How to implement MailChimp in DotKernel API

This article will walk you through the process of implementing MailChimp into your instance of DotKernel API using drewm/mailchimp-api

  Step 1: Add the library to your application using the following command: composer require drewm/mailchimp-api   Step 2: Create configuration file config/autoload/mailchimp.global.php and paste the following content inside of it:

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

return
];

  Step 3: Create factory src/App/src/MailChimp/Factory/MailChimpFactory.php which will return an instance of DrewM\MailChimp. Paste the following content inside this file:

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace Api\App\MailChimp\Factory;

use DrewM\MailChimp\MailChimp;
use Psr\Container\ContainerInterface;

/**
 * Class MailChimpFactory
 * @package Api\App\MailChimp\Factory
 */
class MailChimpFactory
{
    /**
     * @param ContainerInterface $container
     * @return MailChimp
     * @throws \Exception
     */
    public function __invoke(ContainerInterface $container) : MailChimp
    {
        $config = $container->get('config') ?? [];

        return new MailChimp($config ?? '');
    }
}

  Step 4: Let your application use this factory by adding it to the main ConfigProvider: To do this, open file src/App/src/ConfigProvider.php and locate the method called getDependencies(). Inside this method, locate the key factories which points to an array. Inside this array add the following line:

MailChimp::class => MailChimpFactory::class,

Make sure you you add the corresponding uses:

use Api\App\MailChimp\Factory\MailChimpFactory;
use DrewM\MailChimp\MailChimp;

  After this, you can start using the library by @Injecting MailChimp::class where it's needed.
