An unambitious read-only client for the SportsPress REST API (v2). This package is built on top of my Laravel WordPress API package, and provides an expressive, fluent, Laravel-esque way of querying the SportsPress API.

// Without the package 👎
Http::get('https://example.com/wp-json/sportspress/v2/players', [
    'search' => 'lebron',
    '_embed' => 1,
    'orderby' => 'date',
    'order' => 'desc'
    '_fields' => 'title',
]);


// Using the package 👌
SportsPress::players()
    ->search('lebron')
    ->embed()
    ->latest()
    ->get('title');

As well as the fluent query builder, you also benefit from a nicely formatted response, including pagination information.

// Without the package 👎
$response = Http::get('https://example.com/wp-json/sportspress/v2/players');
$data = $response->json();
$pages = $response->header('X-WP-TotalPages');
$total = $response->header('X-WP-Total');


// Using the package 👌
$players = SportsPress::players()->get();

// $posts
[
    'data' => [...],
    'meta' => [
        'pages' => 1,
        'total' => 10,
    ],
],

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require rickwest/laravel-sportspress-api

Then you need to add your WordPress url to your .env file:

WORDPRESS_URL=https://example.com

Usage

This package binds a singleton to the Laravel service container, so you can easily resolve the WordPress client directly from the container, or via dependency injection. Alternatively, the package also exposes both a Facade and a helper function should you prefer a shorter more expressive option.

The package has support for the following SportsPress resources: calendars, events, leagues, players, positions, roles, seasons, staff, teams, venues.

// Resolve service directly from container and access the Players API
app(SportsPress::class)->players();

// Resolve via Facade and access the Players API
SportsPress::players(); 

// Resolve service via helper and access the Players API
sportspress()->players();

// Supported resources
SportsPress::calendars() // Access the Calendars API
SportsPress::events() // Access the Events API
SportsPress::leagues() // Access the Leagues API
SportsPress::players() // Access the Players API
SportsPress::postitions() // Access the Positions API
SportsPress::roles() // Access the Roles API
SportsPress::seasons() // Access the Seasons API
SportsPress::staff() // Access the Staff API
SportsPress::teams() // Access the Teams API
SportsPress::venues() // Access the Venues API

// You can also access resources as properties
sportspress()->players

Retrieving resource

Call the find method on a resource class in order to get a single resource by ID:``

SportsPress::players()->find(1);

For more examples, detailed usage and a full list of available options, please see https://github.com/rickwest/laravel-wordpress-api#retrieve-a-single-resource

Retrieve a collection of resources

Call the get method on a resource to retrieve a collection of resources. The response you receive can be controlled and filtered using various parameters, https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/reference/. This package provides some fluent builder methods in order to easily and expressively build your desired query. Collection responses are then nicely formatted and include useful pagination information.

SportsPress::players()->get();

For more examples, detailed usage and a full list of available options, please see https://github.com/rickwest/laravel-wordpress-api#creating-updating-and-deleting-resources

Creating, updating and deleting resources

Whilst this package is primarily intended for reading data from the SportsPress API, it is possible to perform write operations using the send method on a resource class.

SportsPress::players()->send(string $method, int $id, array $options);

For more examples, detailed usage and a full list of available options, please see https://github.com/rickwest/laravel-wordpress-api#retrieve-a-collection-of-resources
