Laravel MetaPack

MetaPack API wrapper for Laravel. This package provides a simple interface to Super (awesome) API. Organize MetaPack integration with expressive, clean PHP.

Requirements

PHP >= 8.0
Laravel >= 9.0

Installation

Laravel MetaPack uses composer to make installation a breeze.

Install via composer

composer require tapha/MetaPack

Register service provider Add the Laravel MetaPack service provider to your config/app.php file in the providers key

'providers' => [
    // ... other providers
    tapha\MetaPack\MetaPackServiceProvider::class,
]

MetaPack facade alias Then add the MetaPack facade to your aliases key: 'MetaPack' => tapha\MetaPack\Facades\MetaPack::class

Configuration

Configuration can be done via your .env file.

METAPACK_URL=https://api.sbx.metapack.com/
METAPACK_API_KEY=[YOUR API KEY]
METAPACK_API_SECRET=[YOUR API SECRET]
METAPACK_CARRIERS=[YOUR CARRIERS]

You may also publish the config file to config/MetaPack.pzhp for editing: php artisan vendor:publish --provider="tapha\MetaPack\MetaPackServiceProvider"

Usage

Laravel MetaPack is incredibly intuitive to use.

Introduction

Already configured everything and just want to see it in action? Take a look at the example code below.

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use MetaPack;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;

class MetaPackController extends Controller
{
    public function getConsignment(int $consignmentId)
    {
        return response()->json(MetaPack::consignment()->get($consignmentId));
    }
}

Query Building

The wrapper also provides a convenient way for you to build fairly elaborate MetaPack API requests. The following methods return the instance so you can chain more constraints onto the request as required.

Handling Exceptions

The MetaPack API will return errors as required. I am still looking for a nicer way to handle these exceptions... For the time being, simply wrap your call in a try/catch block.

try {
    
    MetaPack::event()->publish(1234);
    
} catch(MetaPackErrorException $e) {
    $response = $e->getResponse();
    $responseBodyAsString = $response->getBody()->getContents();
    echo $responseBodyAsString;
}

The MetaPack API is extensive. I've attempted to cover all of the key areas but there are areas that are currently unimplemented.
