Installer Package
=================

[](#installer-package)

The intent of the functionality is to simplify the installation process for certain packages, it also allows you to bind packages with each other by types for your application or extension.

In a nutshell
-------------

[](#in-a-nutshell)

All you need is to put this package in dependence and inherit from any of your laravel providers, it can be a package or any provider that you create and inherit from a special abstract provider. You will be able to register your providers, specify their dependencies and sequence, very useful when you need to control the connected parts of the laravel. Also, for comfortable work, there is a mini package manager that is used through the composer to quickly install extensions by filtering them by the specified types, in fact, all dependencies in this installer are based on the types of the composer's package.

Commands
--------

The next step
-------------

[](#the-next-step)

Further, you just need to inherit any of the service providers from `Bfg\Installer\Providers\InstalledProvider` and you have the following functions and provider settings at your disposal:

### Properties

[](#properties)

Property nameProperty descriptionDefaultversionThe version of extension.0.0.1nameThe name of extension.\[provider-class\]childThe child type for sub extensions of extension.`null`typeThe type to determine who owns the extension.bfg-appdescriptionThe description of extension.`null`logoThe logo of extension.`null`### Methods

[](#methods)
