Support for Link token creation

I propose that we add support for the /link/token/create endpoint similar to what is offered in the official Node sdk.

Happy to take this one myself, but please feel free to leave feedback here.

@ChrisHawley Thanks for stepping up. I actually started working on this last night after @elliotkoss reported it in issue #16 .

My proposed updates, causing the least amount of breaking change:

  • Alter constructor signature to allow $public_key to be null with a default value of null: ?string $public_key = null
  • Add new createLinkToken method.

The only thing the public key was being used for were a couple Plaid endpoints that didn't need client credentials, so instead they required your public key. However, those endpoint look to have been updated as well to need client credentials, making the $public_key property completely unnecessary, except to maintain backwards compatibility.

Not sure why Plaid didn't release all these changes into a new API version - but here we are.

👍 Sounds like a good approach to me. Let me take a whack at it and we can go from there.

I had some time over the weekend to implement most of the above. Will be pushing to dev-master.

Ahh ok -- I did much of this as well, but aa3e6ed looks stellar. Closing as resolved. 👍
