Square API object creation - php

Question

I am using the square api to search my orders using the following code:
require '../connect-php-sdk-master/autoload.php';
// Configure OAuth2 access token for authorization: oauth2
SquareConnect\Configuration::getDefaultConfiguration()->setAccessToken('MY_AUTH_CODE');
//settings for the searchOrders
$searchOrdersSettings = ([
'location_ids'=>['MY_LOCATION_ID']
]);
$apiInstance = new SquareConnect\Api\OrdersApi();
$body = new \SquareConnect\Model\SearchOrdersRequest($searchOrdersSettings); // \SquareConnect\Model\SearchOrdersRequest | An object containing the fields to POST for the request. See the corresponding object definition for field details.
try {
$result = $apiInstance->searchOrders($body);
/* echo '<pre>';
print_r($result);
echo '<pre>'; */
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo 'Exception when calling OrdersApi->searchOrders: ', $e->getMessage(), PHP_EOL;
}
I would like to set a created_at start and end date but I have no idea how to create 'An object containing the fields to POST for the request'. Can anyone help me out?

Per the Square PHP SDK documentation, you would need to set the query and filter of the query. You can do something like this (tested and working as a small snippet):
require_once(__DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php');
// Configure OAuth2 access token for authorization: oauth2
SquareConnect\Configuration::getDefaultConfiguration()->setAccessToken('ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE');
$apiInstance = new \SquareConnect\Api\OrdersApi();
$body = new \SquareConnect\Model\SearchOrdersRequest();
$body->setLocationIds(['LOCATION_ID_HERE']);
// create query for searching by date
$query = new \SquareConnect\Model\SearchOrdersQuery();
$filter = new \SquareConnect\Model\SearchOrdersFilter();
$date_time_filter = new \SquareConnect\Model\SearchOrdersDateTimeFilter();
$date_time_filter->setCreatedAt([
"start_at" => "2020-03-01T00:00:00Z",
"end_at" => "2020-03-13T00:00:00Z"
]);
//pass the filter and query to the request
$filter->setDateTimeFilter($date_time_filter);
$query->setFilter($filter);
$body->setQuery($query);
try {
$result = $apiInstance->searchOrders($body);
error_log(var_dump($result));
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo 'Exception when calling OrdersApi->searchOrders: ', $e->getMessage(), PHP_EOL;
}
