Towards the bottom of this readme is a list of some of the event codes and their rough definition.
PHP 8.1 or above is required.
To install the package via Composer:
composer require elliotjreed/royal-mail-trackingThree means of fetching tracking data are available:
Events: for detailed information and full history of a single tracking number;Signature: the signature data (including image data - either base64-encoded PNG, or an SVG);Summary: for the most recent event for multiple tracking numbers.
Details for each are outlined below, with examples included.
Information about error handling is provided below the Events, Signature, and Summary information
(and is worth reading as Summary errors are handled differently to Events and Summary errors).
$tracking = (new \ElliotJReed\RoyalMail\Tracking\Events(
new \GuzzleHttp\Client(),
'aaaaaaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddd-eeeeeeeeeeee',

));The behaviour of the events operation is to provide a history of tracks for a single mail item.
Returns the summary, signature metadata, estimated delivery window and events for a supplied tracking number.

}The behaviour of the summary operation is to allow customers to obtain the latest tracking data for a mail item.
This operation returns the summary of one or more tracking numbers provided in the request.
This operation only allows a maximum of 30 tracking numbers to be provided in the ->setTrackingNumbers() method
(eg. ->setTrackingNumbers(['AB0123456789GB', 'CD0123456789GB'])).

}Errors are thrown as instances of the \ElliotJReed\RoyalMail\Tracking\Exception\RoyalMailError exception.
Further error information can be accessed through the ->getResponse() method on the thrown exception when available.
Potential causes and resolutions can be accessed through ->getErrorResponse()->getErrors() when available.
When the response from Royal Mail's API is one which falls outside of their expected responses a
\ElliotJReed\RoyalMail\Tracking\Exception\RoyalMailResponseError is thrown.
This would only be thrown if there is a serious outage at Royal Mail's API (for example, a DNS failure).
Exceptions are thrown for Events, Signature, and Summary requests for application-specific / technical errors by default (eg. invalid API credentials),
as instances of the \ElliotJReed\RoyalMail\Tracking\Exception\RoyalMailTechnicalError exception.

}Errors for business/tracking number-specific Summary request errors are returned in the MailPiece object rather than thrown as exceptions
(as Summary will return information for multiple tracking numbers).
Because of this, when an error is encountered an exception will only be thrown when it is an application-specific error,
and not when the error is related to a particular tracking number. Instead, the error is returned via the Mailpieces object for specific
the tracking number.

PHP 8.0 or above and Composer is expected to be installed.
For instructions on how to install Composer visit getcomposer.org.
After cloning this repository, change into the newly created directory and run:
composer installor if you have installed Composer locally in your current directory:
php composer.phar installThis will install all dependencies needed for the project.
Henceforth, the rest of this README will assume composer is installed globally (ie. if you are using composer.phar you will need to use composer.phar instead of composer in your terminal / command-line).
Unit testing in this project is via PHPUnit.
All unit tests can be run by executing:
composer phpunitTo have PHPUnit stop and report on the first failing test encountered, run:
composer phpunit:debugA standard for code style can be important when working in teams, as it means that less time is spent by developers processing what they are reading (as everything will be consistent).
Code formatting is automated via PHP-CS-Fixer. PHP-CS-Fixer will not format line lengths which do form part of the PSR-2 coding standards so these will product warnings when checked by PHP Code Sniffer.
These can be run by executing:
composer phpcsAll of the tests can be run by executing:
composer testChecking for outdated Composer dependencies can be performed by executing:
composer outdatedChecking that the composer.json is valid can be performed by executing:
composer validate --no-check-publishIf GNU Make is installed, you can replace the above composer command prefixes with make.
All of the tests can be run by executing:
make testSpecific output formats better suited to CI platforms are included as Composer scripts.
To output unit test coverage in text and Clover XML format (which can be used for services such as Coveralls):
composer phpunit:ci
To output PHP-CS-Fixer (dry run) and PHPCS results in checkstyle format (which GitHub Actions will use to output a readable format):
composer phpcs:github-actions
