laravel-wikipedia

Laravel Package to work with Wikipedia. Very easy to use. Offers the use of Facades and Dependency Injection

Installation

PHP 5.5+ or HHVM 3.3+, and Composer are required.

First, pull in the package through Composer.

$ composer require unicodeveloper/laravel-wikipedia

Another alternative is to simply add the following line to the require block of your composer.json file.

"unicodeveloper/laravel-wikipedia": "1.0.*"

Then run composer install or composer update to download it and have the autoloader updated.

And then include these service providers within config/app.php

'providers' => [
    ...
    Unicodeveloper\Larapedia\WikiRandServiceProvider::class,
    ...
];

This package also comes with a Facade

'aliases' => [
    ...
    'WikiRand' => Unicodeveloper\Larapedia\WikiRandFacade::class,
    ...
]

Run the following command, it creates a config/wikirand.php in your laravel app. You can modify the configuration

    php artisan vendor:publish

Usage

Use it like so:

For those that love Facades immensely, I have provided the cake for you 😄 like so:
