Use as a CodeIgniter library

Exeu edited this page Dec 20, 2011 · 3 revisions

I have been using this class as-is for a while - and it has been great, but Im now converting my site to use the CodeIgniter framework.

I have managed to get the AmazonECS to work as a library - by changing about 6 lines of code. Im not sure I had done things in the best way - but happy to share these changes with anyone, should they want to go down the codeigniter route.

Thanks again for an amazing class.


Changes:

  1. Rename the AmazonECS.class.php to just AmazonECS.php

  2. Add the file to the application/libraries folder

  3. Change some code within the class as follows:

LINE 71 (construct)

<?php
// ...

public function __construct($params)
{
      
    $accessKey    = $params[0];
    $secretKey    = $params[1];
    $country      = $params[2];
    $associateTag = $params[3];
      
    if (empty($accessKey) || empty($secretKey))
    {
      throw new Exception('No Access Key or Secret Key has been set');
    }

    $this->requestConfig['accessKey']     = $accessKey;
    $this->requestConfig['secretKey']     = $secretKey;
    $this->requestConfig['associateTag']  = $associateTag;
    $this->country($country);
}
  1. Call the library as follows:
<?php
// ...
$params = array(AWS_API_KEY, AWS_API_SECRET_KEY, 'co.uk', AWS_ASSOCIATE_ID);

$this->load->library("AmazonECS", $params);
        
//tell the amazon class that we want an array, not an object
$this->amazonecs->setReturnType(AmazonECS::RETURN_TYPE_ARRAY);
        
$response = $this->amazonecs->category($category)->search($search);

And thats it!
