Loading Mailjet API - kcs - 09-29-2022

Hi everyone,
I am trying to create a newsletter subscription form using the Mailjet API. I have never used an API before and don't really know what I am doing wrong, but it looks like I am not even able to load the Mailjet class and would really appreciate some help.
My form as just 2 text input, one for email address and a hidden one for the locale I will need later.
I am following the documentation https://github.com/mailjet/mailjet-apiv3-php.

I installed the wrapper with composer. I now have a mailjet folder in my vendor folder
I got the 2 API keys from my Mailjet account, and stored them inside .env as MJ_APIKEY_PUBLIC and MJ_APIKEY_PRIVATE
I created a form controller and form view with the fields I need, and validations are in place

I am now trying to add Mailjet to the controller, so that when the validations are okay, I can make the API call to add the email to my Mailjet contacts. But I have no idea how to do this as I keep running into errors (or nothing which does not tell me what's happening).
The documentation says to initalise the Mailjet client like this:

Code:
use \Mailjet\Resources;

$apikey = getenv('MJ_APIKEY_PUBLIC');

$apisecret = getenv('MJ_APIKEY_PRIVATE');

$mj = new \Mailjet\Client($apikey, $apisecret);

Here's my controller:

PHP Code:
<?php

namespace App\Controllers;

use \Mailjet\Resources;

class FormController extends BaseController
{

    public function index()
    {
        // load form validation library
        helper(['form']);
        // the form has been posted
        if($this->request->getPost()) {
            // we define the rules for the different fields
            $rules = [
                'email' => 'required|valid_email',
                'lang' => 'required|in_list[en,fr]'
            ];
            // rules are validated
            if($this->validate($rules)){
                $mj = new \Mailjet\Client(getenv('MJ_APIKEY_PUBLIC'), getenv('MJ_APIKEY_PRIVATE'), true, ['version' => 'v3']);  
                // do the api call and display the subscribed view
                                                                                                                                  return view('subscribed', $this->viewData);
          
            } else {
                $this->viewData['validation'] = $this->validator;
                return view('form', $this->viewData);
            }
        }

        return view('form', $this->viewData);
    }
} 

But when I look at the loaded files on the debug console, I don't see anything related to Mailjet ; and already inside my IDE, I can see that the use clause remains grey (if I use \codeigniter it appears white), so I am thinking something is missing at this point, or I am not doing things the way I should.

Can someone help me out?

I believe the first slash on 'use \Mailjet\Resources;' should be 'use Mailjet\Resources', doesn't Mailjet have a Exception handler to check if something has gone wrong with the communication?

Why don't you show the code for the api call in the controller?

Thank you so much, that was it Smile

I was not seeing anything return as the example seems to only show the result when it works with this line:

Code:
$response->success() && var_dump($response->getData());

But I was not seeing anything... and since I don't really understand what I am doing for now... I have no idea how to try something different than what I am getting from the documentation explicitly.

Sorry I thought it was not relevant at this point. Thanks for your help
