Installation

Multiple ways are possible. You may include the client directly into your project using composer. You will need to have access to this repos. If you read this it may already be the case. So using composer update or composer require ldc/ldccrmv4client should be enough.

This has few dependencies it may not interfer with your project.

"ext-curl": "^7.3",
"php": "^7.3",
"guzzlehttp/guzzle": "^7.4",
"respect/validation": "^2.2"

Usage

As for initialisation multiple ways are possible. If you are in a laravel project you can map a singleton of the crm api.

Using Laravel

1. Setup config/crm.php

    <?php
   
    return [
        'endpoint' => 'https://ldc-crm.ldc.fr',
        'token' => 'YOUR_API_TOKEN',
        'password' => 'YOUR_API_PASSWORD'
    ];
   

2. Make a crm singleton if needed (optional)

    // In AppServiceProvider.php
    App::singleton('CrmApiV4', function () {
        return new CrmApiV4();
    });
   
    // You then like this.
    /** @var \LDC\LDCCRM\CrmApiV4 $crmApi */
    $crmApi = app('CrmApiV4);
   
    // Or directly use static methods.
    /** @var \LDC\LDCCRM\Models\Customer|null $customer */
    $customer = Customer::find('UUID');
   

Using any other project

Setup once the main class (it is already a singleton, no need to manage it).

Informations will be kept in memory as static meaning all instance of CrmApiV4 or any class (Customer, ..) will share the same informations as credentials.

$crmToken    = 'YOUR_API_TOKEN';
$crmPassword = 'YOUR_API_PASSWORD';

// This has to hapen once. It will be kept in memory;
new CrmApiV4('https://ldc-crm.ldc.fr', $crmToken, $crmPassword);

Using Wordpress

We created as experimental some wordpress classes. It will handle locale storage (in sql database) and sessions using start session. Some security is provided with a settion time out of 15 minutes. A fingerprint is set using the user agent and remote_ip. These cannot be trusted and it wont prevent a replay attack though. Usefull to point out that you make not use this without ssl (https) connection.

The usage is that same as for setting up for any other project, bu instead you can make usage of class in the LDC\LDCCRM\WordPress namespace.

Note: using methods from classes in this namespace will call php session_start if it has not started yet

// If true from here; user session is set and will be remembered until timeout or WPCRM::logout.
$status = WPCRM::login('customer@email.com', 'password');

Using custom implementation and calling directly CRM

You may implement your own call to fit your needs. If you wish to go this way please read these instructions.

• Using WordPress client
• Using normal client
• Writing your own implementation

Customer Informations

The CRM will store multiple informations about your customer. Of course you can contact us if there is a RGPD demand to access or suppress information. Also we store the following informations as for now :

• last connection
• password
• email
• first name
• last name
• birth date
• address
• phone
• country
• city
• postcode
• opt in status and history
• question answers

Password is stored as hashed using strong algorithm and a secret key, no logs are done while authenticating your customer other than the connection date if auth is successful

You may also note that every customer has a HASHCODE, this is the ID of your customer and has to be stored on your side. But even if you don't you can always identify your customers using it's email.

Minimal informations you may keep are :

• hashcode
• email

Change log

Please see the changelog for more information on what has changed recently.

Testing

All unit test are included in the crm source code, meaning you do not have access to them. If you wish you can override any source code, write your own test, but data will still be validated on crm side.
