How to send the message from the third-party application?

Balancer

I try to send the message to Flarum from the my script. Of course, it is possible to write it direct to DB (at first I did it so), but, I think, it is more correct to make it by Flarum codes.

My script:

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$server = new Flarum\Forum\Server(__DIR__);

$discussionID = 1;
$actor = Flarum\Core\User::find(1);
$data = [];
$ipAddress = NULL;

$cmd = new Flarum\Core\Command\PostReply($discussionId, $actor, $data, $ipAddress);

I get error:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function fire() on null in /data/www/default/vendor/flarum/core/src/Core/User.php:139

As I understand it, the creation of Flarum-server does not produce all the necessary initialization?

What should I do?

Balancer use the REST API, authorize using a master token.

luceos Works with REST API it will be explicit more difficult and heavier, than a direct call of Flarum-classes.

luceos I see REST API documentation only for login with username and password. But I need to be able to write from any forum users. Wthout knowing the password. This is possible through a REST API?

Balancer yes but the REST implementation will be less likely to break when you upgrade.

Aside from this, the PostReply command is meant to be fired into the Bus. As you totally run the command outside of the ecosystem of Flarum it's not going to work. I recommend you reconsider this implementation.

It's not scary ?

luceos As you totally run the command outside of the ecosystem of Flarum it's not going to work.

Well, somewhere in the Flarum initializes its ecosystem? Or this initialization is inseparable from the routing and dispatching request?

Balancer using the master token you can post as anyone.

The controller fires the command into the Bus, which is available in the Service Container (IoC). You could mirror that logic.

luceos Where can I get or set master token? In config.php, or in the admin panel, I do not find this option.

This might help.

I was not able to send a message via the REST API ? But I was able to emulate the environment to send over Flarum code. It is likely that something else can be simplified. The code is as follows:

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

class MyServer extends Flarum\Forum\Server
{
	public function app()
	{
		return $this->getApp();
	}
}

$server = new MyServer(__DIR__);

$app = $server->app();

$discussionId = 2;
$actorId = 2;

$actor = Flarum\Core\User::find($actorId);
$discussion = Flarum\Core\Discussion::find($discussionId);

$data = [
	'attributes' => [
		'content' => 'Hello world 2!',
		'time' => Carbon\Carbon::now('utc')->toDateTimeString(),
	],
];

$ipAddress = NULL;

$cmd = new Flarum\Core\Command\PostReply($discussionId, $actor, $data, $ipAddress);

$handler = new Flarum\Core\Command\PostReplyHandler(
	$app->events,
	new	Flarum\Core\Repository\DiscussionRepository,
	new	Flarum\Core\Notification\NotificationSyncer(new Flarum\Core\Repository\NotificationRepository, new Flarum\Core\Notification\NotificationMailer($app->mailer)),
	new Flarum\Core\Validator\PostValidator($app->validator, $app->events, $app->make('Symfony\Component\Translation\TranslatorInterface'))
);

$handler->handle($cmd);
