Job Boards Workable

Workable connector for the plin-code job boards family. It reads the public Workable job board widget, which needs no credentials and returns a whole board in one request:

GET https://apply.workable.com/api/v1/widget/accounts/{slug}
{ "name": "Acme", "description": "...", "jobs": [ { "shortcode": "ABC123", "title": "Backend Engineer", ... } ] }

It implements PlinCode\JobBoards\Contracts\JobBoardClient from plin-code/job-boards-core, so it is interchangeable with every other connector in the family. Generated from plin-code/job-boards-skeleton.

Installation

composer require plin-code/job-boards-workable

Framework agnostic on purpose

WorkableClient takes core's HttpClient and an optional PSR-3 logger. It imports nothing from Laravel, so a Symfony or plain PHP consumer builds it directly:

use GuzzleHttp\Client;
use GuzzleHttp\Psr7\HttpFactory;
use PlinCode\JobBoards\Http\HttpClient;
use PlinCode\JobBoards\Workable\WorkableClient;

$http = new HttpClient(new Client, new HttpFactory);

$client = new WorkableClient($http);

$jobs = $client->fetchJobsForCompany('acme');       // list<JobPostingDTO>
$name = $client->validateSlug('acme');              // ?string, the account name
$about = $client->fetchCompanyDescription('acme');  // ?string

WorkableServiceProvider is the only Laravel aware file in the package, and all it does is that same wiring out of the container.

Laravel usage

The provider is auto discovered.

use PlinCode\JobBoards\Workable\WorkableClient;

$client = app(WorkableClient::class);

foreach ($client->fetchJobsForCompany('acme') as $job) {
    JobPosting::updateOrCreate(
        ['external_id' => $job->externalId],
        $job->toArray(),
    );
}

Publish the config to change the base URL, the timeouts or the request headers:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=job-boards-workable-config

'base_url'       => env('JOB_BOARDS_WORKABLE_BASE_URL', WorkableClient::API_BASE_URL),
'timeout'        => env('JOB_BOARDS_WORKABLE_TIMEOUT', 30),
'lookup_timeout' => env('JOB_BOARDS_WORKABLE_LOOKUP_TIMEOUT', 15),
'headers'        => ['Accept' => 'application/json'],

The provider binds a PSR-18 client and a PSR-17 factory with bindIf, so an application that already binds its own keeps it. It deliberately does not bind JobBoardClient itself: several connectors implement that interface and would fight over the binding. Bind the one you want in your own application service provider.

Mapping

JobPostingDTO	Workable field
externalId	shortcode, falling back to id, then ''
title	title, falling back to 'Untitled Position'
location	city and country joined with ', ', empty parts dropped, null when both are missing
url	url, falling back to shortlink, then ''
department	department, or null
rawPayload	the untouched job object

Error handling

fetchJobsForCompany() never throws at the caller. Everything is logged through the injected PSR-3 logger and an empty list comes back, so one broken company cannot abort a sync over hundreds of them:

Situation	Level	Message
non 2xx status	warning	Workable API request failed
payload has no jobs array	warning	Workable API response missing jobs array
DNS failure, refused connection, timeout	error	Workable API connection error
unreadable body, unexpected shape	error	Unexpected error fetching Workable jobs

Every record carries company_slug. With no logger passed, a NullLogger is used and everything is silent.

validateSlug() and fetchCompanyDescription() return null for every failure and log nothing. That is intentional: neither a 404 nor a dropped connection proves a slug is good, and callers use these to validate user input.

Timeouts

PSR-18 has no notion of a timeout, so core's HttpClient::withTimeout() is only honoured by clients implementing PlinCode\JobBoards\Http\SupportsTimeout. Guzzle's PSR-18 client does not, so the configured 30 and 15 seconds are a request the transport may ignore. If timeouts matter to you, build the Guzzle client with ['timeout' => 30] and bind it yourself, or wrap it in a small SupportsTimeout adapter.

Depending on core

"require": {
    "plin-code/job-boards-core": "^0.2||^0.3"
}

Core is on Packagist, so that constraint is all this package needs: there is no repositories block to carry. Do not commit a path repository pointing at a sibling checkout of core. It resolves against the layout of one machine, and the package then fails to install from a fresh clone anywhere else.

Development

composer install
composer lint          # pint, writes
composer lint:check    # pint, read only
composer analyse       # phpstan level 10, matching core
composer test:unit     # pest
composer test          # analyse + lint:check + test:unit

tests/Unit builds the client against a faked PSR-18 client and boots no framework. tests/Feature boots Testbench and covers the service provider only.
