Accessing core data

Much of the data in tabs2 has dependencies on common data such as Branding, Booking Brand or Mimetype for example.

Below is a list of some of the common data types in tabs2. It is a good idea to cache these to reduce your api calls.

try {

    $lists = array(
        'AttributeGroup',
        'Attribute',
        'Brochure',
        'Extra',

        'AccountingPeriod',
        'AccountValueType',
        'BrandSource',
        'BookingBrand',
        'MarketingBrand',
        'BrandingGroup',
        'Branding',
        'Country',
        'DescriptionType',
        'DocumentTag',
        'Grouping',
        'InstructionType',
        'Language',
        'PriceType',
        'Currency',
        'Encoding',
        'Mimetype',

        'Vatrate',
        'Vatband',

        'WebsiteSection'
    );

    foreach ($lists as $list) {

        if ($list == 'Attribute') {
            $collection = \tabs\apiclient\Collection::factory(
                'attribute',
                new \tabs\apiclient\AttributeBoolean
            );
            $collection->setDiscriminator('type')

                );

        } else {
            $ns = "\\tabs\\apiclient\\$list";
            $obj = new $ns;
            $collection = \tabs\apiclient\Collection::factory(
                $obj->getCreateUrl(),
                $obj
            );
        }

        $collection->fetch();

        include __DIR__ . '/../collection.php';
