Chef

The Chef Server API is used to provide access to objects on the Chef Server, including nodes, environments, roles, cookbooks (and cookbook versions), and to manage an API client list and the associated RSA public key-pairs.

This is a generic library and has additional support for the Laravel framework.

This is forked from https://github.com/jenssegers/php-chef I have some different requirements and will be maintaining it independantly. For legacy compatibility reasons I still use the original packages namespace so this is a drop in replacement.

Installation

Add aashley/chef as a requirement to composer.json:

composer require "aashley/chef" "^2.0"

Update your packages with composer update or install with composer install.

Usage

Create a chef object like this:

// composer
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
use Jenssegers\Chef\Chef;

// create chef object
$chef = new Chef($server, $client, $key, $version);

// API request
$response = $chef->api($endpoint, $method, $data);

See http://docs.opscode.com/api_chef_server.html for all available endpoints.

Examples

Get nodes:

$nodes = $chef->get('/nodes');

Create a data bag:

$bag = new stdClass;
$bag->name = "test";

$resp = $chef->post('/data', $bag);

Update a node:

$node = $chef->get('/nodes/webserver1');
$node->attributes->type = "webserver";

$chef->put('/nodes/webserver1', $node);

Delete a data bag:

$chef->delete('/data/test/item');
