Controller Example

Here is an example of how to use SkillsDatabaseApiService within a Laravel controller:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use GuzzleHttp\Exception\GuzzleException;
use SharpAPI\SkillsDatabaseApi\SkillsDatabaseApiService;

class SkillsController extends Controller
{
    protected SkillsDatabaseApiService $skillsService;

    public function __construct(SkillsDatabaseApiService $skillsService)
    {
        $this->skillsService = $skillsService;
    }

    /**
     * @throws GuzzleException
     */
    public function searchSkills(string $query)
    {
        $results = $this->skillsService->searchSkills($query);
        
        return response()->json($results);
    }

    /**
     * @throws GuzzleException
     */
    public function getSkillDetails(string $skillId)
    {
        $skill = $this->skillsService->getSkillById($skillId);
        
        return response()->json($skill);
    }
}

Handling Guzzle Exceptions

All requests are managed by Guzzle, so it's helpful to be familiar with Guzzle Exceptions.

Example:

use GuzzleHttp\Exception\ClientException;

try {
    $skills = $this->skillsService->searchSkills('programming');
} catch (ClientException $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
}

Optional Configuration

You can customize the configuration by setting the following environment variables in your .env file:

SHARP_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
SHARP_API_BASE_URL=https://sharpapi.com/api/v1
