README

PHP client for the RestFull ConnectWise APIs. This package used to be based on the SOAP APIs & had 3 separate repositories, but as of this version there is only this one.

We solely use Laravel for our applications, so there is some Laravel specific files that you can use if you are using this client in a Laravel application. We have tried to make sure that you can use the client outside of Laravel, and have some documentation about it below.

Note about the integration

We are using the "Member Impersonation" model where you setup an integrator username & password with access to the "Member API", which makes all calls to ConnectWise performed under the permission of the user (member id) of the application.

We make all of our ConnectWise users' member ID equal to their email (i.e. joe.doe@spinen.com has a member ID of joedoe in connectwise) [NOTE: The "." was removed from joe.doe as ConnectWise does not allow dots in the member ID]. By following this convention, we can infer the member ID from the logged in user's email address in our applications. We have included a trait that you can use on the User model that will preform the logic above.

Laravel Configuration and Usage

Configuration

1. Add the following to config/services.php...

    'connectwise' =>  [
        'company_id' => env('CW_COMPANY_ID'),
        'integrator' => env('CW_INTEGRATOR'),
        'password' => env('CW_PASSWORD'),
        'url' => env('CW_URL'),
    ],

1. Add the appropriate values to your .env...

CW_COMPANY_ID=<company_id>
CW_INTEGRATOR=<integrator username>
CW_PASSWORD=<integrator password>
CW_URL=https://<FQDN to ConnectWise server>

1. Add the provider to config/app.php

'providers' => [
    # other providers omitted
    Spinen\ConnectWise\Laravel\ServiceProvider::class,
],

1. [Optional] Add the alias to config/app.php

'aliases' => [
    # other aliases omitted
    'ConnectWise' => Spinen\ConnectWise\Laravel\Facades\ConnectWise::class,
],

1. Use the ConnectWiseMemberIdFromEmail trait on the User model, which is located at Spinen\ConnectWise\Laravel\ConnectWiseMemberIdFromEmail, if your ConnectWise member_id is a match to your email as described above. If you do not follow that convention, then you can define your own getConnectWiseMemberIdAttribute accessor on the User model or just add a connect_wise_member_id column to your user table that you populate with the appropriate values.

Usage

Here is an example of getting the system information...

As of version 3.1.0, the response is either a Laravel collection of models or a single model. You can see the models in src/Models. They all extend Spinen\ConnectWise\Support, so you can see the methods that they provide.

Non-Laravel Usage

To use the client outside of Laravel, you just need to new-up the objects...

$ php -a
Interactive shell

php > // Autoload classes
php > require 'vendor/autoload.php';
php > // New-up objects
php > $token = new Spinen\ConnectWise\Api\Token();
php > $guzzle = new GuzzleHttp\Client();
php > $resolver = new Spinen\ConnectWise\Support\ModelResolver();
php > $client = new Spinen\ConnectWise\Api\Client($token, $guzzle, $resolver);
php > // Now set your configs
php > $token->setCompanyId('<company_id>')->setMemberId('<member_id>');
php > $client->setIntegrator('<integrator>')->setPassword('<password>')->setUrl('https://<domain.tld>');
php > $info = $client->get('system/info');
php > var_export($info, false);
Spinen\ConnectWise\Models\System\Info::__set_state(array(
   'casts' =>
  array (
    'version' => 'string',
    'isCloud' => 'boolean',
    'serverTimeZone' => 'string',
  ),
   'attributes' =>
  array (
    'version' => 'v2016.6.43325',
    'isCloud' => false,
    'serverTimeZone' => 'Eastern Standard Time',
  ),
))
php > var_export($info->toArray(), false);
array (
  'version' => 'v2016.6.43325',
  'isCloud' => false,
  'serverTimeZone' => 'Eastern Standard Time',
)
php > var_export($info->tojson(), false);
'{"version":"v2016.6.43325","isCloud":false,"serverTimeZone":"Eastern Standard Time"}'
php > var_export($info->isCloud, false);
false
php > var_export($info['isCloud'], false);
false
