# Without the facade

The facade is the recommended default, not the only way in. It is sugar over RoundlyConsulting\\Plausible\\PlausibleManager — the facade root, bound as a container singleton. Inject the manager through the constructor for the same API as an explicit dependency with no static calls, or call the plausible() helper, which returns the same instance:

```php
use RoundlyConsulting\Plausible\PlausibleManager;

final class DashboardController
{
    public function __construct(private PlausibleManager $plausible) {}

    public function __invoke()
    {
        return $this->plausible->stats()->for('my-site.com')->last30Days()->aggregate();
    }
}

plausible()->sites()->list();   // the helper returns the same singleton
```

## Resource clients instead of actions

Plausible is a remote API, so there are no action classes: each area is a resource client resolved from the container, which you can also inject or rebind directly:

| Facade method | Resource client | Covers |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `stats()` | `Repositories\StatsRepository` | Fluent builder, explicit requests, Stats v2 run(). |
| `events()` | `Repositories\EventsRepository` | Pageviews, custom events, queued and batched capture. |
| `sites()` | `Repositories\SitesRepository` | create, get, list, update, delete. |
| `goals()` | `Repositories\GoalsRepository` | create, list, delete. |
| `sharedLinks()` | `Repositories\SharedLinksRepository` | create, createFrom. |

Plausible::fake() replaces the manager behind the facade and in the container, so an injected PlausibleManager and plausible() are recorded too. Go through the manager when you want a call to show up in the fake’s assertions.
