com',
    'password' => '12345678'
]);

// Get token or ''
$jwt = data_get($auth, 'data.token', '');

// Get user or []
$user = data_get($auth, 'data.user', []);

// Cache token globally with 15 min ttl
Directus::setJwt($jwt, 900);

// Cache user globally with 15 min ttl
Directus::setUser($user, 900);

// Cached jwt and user helpers
Directus::getJwt();
Directus::getUser();

// Reference: https://docs.directus.io/api/authentication.html#retrieve-a-temporary-access-token

---

// Attempt to refresh global token
$auth = Auth::refresh();

// Reference: https://docs.directus.io/api/authentication.html#refresh-a-temporary-access-token
