Installation

Require via composer.

$ composer require pigeon/pigeon-laravel

Laravel

The package will be discovered for Laravel >=5.5. For Laravel <=5.4, add package to the list of service providers in config/app.php

'providers' => [
    // ...
    Pigeon\Laravel\PigeonServiceProvider::class,
];

Add the Pigeon facade alias in your config/app.php.

'aliases' => [
    // ...
    'Pigeon' => Pigeon\Laravel\PigeonFacade::class,
];

Lumen

In Lumen, find the Register Service Providers in your bootstrap/app.php and register the Pigeon Service Provider.

$app->register(Pigeon\Laravel\PigeonServiceProvider::class);

Configuration

By default, the package uses PIGEON_PUBLIC_KEY and PIGEON_PRIVATE_KEY environment variables. To customize the configuration file, publish the package configuration using Artisan.

php artisan vendor:publish  --provider="Pigeon\Laravel\PigeonServiceProvider" --tag="config"

or if using Laravel 5.5:

php artisan vendor:publish

The settings can be found in the generated config/pigeon.php configuration file. By default, the keys would be retrieved from your .env file.

Usage
