google/gax 0.34.0

The Google API Core for PHP, popularly known as google/gax, is a collection of modules that simplifies the development of APIs for clients based on Google API conventions and gRPC. This facilitates developers when interacting with Google API, by using services like page streaming and retry mechanisms to provide a more user-friendly and idiomatic API interface.

Utilizing google/gax in your PHP project can be done using the following steps:

1. Install the necessary dependencies as appropriate for your operating system. For Linux, you can use the following commands:

cd ~/
sudo apt-get install php php-dev libcurl3-openssl-dev php-pear php-bcmath php-xml
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
sudo pecl install protobuf

2. Set up the repository:

cd /path/to/gax-php
cp ~/composer.phar ./
php composer.phar install

3. After installation, you can run the test to ensure everything is working as expected:

vendor/bin/phpunit --bootstrap tests/bootstrap.php tests

If you change composer.json, update the dependencies with this command:

php composer.phar update

To format your source code, use:

vendor/bin/phpcbf -s --standard=./ruleset.xml

and:

vendor/bin/phpcs -s --standard=./ruleset.xml

Usually, application code does not directly use most classes within google/gax. This library mostly aids code generated automatically from Google API's definition files.
