Laravel GitHub
Laravel GitHub was created by, and is maintained by Graham Campbell, and is a PHP GitHub API bridge for Laravel. It utilises my Laravel Manager package. Feel free to check out the change log, releases, security policy, license, code of conduct, and contribution guidelines.
Installation
Laravel GitHub requires PHP 7.2-8.0. This particular version supports Laravel 6-8.

To get the latest version, simply require the project using Composer. You will need to install any packages that "provide" psr/http-client-implementation and psr/http-factory-implementation. Most users will want:
$ composer require "graham-campbell/github:^10.1" "guzzlehttp/guzzle:^7.2" "http-interop/http-factory-guzzle:^1.0"
If you'd like to use the private key authenticator, then you will also need to install lcobucci/jwt:
$ composer require lcobucci/jwt:^3.4
or:
$ composer require lcobucci/jwt:^4.0
Once installed, if you are not using automatic package discovery, then you need to register the GrahamCampbell\GitHub\GitHubServiceProvider service provider in your config/app.php.
You can also optionally alias our facade:
'GitHub' => GrahamCampbell\GitHub\Facades\GitHub::class,
Configuration
Laravel GitHub requires connection configuration.
To get started, you'll need to publish all vendor assets:
$ php artisan vendor:publish
This will create a config/github.php file in your app that you can modify to set your configuration. Also, make sure you check for changes to the original config file in this package between releases.
There are two config options:
Default Connection Name
This option ('default') is where you may specify which of the connections below you wish to use as your default connection for all work. Of course, you may use many connections at once using the manager class. The default value for this setting is 'main'.
GitHub Connections
This option ('connections') is where each of the connections are setup for your application. Example configuration has been included, but you may add as many connections as you would like. Note that the 5 supported authentication methods are: "application", "jwt", "none", "private", and "token".
HTTP Cache
This option ('cache') is where each of the cache configurations setup for your application. Only the "illuminate" driver is provided out of the box. Example configuration has been included.
Usage
GitHubManager
This is the class of most interest. It is bound to the ioc container as 'github' and can be accessed using the Facades\GitHub facade. This class implements the ManagerInterface by extending AbstractManager. The interface and abstract class are both part of my Laravel Manager package, so you may want to go and checkout the docs for how to use the manager class over at that repo. Note that the connection class returned will always be an instance of Github\Client.
Facades\GitHub
This facade will dynamically pass static method calls to the 'github' object in the ioc container which by default is the GitHubManager class.
GitHubServiceProvider
This class contains no public methods of interest. This class should be added to the providers array in config/app.php. This class will setup ioc bindings.
Real Examples
Here you can see an example of just how simple this package is to use. Out of the box, the default adapter is main. After you enter your authentication details in the config file, it will just work:
use GrahamCampbell\GitHub\Facades\GitHub;
// you can alias this in config/app.php if you like
GitHub::me()->organizations();
// we're done here - how easy was that, it just works!
GitHub::repo()->show('GrahamCampbell', 'Laravel-GitHub');
// this example is simple, and there are far more methods available
The github manager will behave like it is a Github\Client class. If you want to call specific connections, you can do with the connection method:
use GrahamCampbell\GitHub\Facades\GitHub;
// the alternative connection is the other example provided in the default config
GitHub::connection('alternative')->me()->emails()->add('[email protected]');
// now we can see the new email address in the list of all the user's emails
GitHub::connection('alternative')->me()->emails()->all();
With that in mind, note that:
use GrahamCampbell\GitHub\Facades\GitHub;
// writing this:
GitHub::connection('main')->issues()->show('GrahamCampbell', 'Laravel-GitHub', 2);
// is identical to writing this:
GitHub::issues()->show('GrahamCampbell', 'Laravel-GitHub', 2);
// and is also identical to writing this:
GitHub::connection()->issues()->show('GrahamCampbell', 'Laravel-GitHub', 2);
// this is because the main connection is configured to be the default
GitHub::getDefaultConnection(); // this will return main
// we can change the default connection
GitHub::setDefaultConnection('alternative'); // the default is now alternative
If you prefer to use dependency injection over facades like me, then you can easily inject the manager like so:
use GrahamCampbell\GitHub\GitHubManager;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\App; // you probably have this aliased already
class Foo
{
protected $github;
public function __construct(GitHubManager $github)
{
$this->github = $github;
}
public function bar()
{
$this->github->issues()->show('GrahamCampbell', 'Laravel-GitHub', 2);
}
}
App::make('Foo')->bar();
For more information on how to use the Github\Client class we are calling behind the scenes here, check out the docs at https://github.com/KnpLabs/php-github-api/tree/v3.1.0/doc, and the manager class at https://github.com/GrahamCampbell/Laravel-Manager#usage.
Further Information
There are other classes in this package that are not documented here. This is because they are not intended for public use and are used internally by this package.
