Connection/Client() usage example

There are two supported methods for credential handling in this SDK. The ENV method, and the dependency injection method. Both are shown below.

The ENV Method (recommended)

Copy the file .env.default to .env, and update as needed.

In your code include the Vlucas/phpdotenv package using composer, or another installation method provided by the package. (Composer recommended)

In your code you would use this package to load the contents of the .env file like so:

require_once('vendor/autoload.php');

use Beachcasts\Airtable\AirtableClient;
use Beachcasts\Airtable\Config;

Dotenv\Dotenv::createImmutable(__DIR__)->load();

$airtableClient = new AirtableClient(Config::fromEnvironment(), <your_baseid>);

$table = $airtableClient->getTable(<your_table_name>);

Then, you can continue using the Table object as desired for CRUD+L actions.

The Dependency Injection Method

Using this method is done by calling a different method in the Config, as it is being instantiated. Example:

require_once('vendor/autoload.php');

use Beachcasts\Airtable\AirtableClient;
use Beachcasts\Airtable\Config;

$airtableClient = new AirtableClient(
    Config::fromValues(
        string $baseUrl,
        string $version,
        string $apiKey
    ),
    <your_baseid>
);

$table = $airtableClient->getTable(<your_table_name>);

Then, you can continue using the Table object as desired for CRUD+L actions.

Next Steps

After handling connection with the AirtableClient, you are ready to use the SDK to handle any CRUD+L actions. Please refer to the sidebar for navigation, as desired.
