PHP SDK Framework

A comprehensive PHP framework designed to simplify the process of building SDKs for third-party APIs. This framework provides a solid foundation with reusable components that make API integration faster, more reliable, and easier to maintain.

Key Features

🏗️ Clean Base Client Architecture

  • Abstract base client with common HTTP functionality
  • Built-in authentication handling
  • Request/response middleware support
  • Automatic error handling and retry logic

🔧 Resource Traits

  • Reusable traits for common API operations (CRUD, pagination, filtering)
  • Consistent method signatures across different resources
  • Automatic parameter validation and sanitization
  • Built-in caching support

📊 Data Object Mapping

  • Automatic JSON to PHP object conversion
  • Type-safe data access with IDE autocompletion
  • Validation and transformation pipelines
  • Support for nested objects and collections

🧪 Testing-First Design

  • Comprehensive test coverage with PHPUnit
  • Mock responses for integration testing
  • Factories for generating test data
  • Docker environment for consistent testing

Benefits

  • Rapid Development: Get your SDK up and running in minutes, not hours
  • Maintainable Code: Clean separation of concerns and consistent patterns
  • Type Safety: Full PHP 8+ type declarations and static analysis support
  • Extensible: Easy to customize and extend for specific API requirements
  • Production Ready: Battle-tested in production environments

Getting Started

<?php

use JustSteveKing\PhpSdk\SDK;
use JustSteveKing\PhpSdk\Resources\Users;

// Initialize your SDK
$api = new SDK(
    baseUrl: 'https://api.example.com',
    apiKey: 'your-api-key'
);

// Use resources to interact with endpoints
$users = $api->users()->all();
$user = $api->users()->find(123);
$newUser = $api->users()->create([
    'name' => 'John Doe',
    'email' => '[email protected]'
]);

Architecture

The framework follows a modular architecture that promotes code reuse and maintainability:

  • Client Layer: Handles HTTP communication and authentication
  • Resource Layer: Provides high-level methods for API endpoints
  • Data Layer: Manages object mapping and validation
  • Transport Layer: Handles request/response transformation

Use Cases

This framework is perfect for:

  • Building client libraries for REST APIs
  • Creating internal service wrappers
  • Standardizing API access across applications
  • Rapid prototyping of API integrations

Community

The PHP SDK framework is actively maintained and welcomes contributions from the community. Whether you’re fixing bugs, adding features, or improving documentation, your contributions help make this tool better for everyone.
