Soundcloud API Service Provider For Laravel 5

The package can be installed via Composer by requiring the "njasm/laravel5-soundcloud": "dev-master" package in your project's composer.json.

{
    "require": {
        "njasm/laravel5-soundcloud": "dev-master"
    },
    "minimum-stability": "dev"
}

Next you need to add the service provider to config/app.php.

'providers' => [
    // ...
    Njasm\Laravel\Soundcloud\SoundcloudProvider::class,
],

Additionally, if you wish to use the Facade, you may register an alias for it in config/app.php:

'aliases' => [
    // ...
    'Soundcloud' => Njasm\Laravel\Soundcloud\Facades\Soundcloud::class,
],

We've also got a dedicated config file, which can be published by running the following command:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Njasm\Laravel\Soundcloud\SoundcloudProvider"

Since you most-likely don't want your client_id, client_secret, username or password to be on your repository (for security concerns), put them in the .env file:

SOUNDCLOUD_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id
SOUNDCLOUD_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret
SOUNDCLOUD_CALLBACK_URL=your_callback_url
SOUNDCLOUD_USERNAME=your_username
SOUNDCLOUD_PASSWORD=your_password

and reference them in config/services.php as such:

// ...
'soundcloud' => [
    'client_id' => env('SOUNDCLOUD_CLIENT_ID'),
    'client_secret' => env('SOUNDCLOUD_CLIENT_SECRET'),
    'callback_url' => env('SOUNDCLOUD_CALLBACK_URL'),
],

The username and password are available through the dedicated config file.

You can access the Soundcloud object through a number of ways:

Using dependency injection

In this case, we'll make use of Laravel's IoC container to automatically resolve the binding:

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Njasm\Soundcloud\SoundcloudFacade;

class HomeController extends Controller
{
    public function index(SoundcloudFacade $soundcloud)
    {
        echo $soundcloud->getAuthUrl();
    }
}

Using the facade

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Soundcloud;

class HomeController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
        echo Soundcloud::getAuthUrl();
    }
}

Manually resolving the binding out of the container

You can either use the full namespace to the SoundcloudFacade to reference the binding in the IoC:

$soundcloud = $this->app->make(\Njasm\Soundcloud\SoundcloudFacade::class);
$soundcloud = App::make(\Njasm\Soundcloud\SoundcloudFacade::class);
$soundcloud = app(\Njasm\Soundcloud\SoundcloudFacade::class);

or use the shorthand alias:

$soundcloud = $this->app->make('Soundcloud');
$soundcloud = App::make('Soundcloud');
$soundcloud = app('Soundcloud');
