library laravel-require

patinthehat/laravel-require

Add a package with composer, and automatically registers the service provider.

## laravel-require

This Laravel 5 package provides a require:package artisan command, which first installs a package via composer, then attempts to automatically register its service provider(s) and facades., _(*1)

This makes it even easier to install a Laravel package!, _(*2)

Written and tested with Laravel 5.4., _(*3)

Installation

You may install this package using composer: composer require patinthehat/laravel-require, _(*4)

Once it's installed, you must add the service provider to the 'providers' section in your config/app.php file:, _(*5)

LaravelRequire\LaravelRequireServiceProvider::class,

You will now have a require:package {package-name} command available in artisan. It will attempt to automatically register the service provider for a package after installation, and will let you know if it is unable to do so. If this happens, you will have to register the package manually., _(*6)

Requirements

In order for laravel-require to work properly, you must either have composer.phar in your project's base directory or have the composer command available in your environment's PATH variable., _(*7)

Example Usage

$ php artisan require:package laracasts/flash

This installs and registers the flash package from laracasts., _(*8)

$ php artisan require:package laracasts/flash --register-only

This will skip running the composer require command entirely, and only attempt to register the package's Service Providers and Facades., _(*9)

How it works

laravel-require first creates a list of files in the package that might contain a Service Provider or Facade. It first attempts to locate Service Providers/Facades through matching filenames. If this fails, the contents of the files are scanned to locate the Service Providers and Facades., _(*10)
