README

First, you need to install the package via Composer. Run the following command in your terminal:

composer require blue-hex/laravel-azure-di

Configuration

After installing the package, you may need to publish the configuration file. This can typically be done using the following Artisan command:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="BlueHex\LaravelAzureDI\LaravelAzureDIServiceProvider"

This command will publish a configuration file named azure-di.php to your config directory. You should then add your Azure Document Intelligence credentials to this configuration file.

Usage

Here’s a basic example of how you might use the package in a Laravel controller:

<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use BlueHex\LaravelAzureDI\Facades\AzureDI;

class DocumentController extends Controller
{
    public function analyzeDocument(Request $request)
    {
        $file = $request->file('document');

        // Assuming the package has a method to analyze documents
        $result = AzureDI::make()->analyzeDocument($file->getPathname());

        return response()->json($result);
    }
}

Routes

You can define a route to handle the document upload and analysis:

use App\Http\Controllers\DocumentController;

Route::post('/analyze-document', [DocumentController::class, 'analyzeDocument']);

Frontend Form

Here’s a simple HTML form to upload a document:

<form action="/analyze-document" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    @csrf
    <input type="file" name="document" required>
    <button type="submit">Analyze Document</button>
</form>

Important Notes

• Polling
  • The Azure Document Intelligence API is asynchronous and our package will poll the API until the analysis is complete.
  • You may need to increase max_execution_time in your php.ini file to allow the package to poll the API for longer periods of time.
  • Recommended value: max_execution_time = 300
  • You can also use laravel's queue system to handle the polling in the background. ( need help in coming up with an instruction on thi. )
