Installing SDK on windows Server with Integrated Development Enviroment(IDE)
These steps are dedicated to those who ❤️ to code on IDE.
Optional Note: This library will be sending HTTP calls to Pepipost server and hence if you're running any firewalls on your machine, then please whitelist the API base URL
api.pepipost.com
withport 443/80
The generated code has dependencies over external libraries like UniRest. These dependencies are defined in the composer.json
file that comes with the SDK.
To resolve these dependencies, we use the Composer package manager which requires PHP greater than 5.3.2 installed in your system.
Visit https://getcomposer.org/download/ to download the installer file for Composer and run it in your system.
Open command prompt and type composer --version
. This should display the current version of the Composer installed if the installation was successful.
- Using command line, navigate to the directory containing the generated files (including
composer.json
) for the SDK. - Run the command
composer install
. This should install all the required dependencies and create thevendor
directory in your project directory.
CURL used to include a list of accepted CAs, but no longer bundles ANY CA certs. So by default it will reject all SSL certificates as unverifiable. You will have to get your CA's cert and point curl at it. The steps are as follows:
- Download the certificate bundle (.pem file) from https://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html on to your system.
- Add curl.cainfo = "PATH_TO/cacert.pem" to your php.ini file located in your php installation. “PATH_TO” must be an absolute path containing the .pem file.
[curl]
; A default value for the CURLOPT_CAINFO option. This is required to be an
; absolute path.
;curl.cainfo =

Please Follow first 3 Steps of installation same as Windows without IDE

Install any IDE you Love to work with.
we will be using PHPstorm which is easily available on https://www.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/download/

The following section explains how to use the PepipostAPI library in a new project.
Click on Open
in PhpStorm to browse to your generated SDK directory and then click OK
.
Create a new directory by right clicking on the solution name as shown below:
Name the directory as "test"
Add a PHP file to this project
Name it "testSDK"
Depending on your project setup, you might need to include composer's autoloader in your PHP code to enable auto loading of classes.
require_once "../vendor/autoload.php";
It is important that the path inside require_once correctly points to the file autoload.php
inside the vendor directory created during dependency installations.
After this you can add code to initialize the client library and acquire the instance of a Controller class. Sample code to initialize the client library and using controller methods is given in the subsequent sections.
To run your project you must set the Interpreter for your project. Interpreter is the PHP engine installed on your computer.
Open Settings
from File
menu.
Select PHP
from within Languages & Frameworks
Browse for Interpreters near the Interpreter
option and choose your interpreter.
Once the interpreter is selected, click OK
To run your project, right click on your PHP file inside your Test project and click on Run
Unit tests in this SDK can be run using PHPUnit.
- First install the dependencies using composer including the
require-dev
dependencies. - Run
vendor\bin\phpunit --verbose
from commandline to execute tests. If you have installed PHPUnit globally, run tests usingphpunit --verbose
instead.
You can change the PHPUnit test configuration in the phpunit.xml
file.
