README

A professional PHP client library for integrating Proteus API functionality into Laravel applications (version 11.0 and above).

Overview

This package provides a comprehensive interface for interacting with the Proteus API, offering seamless integration with Laravel's service container architecture. The library includes a service class (Proteus), a dedicated Service Provider, and a Facade for simplified access to media management, metadata operations, category handling, and media transformation capabilities.

Installation

System Requirements

Ensure your development environment meets the following prerequisites before proceeding with the installation:

• PHP: Version 8.0 or higher
• Laravel Framework: Version 11.0 or 12.0
• Composer: Dependency management tool
• Proteus API Access: Valid API endpoint URL and authentication token

Step 1: Package Installation

Install the package via Composer by executing the following command in your Laravel project root directory:

composer require ometra/proteus-client

Step 2: Service Provider Registration

The ProteusServiceProvider will be automatically registered by Laravel's package auto-discovery mechanism, as configured in the package's composer.json manifest. Manual registration is not required under normal circumstances.

If auto-discovery has been disabled in your application, you may register the provider manually by adding it to the providers array in config/app.php:

'providers' => [
    // ...
    Ometra\Apollo\Proteus\Providers\ProteusServiceProvider::class,
],

Step 3: Configuration File Publishing

Publish the package configuration file to enable customization of API endpoints and authentication credentials:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=proteus-config

This command will generate a config/proteus.php file in your Laravel application's configuration directory, containing the package's default configuration values.

Configuration

Step 4: Environment Variables

Add the following environment variables to your application's .env file with the appropriate values for your Proteus API instance:

PROTEUS_URL=https://your-proteus-api.example.com
PROTEUS_TOKEN=your_authentication_token_here

Important: Replace the placeholder values with your actual credentials:

• PROTEUS_URL: Your Proteus API base URL endpoint
• PROTEUS_TOKEN: Your Bearer authentication token

Step 5: Configuration Verification (Optional)

The config/proteus.php file published in Step 3 contains the following configuration options:

• url: Base URL for the Proteus API (sourced from PROTEUS_URL environment variable)
• token: Bearer token for API authentication (sourced from PROTEUS_TOKEN environment variable)
• transformations: Available transformation presets for media processing operations
• formats: Supported output format specifications

You may customize these configuration options to meet your specific requirements by editing the config/proteus.php file directly.

Step 6: Configuration Cache Management

If your Laravel application has configuration caching enabled, clear the cache to ensure the new settings are loaded:

php artisan config:clear

The installation and configuration process is now complete. The Proteus client is ready for use in your Laravel application.

Usage

The Proteus client can be accessed through two primary methods: dependency injection or the Facade pattern.

Using the Facade

use Ometra\Apollo\Proteus\Facades\Proteus;

// Retrieve paginated media list
$media = Proteus::mediaIndex([
    'page' => 1,
    'per_page' => 20,
]);

// Retrieve specific media details
$item = Proteus::mediaShow('media-id');

Using Dependency Injection

use Ometra\Apollo\Proteus\Proteus;

class MediaController
{
    public function index(Proteus $proteus)
    {
        $media = $proteus->mediaIndex(['page' => 1]);

        return view('media.index', compact('media'));
    }
}

File Upload Operations

The uploadFile method facilitates the transmission of files and associated metadata to designated API endpoints:

use Ometra\Apollo\Proteus\Facades\Proteus;

$data = [
    'files' => [$request->file('file')], // UploadedFile[]
    'metadata' => [
        'title' => 'Mi archivo',
    ],
    'transformations' => [
        'thumbnail' => ['key' => 'thumb_preset'],
    ],
];

$response = Proteus::uploadFile('media/store', $data);

File Download Operations

To download media resources as a StreamedResponse:

use Ometra\Apollo\Proteus\Facades\Proteus;

return Proteus::mediaDownload('media-id', 'mp4');

Alternatively, media files can be persisted directly to the Laravel configured storage system:

use Ometra\Apollo\Proteus\Facades\Proteus;

Proteus::saveMediaLocal('media-id', 'mi-archivo.mp4');

Metadata and Category Management

Retrieve All Categories

$categories = Proteus::categoriesIndex();

Retrieve Metadata Definition by Key

$definition = Proteus::metadataKeys('genre');

Retrieve Possible Values for Metadata Key

$values = Proteus::metadataValuesFormKey('genre');

Advanced Configuration

The client provides methods to retrieve transformation and format configuration settings programmatically:

use Ometra\Apollo\Proteus\Facades\Proteus;

// Retrieve available transformation configurations
$transformations = Proteus::transformationsConfig();

// Retrieve supported format specifications
$formats = Proteus::formatsConfig();
