php - Stripe Usage Record class not found - php

Question

I'm trying to add usage records to my subscription. using the stripe create usage record endpoint (https://stripe.com/docs/api#usage_record_create).
running my function im getting an error returning saying Class 'Stripe\UsageRecord' not found in file I havent defined the namespace because I have beeen accessing it directly referencing stripe using \Stripe\ which I brought in using composer. I've tried a composer update but that didnt seem to do the trick. I'm guessing it's missing the UsageRecord.php file from the composer install but I have no clue where to add a copy of the file to the stripe package
public function stripeUsageRecord()
{
$authUser = auth()->user();
$business = $authUser['business_id'];
$user_amount = Transactions::select("user_id")
->where("business_id", "=", $business)
->groupBy("user_id")->count();
$current_time = Carbon::now()->toDateTimeString();
\Stripe\Stripe::setApiKey(env("STRIPE_SECRET"));
\Stripe\UsageRecord::create(array(
"quantity" => $user_amount,
"timestamp" => $current_time,
"subscription_item" => 'sub_DnAKVwNY2Sc4zf',
"action" => 'set'
));
}

Answer 1

Most likely you're using too old version of this library. Stripe\UsageRecord was introduced in version 6.6.0, so I suggest to update library to the last version:
composer require "stripe/stripe-php:^6.19"
You definitely should not modify content of vendor directory and copy&paste classes from different version of library.

Seemed like I was missing a part of the stripe package.
I found a copy of UsageRecord.php online and created the file in path vendor\stripe\stripe-php\lib\UsageRecord.php
I then added the contents of the code that I found online and added them to the file and it worked. The contents are posted below:
<?php
namespace Stripe;
/**
* Class UsageRecord
*
* #package Stripe
*
* #property string $id
* #property string $object
* #property bool $livemode
* #property int $quantity
* #property string $subscription_item
* #property int $timestamp
*/
class UsageRecord extends ApiResource
{
const OBJECT_NAME = "usage_record";
/**
* #param array|null $params
* #param array|string|null $options
*
* #return \Stripe\ApiResource The created resource.
*/
public static function create($params = null, $options = null)
{
self::_validateParams($params);
if (!array_key_exists('subscription_item', $params)) {
throw new Error\InvalidRequest("Missing subscription_item param in request", null);
}
$subscription_item = $params['subscription_item'];
$url = "/v1/subscription_items/$subscription_item/usage_records";
$request_params = $params;
unset($request_params['subscription_item']);
list($response, $opts) = static::_staticRequest('post', $url, $request_params, $options);
$obj = \Stripe\Util\Util::convertToStripeObject($response->json, $opts);
$obj->setLastResponse($response);
return $obj;
}
}
