blua.blue PHP SDK

The goal of this package is to enable fast, secure and simple integration of your blua.blue content into own web domains. NOTE: this library also works for open-source installations of blua.blue

Installation

composer require blua-blue/blua-blue-php-sdk

Usage

require __DIR__ . 'vendor/autoload.php';

$client = new BluaBlue\Client('yourPublicKey', 'yourAPIkey');
try{
    $client->authenticate();
    $myArticles = $client->getOwnArticles();
    foreach ($myArticles as $article){
        echo $article->getName();
        echo $article->getContentHtml();
    }
} catch (Exception $e) {
 ...
}

Client Methods

Constructor

$bluaBlue = new Client($publicKey, $apiKey=null, $apiEndpoint = 'https://blua.blue')

getArticle($articleSlugOrID)

This method accepts either the unique ID or the unique article-slug of a particular article.

getOwnArticles()

Retrieves all owned articles regardless of publish-state

getArticlesByKeywords($keywords)

Comma-seperated or single keyword e.g.

$phpTutorials = getArticlesByKeywords('php,tutorial');

getCategories()

Retrieves a list of available categories

getImages()

Retrieves stored images

registerImage($pathOrBase64, $mode='external')

MODES: external | upload

Either registers external images for reference or accepts base64 encoded image strings. (all browser-native content-types, max 600kb)

createArticle($article)

Creates a new article. While you can pass in a simple array, we recommend using the wrapper:

$bluaBlue = new Client(getenv('publicKey'), getenv('apiKey'));
$newArticle = new \BluaBlue\Article();
$newArticle->setName('My awesome article');
$newArticle->setTeaser('What you always wanted to know about me');
$newArticle->setCategoryId('F7A3D7DFA54C11EB9242D83BBF2ADDD8');
$newArticle->setKeywords('biography');
$newArticle->addArticleContent([
    'sort'=>1, 
    'content_type'=>'markdown',
    'content'=>'## hi there'
    ])
//...
$bluaBlue->createArticle($newArticle);

updateArticle($article)

Similar to createArticle, but operates on an existing article

$bluaBlue = new Client(getenv('publicKey'), getenv('apiKey'));
$myArticle = $bluaBlue->getArticle('my-awesome-article')
$myArticle->addArticleContent([
    'sort'=>count($myArticle->getArticleContent())+1, 
    'content_type'=>'markdown',
    'content'=>'## chapter 2 ...'
    ]);
//...
$bluaBlue->updateArticle($myArticle);

Article Wrapper

The article wrapper can be constructed with an array:

new Article(['name'=>'How to set up x']) or empty new Article()

Either way, the wrapper has setters and getters for the following properties:

• $id (getter only)
• $name
• $slug (getter only)
• $teaser
• $image_id
• $author_user_id (setter will be overwritten by endpoint)
• $category_id
• $is_public
• $keywords
• $publish_date
• $insert_date (getter only)
• $update_date
• $delete_date
• $article_content
• $article_store

Example:

$new = new Article();
$new->setName('Title of my article');
echo $new->getName(); // prints 'Title of my article'

NOTE: you can let the endpoint determine certain values based on neoan3-db logik:

$article->setDeleteDate('.') will be translated to the current ("point") in time when the request is received. In other words, the SQL equivalent NOW()

Image Wrapper

The image wrapper can be constructed with an array:

new Image(['format'=>'image/png']) or empty new Image()

Either way, the wrapper has setters and getters for the following properties:

• id (getter only)
• path
• format
• inserterUserId (getter only)

Example:

$new = new Image();
$new->setPath('https://s3.aws.com/234.asdf');
echo $new->getPath(); // prints 'https://s3.aws.com/234.asdf'

Additional methods on Article and Image

toArray()

Exports object into assoc-array.

Additional method on Article

getContentHtml()

Exports a combined HTML-string from all contents

$article = $blueAblue->getArticle('best-article-I-wrote');
$allContent = $article->getContentHtml();
// equivalent to:
$allContent = '';
foreach($article->getArticleContent() as $content){
    $allContent .= $content['html'];
}
