Purpose

A simple package written in PHP that fetches statistics from NPM. It's mostly a wrapper around the NPM-API.

Installation

Installation can be done easily through composer.

composer require vanbrabantf/npm-stat-fetcher

Usage

tl;dr: Usage of the package is pretty simple, just pass the name of the npm package you would like to get the stats off to the methods inside of the StatFetcher class.

You can import the class like this:

$statFetcher = new Vanbrabantf\NpmStatFetcher\StatFetcher();

Available methods

Will return the downloads of the previous day:

$statFetcher->getDownloadsLastDay('jquery');

Will return the downloads of the previous week:

$statFetcher->getDownloadsLastWeek('jquery');

Will return the downloads of the previous month:

$statFetcher->getDownloadsLastMonth('jquery');

Will return the downloads of the previous year:

$statFetcher->getDownloadsLastYear('jquery');

Will return the total downloads:

$statFetcher->getDownloads('jquery');

Will return the total downloads between 2 dates:

$start = new DateTime('1989-12-13');
$end = new DateTime('1988-11-07');
$statFetcher->getDownloadsBetweenDates('jquery', $start, $end);

What it will return

The methods will return DownloadStatistics objects. These are value objects that have values for the dates, download counts and package information.
