Scientist for Laravel
Allow the Scientist library to be used with the Laravel PHP framework.
Installation
Require the latest version of Scientist Laravel using Composer.
composer require daylerees/scientist-laravel
Next, add the service provider to the providers section of config/app.php in your Laravel project.
<?php
return [
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Autoloaded Service Providers
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| The service providers listed here will be automatically loaded on the
| request to your application. Feel free to add your own services to
| this array to grant expanded functionality to your applications.
|
*/
'providers' => [
/*
* Application Service Providers...
*/
App\Providers\AppServiceProvider::class,
App\Providers\AuthServiceProvider::class,
App\Providers\EventServiceProvider::class,
App\Providers\RouteServiceProvider::class,
Scientist\Laravel\ScientistServiceProvider::class,
],
];Finally, register the Facade within the aliases section of config/app.php.
<?php
return [
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Class Aliases
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| This array of class aliases will be registered when this application
| is started. However, feel free to register as many as you wish as
| the aliases are "lazy" loaded so they don't hinder performance.
|
*/
'aliases' => [
'URL' => Illuminate\Support\Facades\URL::class,
'Validator' => Illuminate\Support\Facades\Validator::class,
'View' => Illuminate\Support\Facades\View::class,
'Scientist' => Scientist\Laravel\Facade::class,
],
];You're good to go!
