It includes an optional lightbox/swipeable photo gallery.

The package will automatically register itself.

Now publish the configuration file and example view:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Sunscreem\LaravelFlickrGallery\LaravelFlickrGalleryServiceProvider"

Now add the following route to your routes\web.php file:

Route::get('/gallery', function () {
     return view('vendor.laravel-flickr-gallery.simple-photo-gallery');
 });

Finally perform the migration:

Here's a guide on finding your Flickr ID.
