Basic lead

This example lead represents the minimum data required to comply with ADF specifications.

$adf = ( new CarmeloSantana\SendAdf\SendAdf() )
    ->addProspect( 'new' )
    ->addRequestdate( '2/9/2020 6:26PM' )
    ->addVehicle( [
        'year' => 1999,
        'make' => 'Chevrolet',
        'model' => 'Blazer'
    ], 'buy', 'used' )
    ->addCustomer()
        ->addContact()
            ->addName( 'John Doe' )
            ->addPhone( '393-999-3922' )
    ->addVendor()
        ->addContact()
            ->addName( 'Acura of Bellevue' );

Output

Basic output with no tabs.

echo $adf->getXml();

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?adf version="1.0"?>
<adf><prospect status="new"><requestdate>2020-02-09T18:26:00-05:00</requestdate><vehicle interest="buy" status="used"><year>1999</year><make>Chevrolet</make><model>Blazer</model></vehicle><customer><contact><name part="full" type="individual">John Doe</name><phone type="voice" time="nopreference">393-999-3922</phone></contact></customer><vendor><contact><name part="full" type="individual">Acura of Bellevue</name></contact></vendor></prospect></adf>

Pretty print output.

echo $adf->getPrettyPrintXML();

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

</adf>

Default values

Default attribute values are added if none are supplied. This is to adhere to the ADF standard.

$adf = ( new CarmeloSantana\SendAdf\SendAdf() )
    ->addRequestdate()
    ->addVehicle( [
        'year' => 2020,
        'make' => 'Chevrolet',
        'model' => 'Blazer'
    ] )
    ->addCustomer()
        ->addContact()
            ->addName( 'John Doe' )
            ->addPhone( '393-999-3922' );

echo $adf->getPrettyPrintXML();

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?adf version="1.0"?>
<adf>
  <prospect status="new">
    <requestdate>2021-02-09T19:32:16-05:00</requestdate>
    <vehicle interest="buy" status="new">
      <year>1999</year>
      <make>Chevrolet</make>
      <model>Blazer</model>
    </vehicle>
    <customer>
      <contact>
        <name part="full" type="individual">John Doe</name>
        <phone type="voice" time="nopreference">393-999-3922</phone>
      </contact>
    </customer>
  </prospect>
</adf>

• prospect tag is opened with status new without calling addProspect.
• addRequestdate current server time is used as the default for requestdate when none is provided.
• name part and type are provided.
• phone type and time are provided.

Default values can be avoided by using addProspectparent_node and addNode as seen in example 3.

Sending empty values as shown in example 1 can disable these attributes as well.
