Getting Started

Minimal Steps

Installation Add the bundle to your Symfony2 project via Composer:
```
composer require cekurte/livebuzzbundle
```
Enable the bundle in app/AppKernel.php:
```
new Cekurte\LivebuzzBundle\CekurteLivebuzzBundle(),
```

Configuration Locate the default config in Resources/config/services.yml and override it in app/config/config.yml:

cekurte_livebuzz:
    api_key: "%livebuzz_api_key%"  # Define this in parameters.yml
    api_secret: "%livebuzz_api_secret%"
    base_url: "%livebuzz_base_url%"  # e.g., "https://api.livebuzz.com"

First Use Case Fetch a user’s social media metrics via a controller:

use Cekurte\LivebuzzBundle\Service\LivebuzzService;

class SocialMetricsController extends Controller
{
    public function showMetricsAction($userId)
    {
        $livebuzz = $this->get('cekurte_livebuzz.service');
        $metrics = $livebuzz->getUserMetrics($userId);
        return $this->render('metrics/show.html.twig', ['metrics' => $metrics]);
    }
}

Implementation Patterns

Usage Patterns

Service Integration Inject LivebuzzService into controllers/services to interact with Livebuzz APIs:

$livebuzz->getPosts($platform, $userId, $limit = 10);
$livebuzz->getEngagementStats($platform, $userId, $period = 'monthly');
$livebuzz->postComment($platform, $postId, $comment);

Event-Driven Workflows Use Symfony’s event system to trigger Livebuzz actions (e.g., post engagement alerts):

# services.yml
services:
    app.livebuzz.listener:
        class: AppBundle\EventListener\LivebuzzListener
        tags:
            - { name: kernel.event_listener, event: post.publish, method: onPostPublish }

Twig Integration Pass Livebuzz data to templates for dynamic rendering:

{% for post in metrics.posts %}
    <div class="post">
        <p>{{ post.message }}</p>
        <span>Likes: {{ post.likes }}</span>
    </div>
{% endfor %}

Background Processing Offload heavy tasks (e.g., bulk metric fetching) to Symfony’s Messenger component:
```
$message = new FetchLivebuzzMetricsMessage($userId);
$this->get('messenger')->dispatch($message);
```

Gotchas and Tips

Pitfalls

API Rate Limits Livebuzz may throttle requests. Implement exponential backoff in your service:

try {
    $response = $livebuzz->getData();
} catch (RateLimitExceededException $e) {
    sleep($e->getRetryAfter());
    retry();
}

Deprecated Platforms Some social platforms may be deprecated in Livebuzz. Validate endpoints before use:

if (!$livebuzz->isPlatformSupported('old_platform')) {
    throw new \RuntimeException('Unsupported platform');
}

Caching Sensitivity Avoid caching user-specific metrics aggressively, as they may change frequently:

# config.yml
cekurte_livebuzz:
    cache_ttl: 300  # 5 minutes for non-sensitive data
    user_metrics_ttl: 60  # 1 minute for user-specific data

Debugging

Enable API Logging Configure Monolog to log Livebuzz API calls:

monolog:
    handlers:
        livebuzz:
            type: stream
            path: "%kernel.logs_dir%/livebuzz.log"
            level: debug
            channels: ["livebuzz"]

Validate API Credentials Test credentials early using the validateApiKey() method:

if (!$livebuzz->validateApiKey()) {
    throw new \RuntimeException('Invalid Livebuzz API credentials');
}

Extension Points

Custom Platform Adapters Extend the PlatformAdapter class to support unsupported platforms:

class CustomPlatformAdapter extends AbstractPlatformAdapter
{
    public function getEndpoint($action)
    {
        return 'https://custom-api.com/' . $action;
    }
}

Webhook Handlers Implement LivebuzzWebhookListener to handle real-time updates:

class LivebuzzWebhookListener implements WebhookListenerInterface
{
    public function handleWebhook(array $payload)
    {
        // Process payload (e.g., new comment, like)
    }
}

Data Transformers Override response transformers to customize data structures:
```
$livebuzz->setTransformer(new CustomMetricsTransformer());
```
