Lastfm Client Laravel Package

Added

• New AuthHelper class for streamlined Last.fm authentication workflows
• LastFmClientFactory with authentication methods (createWithApiKey, createWithSession, createWithMobileAuth)
• ConfigCache singleton for performance-optimized configuration management
• Comprehensive integration and unit test suite with 100% coverage
• Enhanced parameter validation with security and performance limits

Changed

• BREAKING: Method names changed to verb-first convention (e.g. artistGetInfo() → getArtistInfo())
• BREAKING: Enhanced parameter handling with named parameter support and camelCase conversion
• BREAKING: Restructured authentication flow with dedicated setApiCredentials() method
• BREAKING: No backward compatibility for old method names to ensure clean API design
• Improved error handling with more descriptive messages and proper exception types
• Performance optimizations including configuration caching and efficient type conversions

Fixed

• Parameter validation edge cases and security vulnerabilities
• HTTP response stream handling and JSON error processing
• Authentication signature generation consistency
• Null parameters causing Error Code 6 by properly omitting them from API requests
• Misleading error messages for authentication-required operations now show clear authentication requirements instead of "missing required parameter"

Added

• Service-description-based architecture with only two classes

• Support for all 55+ Last.fm API endpoints (track, artist, album, user, chart, tag, geo, library, auth methods)
• Full authentication support (API key and OAuth session-based)
• Scrobbling and now playing functionality
• Comprehensive error handling and type safety
• IDE support with method documentation and Last.fm API links
• PHPStan Level 8 compatibility for maximum static analysis
