Xml Helper

Included in the Xero wrapper package is an XML Helper Trait.

There are two helper methods available; one for a single resource and one for multiple resources. Each method converts an array into an XML string.

Setup

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers\XeroApplication;

use Xero\helpers\XmlHelper;

class XeroAppController
{
    use XmlHelper;

    //do something here
}

Single Resource

$newInvoiceArray = [   
    'Type' => 'ACCREC',
    'Contact' => [
        'ContactID' => 'e32e2130-3d27-443a-8313-48fffa03cf53'
    ],
    'Date' => '2017-03-28',
    'LineAmountTypes' => 'Exclusive',
    'LineItems' => [
        'LineItem' => [
            'Description' => 'Line Item 1',
            'Quantity' => 10.000,
            'UnitAmount' => 11.00,
            'AccountCode' => 200
        ]
    ]
];

return $this->xml_one_resource($newInvoiceArray, 'Invoice');

Returned XML
