MOST Web Framework PHP Client Library

Usage

If you don't have a MOST Web Framework application clone MOST Web Framework OMS Demo application and follow the installation instructions.

Create a new PHP project and use MOST Web Framework PHP Client to communicate with this application.

Authentication

Use basic authentication:

context->authenticate("alexis.rees@example.com","user");

Use cookie based authentication:

//get cookie from request
context.getService().setCookie($response->getCookies());

ClientDataContext Class

model(name)

Gets an instance of ClientDataModel class based on the given name.

$result = $context->model("Order")
    ->where("orderStatus")->equal(1)
    ->getItems();
var_dump($result);

getService()

Gets the instance of ClientDataService associated with this data context.

print $context->getService()->getBase();

setService(service)

Associates the given ClientDataService instance with this data context.

$context->setService(new MyDataService("http://data.example.com"));

ClientDataModel Class

getName()

Gets a string which represents the name of this data model.

getService()

Gets the instance of ClientDataService associated with this data model.

remove(obj)
