Usage

Helper

The Zendesk helper acts as a wrapper for an instance of the Zendesk\API\Client class. You can find all the methods available on this class in the zendesk/zendesk_api_client_php repository. All of the methods are available through the helper.

Examples

<?php
// Get all tickets
zendesk()->tickets()->findAll();

// Create a new ticket
zendesk()->tickets()->create([
  'subject' => 'Ticket subject',
  'comment' => [
      'body' => 'Test ticket content'
  ],
  'priority' => 'normal'
]);

// Update ticket status to urgent
zendesk()->tickets(123)->update([
  'status' => 'urgent'
]);

// Delete a ticket
zendesk()->tickets(123)->delete();

Dependency injection

<?php

use HomeDesignShops\Zendesk\ZendeskClient;

class TicketsClass {

    protected $zendeskClient;

    public function __construct(ZendeskClient $zendeskClient) {
        $this->zendeskClient = $zendeskClient;
    }

    public function addTicket() {
        $this->zendeskClient->tickets()->create([
              'subject' => 'Subject',
              'comment' => [
                    'body' => 'Ticket content.'
              ],
