Patreon support for Symfony HWIOAuthBundle

[ninsky]

Hello

There are many users out there using the PHP Symfony framework (22.4k stars on Github). There's also an excellent extension called HWIOAuthBundle for Symfony to provide easy OAuth integrations for currently 58 platforms like Google, Twitter, Amazon or Twitch.

Instead of trying to integrate patreon-php it would be nice to have Patreon as another platform on HWIOAuthBundle. From a framework user's perspective it would be just a matter of adding some parameters to use Patreons's OAuth system. There's already an issue on the HWIOAuthBundle repo asking for such an integration.

My coding skills may not be strong enough to provide a full integration for Patreon but I would be happy to help out if someone (or a Patreon developer?) would implement such an integration.

Best regards
Nino

Adding a parameter to Patreon's oAuth is pretty unlikely. But anyone who wants to integrate the PHP lib with any other application is more than welcome to do so using the PHP library. I would recommend doing so from the master or a specific release, but there are also forks which people have made from the library to add more advanced features. I would suggest that using the core, lightweight PHP lib would be much easier and maintainable in the long term.
