README

Databox integration for Laravel, with support for sending metrics and retrieving lists of availble metrics.

The data gets send in a single push request after the Laravel application has finished sending the response to avoid impacting the users. Pushing data can also be moved to the queue via a simple option in the config file

Example Usage

use \LaravelDataBox\Facades\DataBox;

// gets the default source
$source = DataBox::source();

// Push a new metric
$source->push(new Metric(
    key: 'sales', 
    value: 888.22, 
));

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require weble/laravel-databox

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="laravel-databox-config"

This is the contents of the published config file, with each option commented:

<?php

return [

    // name of the default source, used when not passing a specific source name
    'default_source' => 'default',

    // should the data be pushed with a queued job?
    // default setting, can be overridden per source
    'queue' => false,

    // List of sources, you can create as many as you want, each with its
    // own token and queue setting
    'sources' => [

        'default' => [

            // The token generated in the databox UI
            'token' => env('DATABOX_TOKEN', ''),

            // Each source can override the queue setting.
            // null means use the default setting above
            'queue' => null,
        ],
        
        // More sources....
    ],
];

Usage

You can interact with the DataBox APIs through the facade LaravelDataBox\Facades\DataBox

Push a single metric

use \LaravelDataBox\Facades\DataBox;

// gets the default source
$source = DataBox::source();

// Push a new metric
$source->push(new Metric(
    key: 'sales', // Adds automatically the $ sign if not present
    value: 888.22, // any float / int value
));

Push multiple metrics

use \LaravelDataBox\Facades\DataBox;

$source = DataBox::source();
$source->push([
    new Metric(
        key: 'sales',
        value: 888.22, 
    ),
    new Metric(
        key: 'sales', 
        value: 72,
    ),
]);

Full list of metric options

use \LaravelDataBox\Facades\DataBox;

$source = DataBox::source();
$source->push(new Metric(
    key: 'sales',
    value: 888.22, 
    date: now()->subDay(), // date of the metric event
    attributes: [ // Custom attributes for dimensions
        'channel' => 'sales'
    ],
    'unit' => 'EUR', // Unit of the value
));

Use a different source

use \LaravelDataBox\Facades\DataBox;

$source = DataBox::source('other_source');
$source->push(new Metric(
    key: 'sales',
    value: 888.22
));
