Forte client library written in PHP for version 3 of the REST API
Run the following command to include this library within your project
composer require rentpost/forte-payments-php
You'll first want to create a configuration file that defines your environments and their respective configuration settings. As an example, we're showing a Symfony service container config. However, this is just passing an array in the following format:
[
'environments' => [
'sandbox' => [
'access_id' => 'xxxxxxxx',
'secure_key' => 'xxxxxxxx',
...
],
'live' => [
'access_id' => 'xxxxxxxx',
'secure_key' => 'xxxxxxxx',
...
],
],
]
It's important to note that Forte's sandbox is quite limited for many resources. Therefore, it's possible to override which environment is used for certain "sub resources" (API resources/endpoints)
An example Symfony service container yaml configuration for a development environment, using a "livetest" environemnt with specific sub resource overrides.
parameters:
forte_api_client_settings:
environments:
sandbox:
access_id: "%forte_api_default_access_id%"
secure_key: "%forte_api_default_secure_key%"
authenticating_organization_id: "%forte_api_default_authenticating_organization_id%"
sandbox: "%forte_api_default_sandbox%"
base_uri: ~
debug: false
livetest:
access_id: "%forte_api_livetest_access_id%"
secure_key: "%forte_api_livetest_secure_key%"
authenticating_organization_id: "%forte_api_livetest_authenticating_organization_id%"
sandbox: "%forte_api_livetest_sandbox%"
base_uri: ~
debug: false
A simple Symfony service container configuration for a production environemtn without any necessary overrides.
parameters:
forte_api_client_settings:
environments:
live:
access_id: "%forte_api_default_access_id%"
secure_key: "%forte_api_default_secure_key%"
authenticating_organization_id: "%forte_api_default_authenticating_organization_id%"
sandbox: "%forte_api_default_sandbox%"
base_uri: ~
debug: false
Here is an example credit card 'sale' transaction.
We first create a dummy logger. Feel free to use any PSR compliant logger. This is used when debugging is enabled in the configuration. Otherwise, all Exceptions will surface and must be caught.
use Psr\Log\LoggerInterface;
namespace Acme\File;
class Logger implements LoggerInterface
{
public function log($level, $message, array $context = []) {
// Handle logging
}
// Other interface methods
}
To use, you'll want to call the Rentpost\ForteApi\Client\Factory::make
method which will give you
a Rentpost\ForteApi\Client\ForteClient
object. The ForteClient
object provides access to all
"sub resources" (Forte API endpoint/resources).
The library makes use of Model
and Attribute
objects which assist with validation and
serialization. Any complex values will make use of an Attribute
. A Model
is an object
representation of a Forte API resource and all required and optional parameters.
use Acme\File\Logger as FileLogger;
use Rentpost\ForteApi\Attribute;
use Rentpost\ForteApi\Client\Factory as ForteApiClientFactory;
use Rentpost\ForteApi\Exception\Request\AbstractRequestException;
use Rentpost\ForteApi\Model;
// The first parameter is our settings array. See the "Configuration" section
$settings = [
'environments' => [
'sandbox' => [
'access_id' => 'xxxxxxxx',
'secure_key' => 'xxxxxxxx',
...
],
'live' => [
'access_id' => 'xxxxxxxx',
'secure_key' => 'xxxxxxxx',
...
]
],
];
$forteClient = new ForteApiClientFactory::make($settings, new FileLogger());
$organizationId = new Attribute\Id\OrganizationId('org_123456');
$locationId = new Attribute\Id\LocationId('loc_123456');
$card = new Model\Card();
$card->setCardType('visa')
->setNameOnCard('John Doe')
->setAccountNumber('1234567890')
->setExpireMonth('01')
->setExpireYear('2019')
->setCardVerificationValue('123');
$address = new Model\PhysicalAddress();
->setStreetLine1('123 Foo St.')
->setStreetLine2('Apt. 123')
->setLocality('New York') // City/town/village
->setRegion('NY') // State or province
->setPostalCode(new Attribute\PostalCode('12345'));
$transaction = new Model\Transaction();
$transaction->setAction('sale')
->setCard($card) // Or setEcheck for ACH
->setBillingAddress($address)
->setOrderNumber('PO-12345')
->setAuthorizationAmount(new Attribute\Money('100.00'))
->setCustomerIpAddress(new Attribute\IpAddress('192.168.0.1'));
try {
$forteClient->useTransactions()->create(
$organizationId,
$locationId,
$transaction
);
} catch (AbstractRequestException $e) {
$logger->log($e->getModel()->getResponse()->getResponseDesc());
throw $e;
}
This library makes use of make
recipes to execute all necessary commands. To view a list of
recipes just execute make
.
Running tests against Forte's sandbox environment will not return back any meaningful results for many resources. Therefore, an additional "livetest" account is needed for running various tests. This is a real account. You could use a production account in place of this (not advised). But be aware that, in either case, real money will be moved if used for transaction endpoints. Forte can setup a "livetest" account for you if needed with very low transaction limits to prevent mistakes.
The following dev composer packages are required for automated testing.
- "phpunit/phpunit" (version 7.0+)
- "vladahejda/phpunit-assert-exception" for
assertException
and related trait
PHPUnit is used for both unit tests, and integration test (Testing actual API calls to Forte)
The integration tests require some settings. This is done via the test/settings.php
file. See test/settings.php.dist
as an example.
Before running tests, you'll need to be sure the project is initialized and vendor packages are
installed via Composer
. To do so, run make init
first. Then you can run tests as follows:
make test
Please feel free to raise an issue against this repository if you have any questions or problems
There are still a few "sub resource" classes (read: Forte endpoints/resources)that haven't been completed/aren't supported yet. This is simply because we aren't using these. Feel free to submit these as a pull request, or issue ticket if necessary.
