## In your app

A controller answers a route on your app: it calls `listTestimonials()` and returns the answer.

**1. Add the controller**

```php app/Http/Controllers/ListTestimonialsController.php theme={"dark"}
<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Fetchski\AttractCmsLaravel\Data\TestimonialList;
use Fetchski\AttractCmsLaravel\Facades\Attract;

final class ListTestimonialsController
{
    public function __invoke(): TestimonialList
    {
        return Attract::testimonials()->listTestimonials();
    }
}
```

**2. Add the route**

```php routes/web.php theme={"dark"}
use App\Http\Controllers\ListTestimonialsController;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

Route::get('/testimonial', ListTestimonialsController::class);
```

**3. Call it**

```bash Terminal theme={"dark"}
curl http://localhost:8000/testimonial
```

With `php artisan serve` running, it prints its answer as JSON.

> [!TIP]
>
> To keep the call in an Action instead, this writes `app/Actions/Attract/ListTestimonials.php` (an invokable Action that calls `listTestimonials()`) and its test under `tests/Feature/Actions/Attract/` (Pest when your app has it):
>
> ```bash Terminal theme={"dark"}
> php artisan make:attract-action testimonials.listTestimonials
> ```

## Call it from the terminal

```bash Terminal theme={"dark"}
php artisan attract:call testimonials.listTestimonials
```

It calls `listTestimonials()` on your default site and prints its answer as JSON. See [Call any method from the terminal](https://docs.fetchski-attract.com/call-command.md) for every argument type.

```bash Terminal theme={"dark"}
php artisan attract:call testimonials.listTestimonialsPick fields=title,slug
```

Only the fields you name, for every document across every page: [Find an id](https://docs.fetchski-attract.com/find-an-id.md).

> [accordion] Optional parameters
>
> Named arguments, e.g. `listTestimonials(page: …)`; leave out the optional ones.
>
> **page** `?int`
>
> **Optional.** Leave it out and the site uses `1`. Page number for pagination (1-based)
>
> **perPage** `?int`
>
> **Optional.** Leave it out (or pass `null`) and it isn’t sent: the site’s default applies. Documents per page. Each content type has its own default (core’s is 50; a type may set another). There is no upper limit: a large value answers the whole list at once, which is slow on a big one. At least 1.
>
> **search** `?string`
>
> **Optional.** Leave it out (or pass `null`) and it isn’t sent: the site’s default applies. Matches documents by their text. Ignored for the public and API keys on a type whose public fields leave some out (a search would match the hidden ones).
>
> **aposMode** `Enums\\AposMode|string|null`
>
> **Optional.** Leave it out and the site uses `"published"`. `published` (the default) or `draft`. Drafts need a credential that may see them: an API key with the type’s write scope (`content:<type>:write`), or a signed-in editor. The public and a key with only the read scope get 403. One of `draft`, `published`.
>
> **aposLocale** `?string`
>
> **Optional.** Leave it out (or pass `null`) and it isn’t sent: the site’s default applies. The locale to read or write, e.g. `en` (default: the site’s default locale).
>
> **renderAreas** `?bool`
>
> **Optional.** Leave it out and the site uses `false`. true: each area’s widgets come back rendered as HTML (`_rendered`), beside their data.
>
> **slug** `?string`
>
> **Optional.** Leave it out (or pass `null`) and it isn’t sent: the site’s default applies. Only the document with exactly this slug: a list of one, or an empty list when none has it. Use it to find a document by the name in its URL.

> [accordion] Returns
>
> A `TestimonialList` (`Fetchski\AttractCmsLaravel\Data\TestimonialList`). A page of Testimonial documents. Read its properties (`$testimonialList->results`): each says whether the site always sends it. The example answer is the site’s wire JSON: some keys differ from the property names (`_id` → `id`, `_authorPhoto` → `authorPhoto`).
>
> **results** `Collection\<int, Testimonial\>`
>
> **Always sent.** A list of `Testimonial`. This page’s documents; empty past the last page.
>
> **Testimonial (Fetchski\AttractCmsLaravel\Data\Testimonial)**
>
> Testimonial content type
>
> **title** `string`
>
> **Always sent.** Its title: the name it goes by in every list, and the heading of its page where it has one.
>
> **quote** `string`
>
> **Always sent.** The testimonial itself, in the author’s words.
>
> **slug** `string`
>
> **Always sent.** The URL name: lowercase words joined by hyphens (letters outside a–z, even emoji, are kept).
>
> **id** `string`
>
> **Always sent.** The document’s id. On a type with drafts it ends in its locale and mode (`…:en:published`, `…:en:draft`): the part before the first colon is its `aposDocId`, shared by both copies. The `{_id}` the type’s routes take.
>
> **type** `string`
>
> **Always sent.** The document type’s name: always this type’s.
>
> **authorName** `?string`
>
> **Sometimes sent:** `null` when the site leaves it out. Who said it — e.g. “Jordan Lee”.
>
> **authorTitle** `?string`
>
> **Sometimes sent:** `null` when the site leaves it out. An optional second line under the name — e.g. “Founder, Acme Co.” or “Customer since 2021”.
>
> **rating** `?int`
>
> **Sometimes sent:** `null` when the site leaves it out. Optional. Only shown when the Testimonials section has “Show star rating” turned on. 1 to 5.
>
> **featured** `?bool`
>
> **Sometimes sent:** `null` when the site leaves it out. Hand-curation flag. The widget can be set to show only featured testimonials.
>
> **visibility** `Enums\\Visibility|string|null`
>
> **Sometimes sent:** `null` when the site leaves it out. Select whether this content is public or private. One of `public`, `loginRequired`; a newer site may send others, so keep a fallback.
>
> **scheduledPublish** `?string`
>
> **Sometimes sent:** `null` when the site leaves it out. An ISO 8601 date and time, e.g. `2026-10-21T14:30:00.000Z`.
>
> **scheduledUnpublish** `?string`
>
> **Sometimes sent:** `null` when the site leaves it out. An ISO 8601 date and time, e.g. `2026-10-21T14:30:00.000Z`.
>
> **testimonialFontOverrides** `Collection\<int, TestimonialTestimonialFontOverridesItem\>|null`
>
> **Sometimes sent:** `null` when the site leaves it out. A list of `TestimonialTestimonialFontOverridesItem`. Optional. Set part of this testimonial’s card in a different typeface. Leave empty to follow the section (and the site fonts). At most 4 items.
>
> **TestimonialTestimonialFontOverridesItem (Fetchski\AttractCmsLaravel\Data\TestimonialTestimonialFontOverridesItem)**
>
> **id** `?string`
>
> **Sometimes sent:** `null` when the site leaves it out. The row’s id, unique in its array.
>
> **target** `Enums\\Target|string|null`
>
> **Sometimes sent:** `null` when the site leaves it out. Which text this typeface replaces. Rows apply in order, so a broad row (Everything) followed by a narrow one (Headings) gives the section a base face plus an exception. One of `all`, `heading`, `body`, `eyebrow`, `button`, `code`; a newer site may send others, so keep a fallback.
>
> **source** `Enums\\Source|string|null`
>
> **Sometimes sent:** `null` when the site leaves it out. Where the typeface comes from. The first option costs nothing extra — those faces are already loaded. The others load an additional font on pages that use this section. One of `slot`, `curated`, `cdn`, `upload`; a newer site may send others, so keep a fallback.
>
> **slot** `Enums\\Slot|string|null`
>
> **Sometimes sent:** `null` when the site leaves it out. Set in Site design → Typography. Following the site’s own faces keeps a section on-brand and adds no download. One of `display`, `body`, `accent`; a newer site may send others, so keep a fallback.
>
> **curated** `Enums\\Curated|string|null`
>
> **Sometimes sent:** `null` when the site leaves it out. Vetted families from Bunny Fonts and Fontshare, with their available weights already verified. One of `archivo`, `bricolage-grotesque`, `clash-display`, `courier-prime`, `dm-mono`, `dm-sans`, `fira-code`, `fraunces`, `general-sans`, `ibm-plex-mono`, `ibm-plex-sans`, `inconsolata`, `inter`, `jetbrains-mono`, `karla`, `lora`, `manrope`, `nunito-sans`, `outfit`, `playfair-display`, `public-sans`, `red-hat-mono`, `satoshi`, `sentient`, `sora`, `source-code-pro`, `source-sans-3`, `source-serif-4`, `space-grotesk`, `space-mono`, `spline-sans-mono`, `supreme`, `switzer`, `syne`, `ubuntu-mono`, `unbounded`, `victor-mono`, `work-sans`, `zodiak`; a newer site may send others, so keep a fallback.
>
> **cdnProvider** `Enums\\CdnProvider|string|null`
>
> **Sometimes sent:** `null` when the site leaves it out. Where to browse for the family. Pick one, then follow the link below to find the exact name. One of `bunny`, `fontshare`; a newer site may send others, so keep a fallback.
>
> **cdnFamily** `?string`
>
> **Sometimes sent:** `null` when the site leaves it out. Exactly as the provider’s catalog spells it, e.g. "Space Grotesk" or "Clash Display". A name the provider doesn’t have loads nothing and this row is ignored.
>
> **cdnWeights** `?string`
>
> **Sometimes sent:** `null` when the site leaves it out. Comma-separated weights to load, e.g. 400, 700. Empty loads 400, 500, 700. Weights the family doesn’t ship are skipped by the CDN and synthesized by the browser (faux bold) — but a family that ships only ONE weight (Acme, for instance) loads nothing at all unless that weight is among these, so set it explicitly if the typeface doesn’t appear.
>
> **uploads** `Collection\<int, TestimonialTestimonialFontOverridesItemUploadsItem\>|null`
>
> **Sometimes sent:** `null` when the site leaves it out. A list of `TestimonialTestimonialFontOverridesItemUploadsItem`. One file per weight/style of the SAME typeface. woff2 strongly recommended (smallest, universally supported); woff/ttf/otf also accepted. At most 4 items.
>
> **TestimonialTestimonialFontOverridesItemUploadsItem (Fetchski\AttractCmsLaravel\Data\TestimonialTestimonialFontOverridesItemUploadsItem)**
>
> **file** `array\<string, mixed\>`
>
> **Always sent.** File attachment reference.
>
> **id** `?string`
>
> **Sometimes sent:** `null` when the site leaves it out. The row’s id, unique in its array.
>
> **weight** `Enums\\Weight|string|null`
>
> **Sometimes sent:** `null` when the site leaves it out. Weight. One of `100`, `200`, `300`, `400`, `500`, `600`, `700`, `800`, `900`; a newer site may send others, so keep a fallback.
>
> **style** `Enums\\Style|string|null`
>
> **Sometimes sent:** `null` when the site leaves it out. Style. One of `normal`, `italic`; a newer site may send others, so keep a fallback.
>
> **fields** `array\<string, mixed\>`
>
> **Always there:** `[]` when there are none. Any keys the site sent that aren’t listed above (such as one added after this SDK was built), by their wire names, as sent. Pass this model to a write and they are sent too. An object in it that a PHP array would read as a list (`{}`, `{"0": …}`) is a `stdClass`, so it is sent back as an object.
>
> **fallback** `Enums\\Fallback|string|null`
>
> **Sometimes sent:** `null` when the site leaves it out. Generic system font shown while this typeface loads (and if it fails). Curated picks set this automatically. One of `sans`, `serif`, `mono`; a newer site may send others, so keep a fallback.

>
> **Sometimes sent:** `null` when the site leaves it out. Optional. A first-party headshot from the media library. Falls back to a lettered-initial avatar when empty. The related `@apostrophecms/image` documents, in order (empty when none). To set it, send a list of `{ "_id": "…" }`, one per document (one at most); a document the site can’t find is left out. At most 1 items.
>
> **authorPhotoUrl** `?string`
>
> **Sometimes sent:** `null` when the site leaves it out. Alternative to uploading: a full https\:// link to a photo hosted elsewhere. Only used when no Author photo is selected above — prefer uploading when you can (it enables focal point and responsive sizes). When set, a URL; empty or null when not.
>
> **link** `?string`
>
> **Sometimes sent:** `null` when the site leaves it out. Optional. A link to the full story / case study / original post. When set, a URL; empty or null when not.

## Behavior

* **Access:** an API key with `content:testimonials:read` (or a master above it: `content:testimonials:all`, `content:all`, `admin:all`) reads the published documents; drafts (`aposMode=draft`) need `content:testimonials:write` (or a master above it). A signed-in person reads as far as their own permissions allow, and anyone else reads the published documents’ public fields.
* **Rate limit:** the key’s own reads-per-minute limit, set when the key is created (default 600); over it, 429 with `Retry-After`. The client waits and retries for you; you see `RateLimited` only if that runs out.
* **Retries:** a read is safe to repeat: the client retries it on no answer, a 502/503/504 and a 429.
* **Timeout:** 15 s per attempt by default; raise `timeout` in `config/fetchski-attract.php` for longer.
* **Paging:** one page per call. To walk them all, use `listTestimonialsAll()` (see More examples): it asks for the next page as you iterate, and stops after page `pages`.

## More examples

`listTestimonialsAll()` takes `listTestimonials()`’s arguments except `page`. `listTestimonialsPick()` takes the same arguments except `page`, after the fields to answer: each row is the document’s `id` and those fields.

```php Every page wrap theme={"dark"}
use Fetchski\AttractCmsLaravel\Facades\Attract;

$testimonials = Attract::testimonials()->listTestimonialsAll(); // LazyCollection<int, Testimonial>: the next page is fetched as you iterate
```

```php Only some fields wrap theme={"dark"}
use Fetchski\AttractCmsLaravel\Facades\Attract;

$rows = Attract::testimonials()->listTestimonialsPick(fields: ['title', 'slug']); // LazyCollection of ['id' => …, 'title' => …, 'slug' => …]: every testimonial, across every page
```

## Test it

It calls the route above with the SDK faked: the fake answers every call with a valid example, so nothing leaves your machine and no config or key is needed. Save it as `tests/Feature/ListTestimonialsTest.php`, then run your tests:

```php tests/Feature/ListTestimonialsTest.php theme={"dark"}
<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace Tests\Feature;

use Fetchski\AttractCmsLaravel\Facades\Attract;
use Tests\TestCase;

final class ListTestimonialsTest extends TestCase
{
    public function test_list_testimonials(): void
    {
        Attract::fake();

        $this->getJson('/testimonial')->assertOk();

        Attract::assertCalled('testimonials.listTestimonials');
    }
}
```

```bash Terminal theme={"dark"}
php artisan test
```

**Answer with your own values:** fake `testimonials.listTestimonials` with a `sequence()` of pages, each `TestimonialList::factory()->make([...])`, and walk `listTestimonialsAll()`.

```php tests/Feature/ListTestimonialsAnswerTest.php theme={"dark"}
<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace Tests\Feature;

use Fetchski\AttractCmsLaravel\Data\TestimonialList;
use Fetchski\AttractCmsLaravel\Facades\Attract;
use Tests\TestCase;

final class ListTestimonialsAnswerTest extends TestCase
{
    public function test_list_testimonials_answers_your_values(): void
    {
        Attract::fake([
            'testimonials.listTestimonials' => Attract::sequence(
                TestimonialList::factory()->make(['currentPage' => 1, 'pages' => 2]),
                TestimonialList::factory()->make(['currentPage' => 2, 'pages' => 2]),
            ),
        ]);

        $testimonials = Attract::testimonials()->listTestimonialsAll();

        $this->assertCount(2, $testimonials->all());
    }
}
```

To fake `listTestimonialsAll()`, answer `testimonials.listTestimonials` (the walk calls it page by page): a `sequence()` of answers for several pages.
