How can I integrate the Mailjet API PHP wrapper into my Codeigniter installation as a library?
Is it as simple as placing the contents of the repository into a
Yes, you are on right track. But you don't need to create CI library. Use Mailjet
repository library in controller as well. Just use composer as stated in CI docs.
If you want CodeIgniter to use a Composer auto-loader, just set $config['composer_autoload'] to TRUE or a custom path in application/config/config.php.

use \Mailjet\Resources;
class Mailman extends CI_Controller
{
private $apikey = 'apy__key__here';
private $secretkey = 'apy__secret__here';
protected $mj = NULL;
public function __construct()
{
// $this->mj variable is becoming available to controller's methods
$this->mj = new \Mailjet\Client($this->apikey, $this->apisecret);
}
public function index()
{
$response = $this->mj->get(Resources::$Contact);
/*
* Read the response
*/
if ($response->success())
var_dump($response->getData());
else
var_dump($response->getStatus());
}
}
If you explicitly want to use Mailjet (or any other) repository through CI library, check in docs how to create custom library and merge this code above with it. Personaly I use repositories this way to avoid unnecessarily loading and parsing sufficient libraries.
