Sape Bundle Laravel Package

Getting Started

Minimal Setup

1. Install the Bundle Run:

   composer require anh/sape-bundle:~2.0
   

   Ensure anh/sape-php-client (dependency) is also installed.

2. Enable the Bundle Add to config/bundles.php (Symfony 4+) or AppKernel.php (Symfony <4):

   Anh\SapeBundle\AnhSapeBundle::class => ['all' => true],
   

3. Configure SAPE Add your credentials to config/packages/anh_sape.yaml (Symfony 4+) or config.yml (Symfony <4):

   anh_sape:
       user: 'your_sape_user_id_here'  # e.g., '80e20e4a72a1d09895763b4b1bc98e63'
       client_options: { charset: 'utf8' }  # Optional; defaults to utf8
   

4. First Use Case Generate SAPE links in Twig:

   {% set links = sape_return_links() %}
   {% for link in links %}
       <a href="{{ link.url }}">{{ link.title }}</a>
   {% endfor %}
   

Implementation Patterns

Core Workflows

1. Dynamic Link Generation

   • Use sape_return_links() in Twig to fetch and render SAPE links for a page.
   • Cache results if performance is critical (e.g., via Symfony Cache component):

     {% set cachedLinks = cache(app.cache, 'sape_links', 3600) %}
     {% if not cachedLinks %}
         {% set cachedLinks = sape_return_links() %}
         {% do cache(app.cache, 'sape_links', cachedLinks, 3600) %}
     {% endif %}
     

2. Block-Specific Links

   • Use sape_return_block_links() to target specific content blocks (e.g., articles, products):

     {{ sape_return_block_links(blockId) }}
     

3. Controller Integration

   • Pass SAPE data to templates via controller:

     // src/Controller/PageController.php
     public function show(Page $page): Response
     {
         $sapeLinks = $this->get('anh_sape.client')->getLinks();
         return $this->render('page/show.html.twig', [
             'links' => $sapeLinks,
         ]);
     }
     

4. Event-Driven Updates

   • Trigger SAPE link updates post-content changes (e.g., using Symfony Events):

     // src/EventListener/SapeUpdateListener.php
     public function onContentUpdate(ContentEvent $event)
     {
         $this->get('anh_sape.client')->updateLinks();
     }
     

Integration Tips

• Symfony Forms: Attach SAPE links to form fields for ad revenue:

  {{ form_row(form.field) }}
  <div class="sape-links">
      {{ sape_return_block_links('form_field_' ~ form.vars.id) }}
  </div>
  

• API Endpoints: Expose SAPE links via API for SPAs:

  // src/Controller/SapeApiController.php
  public function getLinks(): JsonResponse
  {
      return $this->json($this->get('anh_sape.client')->getLinks());
  }
  

• Twig Extensions: Extend the bundle’s Twig functions:

  // src/Twig/SapeExtension.php
  public function getFilteredLinks(array $filters): array
  {
      return $this->client->getLinks()->filter($filters);
  }
  

Gotchas and Tips

Pitfalls

1. User ID Validation

   • SAPE requires a valid user ID in config. Test with:

     php bin/console debug:config anh_sape
     

   • Invalid IDs return empty arrays; debug with:

     $client = $this->get('anh_sape.client');
     var_dump($client->getLinks()); // Should not be empty
     

2. Character Encoding

   • Default charset: utf8 may fail for non-UTF8 pages. Override in config:

     client_options: { charset: 'windows-1251' }
     

3. Caching Conflicts

   • SAPE links may change frequently. Avoid aggressive caching:

     # config/packages/cache.yaml
     app.cache.sape:
         adapter: cache.adapter.apcu
         provider: 'cache.provider.doctrine'
         default_lifetime: 300 # 5 minutes
     

4. Twig Function Scope

   • sape_return_links() is Twig-only. For PHP, use:

     $links = $this->get('anh_sape.client')->getLinks();
     

Debugging

• Log SAPE Responses Enable debug mode in config/packages/dev/anh_sape.yaml:

  anh_sape:
      debug: true
  

  Check logs for raw SAPE responses:

  grep -i "sape" var/log/dev.log
  

• Test Locally Use a local SAPE sandbox user ID to avoid live API calls during development.

Extension Points

1. Custom Link Filters Extend the client to filter links by type/language:

   // src/Service/SapeClient.php
   public function getLinksByType(string $type): array
   {
       return array_filter($this->getLinks(), fn($link) => $link->type === $type);
   }
   

2. Async Processing Offload SAPE updates to a queue (e.g., Symfony Messenger):

   // src/Message/SapeUpdateMessage.php
   public function __construct(private string $contentId) {}
   

3. Multi-Account Support Override the bundle’s SAPE_client to support multiple SAPE accounts:

   // src/DependencyInjection/AnhSapeExtension.php
   public function load(array $configs, ContainerBuilder $container)
   {
       $config = $this->processConfiguration($configuration, $configs);
       $container->setParameter('anh_sape.users', $config['users']);
   }
   

4. Webhook Integration Listen for SAPE link updates via webhooks:

   // src/EventListener/SapeWebhookListener.php
   public function onWebhook(Request $request)
   {
       $data = json_decode($request->getContent(), true);
       $this->get('anh_sape.client')->updateFromWebhook($data);
   }
