Discourse SDK

Discourse is the 100% open source discussion platform built for the next decade of the Internet. Use it as a mailing list, discussion forum, long-form chat room, and more!

This SDK provides a synchronous and asynchronous REST client.

REST client

REST client is a simple endpoint abstraction of the Discourse's REST API (official documentation).

Usage

Get categories (anonymously)

Request categories without authentication. Use Promise callback to process request response.

Synchronous version

$discourse = new \PhALDan\Discourse\Discourse();
$rest = $discourse->rest('https://meta.discourse.org');
$response = $rest->category()->list();
$categories = json_decode($response->getBody()->getContents());
foreach ($categories->category_list->categories as $category) {
    print $category->name.PHP_EOL;
}

Asynchronous version

$discourse = new \PhALDan\Discourse\Discourse();
$rest = $discourse->restAsync('https://meta.discourse.org');
$rest->category()->list()->then(function(\Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface $response) {
    $categories = json_decode($response->getBody()->getContents());
    foreach ($categories->category_list->categories as $category) {
        print $category->name.PHP_EOL;
    }
}, function(\Exception $e) {
    print get_class($e).PHP_EOL;
    print $e->getMessage().PHP_EOL;
})->wait();
