Upgrading from V2

You need to add the following to config/bcsapi.php

  'v4' => [
            'backoffice' => [
                'url' => env('BCSBACKOFFICE_V4_APIURL',''),
                'token' => env('BCSBACKOFFICE_V4_APITOKEN',''),
            ],
        ]

and .env is

BCSBACKOFFICE_V4_APIURL={base host url, not api.backoffice.ie}
BCSBACKOFFICE_V4_APITOKEN={sanctum token}

V2 BCSApiWrapper

$CourseApi =  App('BCSApi')->Course();
$CourseInfo = $CourseApi->CourseInfo(12345);
echo $CourseInfo->CourseName;

V4 BCSApiWrapper

$CourseApi = BCSLoader::Course();
$CourseInfo = $CourseApi->CourseInfo(12345);
echo $CourseInfo->CourseName;

This may require rewriting of quite a bit of code on upgrading.

Tests

There is a Postman Collection to do tests on the main BCSApi routes.
