Usage/Examples

Plain PHP

When using this package in plain PHP, a simple setup like this can help you get started:

  use Ronnie\TRA\Crawler;
  
  ...
  
  $crawler = new Crawler();
  // For URI or QR Scanned receipts you can use the URI method
  $receipt = $crawler->setUri($yourURI)->crawl();

  // For Physical receipt, Receipt verification code and the time is to be used in conjuction with the code method
  $receipt = $crawler->setCode($yourCode, $yourTime)->crawl();

Do note that the time ($yourTime) should be in hhMMss format (124453).

Laravel / Dependency Injection

When using this package in a Laravel/Symfony Project or any project that has a DI container, a better solution would be to use the container to inject an instance of the Ronnie\TRA\Crawler class into whatever class or method you need. A singleton works best for such scenarios.

It is also possible to extend the Ronnie\TRA\Crawler class or write your own implementation as long as they obey the Ronnie\TRA\Contracts\ResourceCrawler contract/interface.
