This package was developed to give you a quick start to communicate with the DocuWare REST API. It is used to query the most common endpoints.

⚠️ This package is not designed as a replacement of the official DocuWare REST API. See the documentation if you need further functionality. ⚠️

⚙️ Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require codebar-ag/laravel-docuware

Add the following environment variables to your .env file:

DOCUWARE_URL=https://domain.docuware.cloud
DOCUWARE_USERNAME=user@domain.test
DOCUWARE_PASSWORD=password
DOCUWARE_PASSPHRASE="passphrase"

With the passphrase we are able to encrypt the URLs.

⚠️ You need to escape backslashes in your passphrase with another backslash:

# ❌ Passphrase contains a backslash and is not escaped:
DOCUWARE_PASSPHRASE="a#bcd>2~C1'abc\#"

# ✅ We need to escape the backslash with another backslash:
DOCUWARE_PASSPHRASE="a#bcd>2~C1'abc\\#"

🏗 Usage

Getting Started with OAuth

This package automatically handles the generation of OAuth token for you and stores them in cache.

Getting a new token via Username & Password:

use CodebarAg\DocuWare\Connectors\DocuWareConnector;
use CodebarAg\DocuWare\DTO\Config\ConfigWithCredentials;

$connector = new DocuWareConnector(
    configuration: new ConfigWithCredentials(
        username: 'username',
        password: 'password',
    )
);

Getting a new token via Username & Password (Trusted User):

use CodebarAg\DocuWare\Connectors\DocuWareConnector;
use CodebarAg\DocuWare\DTO\Config\ConfigWithCredentialsTrustedUser;

$connector = new DocuWareConnector(
    configuration: new ConfigWithCredentialsTrustedUser(
        username: 'username',
        password: 'password',
        impersonatedUsername: 'impersonatedUsername',
    )
);

Extending the connector (EXAMPLE)

We understand it may be repetitive to pass the configuration every time you create a new connector.

You can extend the connector and set the configuration once.

Create a new connector

<?php

namespace App\Connectors;

use CodebarAg\DocuWare\Connectors\DocuWareConnector;
use CodebarAg\DocuWare\DTO\Config\ConfigWithCredentials;

class YourOwnDocuWareConnector extends DocuWareConnector
{
    public function __construct() {
        $configuration = new ConfigWithCredentials(
            username: 'username',
            password: 'password',
        );
    
        parent::__construct($configuration);
    }
}

Use the new connector

use App\Connectors\YourOwnDocuWareConnector;
use CodebarAg\DocuWare\DTO\Config\ConfigWithCredentials;

$connector = new YourOwnDocuWareConnector();

🖼 Make encrypted URLs

• Encrypted URLs

🏋️ Document Index Fields DTO showcase

• Document Index Fields DTO

📦 Caching requests

• Caching Requests

💥 Exceptions explained

• Exceptions

✨ Events

The Following events will be fired:

use CodebarAg\DocuWare\Events\DocuWareResponseLog;

// Log each response from the DocuWare REST API.
DocuWareResponseLog::class => [
    //
],

🔧 Configuration file

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="CodebarAg\DocuWare\DocuWareServiceProvider" --tag="docuware-config"

This is the contents of the published config file:

<?php

return [

    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Cache driver
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | You may like to define a different cache driver than the default Laravel cache driver.
    |
    */

    'cache_driver' => env('DOCUWARE_CACHE_DRIVER', env('CACHE_DRIVER', 'file')),

    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Requests timeout
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | This variable is optional and only used if you want to set the request timeout manually.

    */

    'timeout' => env('DOCUWARE_TIMEOUT', 15),

    /*

    | DocuWare Credentials
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | Before you can communicate with the DocuWare REST-API it is necessary
    | to enter your credentials. You should specify a url containing the
    | scheme and hostname. In addition add your username and password.
    |
    */

    'credentials' => [
        'url' => env('DOCUWARE_URL'),
        'username' => env('DOCUWARE_USERNAME'),

    ],

    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Passphrase
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | In order to create encrypted URLs we need a passphrase. This enables a
    | secure exchange of DocuWare URLs without anyone being able to modify
    | your query strings. You can find it in the organization settings.
    |
    */

    'passphrase' => env('DOCUWARE_PASSPHRASE'),

    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Configurations
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------

             * Determine if result list is retrieved from the cache when ForceRefresh is set
             * to false (default) or always a new one is executed when ForceRefresh is set to true.
             */

            'force_refresh' => true,
            'include_suggestions' => false,
            'additional_result_fields' => [],
        ],
        'cache' => [

            'lifetime_in_seconds' => env('DOCUWARE_CACHE_LIFETIME_IN_SECONDS', 60),
        ],
    ],
];

🚧 Testing

Copy your own phpunit.xml-file.

cp phpunit.xml.dist phpunit.xml

<env name="DOCUWARE_TOKEN" value=""/>
<env name="DOCUWARE_URL" value="https://domain.docuware.cloud"/>
<env name="DOCUWARE_USERNAME" value="user@domain.test"/>
<env name="DOCUWARE_PASSWORD" value="password"/>
<env name="DOCUWARE_PASSPHRASE" value="passphrase"/>
<env name="DOCUWARE_TIMEOUT" value="30"/>
<env name="DOCUWARE_CACHE_LIFETIME_IN_SECONDS" value="0"/>

<env name="DOCUWARE_TESTS_FILE_CABINET_ID" value=""/>
<env name="DOCUWARE_TESTS_DIALOG_ID" value=""/>
