### Installation

To begin, install the preferred dependency manager for PHP, [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/).

Now install this component:

```sh
$ composer require google/cloud-document-ai
```

This component supports both REST over HTTP/1.1 and gRPC. In order to take advantage of the benefits offered by gRPC (such as streaming methods)
please see our [gRPC installation guide](https://cloud.google.com/php/grpc).

### Authentication

Please see our [Authentication guide](https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-php/blob/main/AUTHENTICATION.md) for more information
on authenticating your client. Once authenticated, you'll be ready to start making requests.

### Sample

```php
use Google\ApiCore\ApiException;
use Google\Cloud\DocumentAI\V1\Client\DocumentProcessorServiceClient;
use Google\Cloud\DocumentAI\V1\Evaluation;
use Google\Cloud\DocumentAI\V1\GetEvaluationRequest;

// Create a client.
$documentProcessorServiceClient = new DocumentProcessorServiceClient();

// Prepare the request message.
$request = (new GetEvaluationRequest())
    ->setName($formattedName);

// Call the API and handle any network failures.
try {
    /** @var Evaluation $response */
    $response = $documentProcessorServiceClient->getEvaluation($request);
    printf('Response data: %s' . PHP_EOL, $response->serializeToJsonString());
} catch (ApiException $ex) {
    printf('Call failed with message: %s' . PHP_EOL, $ex->getMessage());
}
```

### Debugging

for more information about the debugging tools.
