Help needed. Dynamic API token

[BKirev]

So far I have this put in a InitializeDO method. Not sure if it's the right way but it works just fine. Correct me if there's a better way to set the API token dynamically.

$this->adapter = new Adapters\ConnectionFactory();
$config = [
	'driver'  => 'guzzlehttp',
	'token'   => Auth::user()->do_api_token
];
$this->adapter->make($config);
$this->dof = new DigitalOceanFactory($this->adapter);
$this->dof->make($config);
$this->do = $this->dof->make($config);

The problem is that I can't access the user(Auth::user()) in the consturctor of the controller, so I'm calling InitializeDO in each one of my methods(index, show, edit, etc.). I don't think this is the best approach.
And here comes my question, how can I write this, so it's called just once and working with $this->do afterwards?

No need to do all this in the constructor. Just, in your controller method:

$c = DigitalOcean::getFactory()->make(['driver' => 'guzzlehttp', 'token' => Auth::user()->do_api_token]);

Also, you definitely shouldn't ever need to write "new factory". That should always set off alarm bells. You should always check the source code to see if it's registered in the service container. In the case of this package it is, but you can also access it from the facade as in my first example. If you wanted a dependency injection approach, you could have:

use GrahamCampbell\DigitalOcean\DigitalOceanFactory;

// ...

public function myHandler(DigitalOceanFactory $do)
{
    $c = $do->make(['driver' => 'guzzlehttp', 'token' => Auth::user()->do_api_token]);
}

When I do this, I am getting invalid Argument Exception 'The DigitalOcean factory requires an auth method'

@ppshobi That's because that code example was for an old version of this package. In the new version, you don't need to specify a driver (in fact, if you do, it just gets ignored), but you must now specify an authentication method. Currently, there's a choice of none or token, as documented at https://github.com/GrahamCampbell/Laravel-DigitalOcean#digitalocean-connections. Some example config is provided at https://github.com/GrahamCampbell/Laravel-DigitalOcean/blob/7.0/config/digitalocean.php#L42-L45. That exact config is what can be passed at runtime to the factory, if you aren't specifying the token in the config file.

$client = DigitalOcean::getFactory()->make(['method' => 'token', 'token' => 'YOUR-TOKEN-HERE']);

You can also look at the tests to see how the factory should be used: https://github.com/GrahamCampbell/Laravel-DigitalOcean/blob/7.0/tests/DigitalOceanFactoryTest.php#L31-L39.

Yes. I was able to find it. Thanks for the library and quick help.
