### For Laravel 5.x, check [version 2.0.0](https://github.com/bradcornford/Bencoded/tree/v2.0.0)

[](#for-laravel-5x-check-version-200)

### For Laravel 4.x, check [version 1.0.0](https://github.com/bradcornford/Bencoded/tree/v1.0.0)

[](#for-laravel-4x-check-version-100)

Think of Bencoded as an easy way to use bencoding with Laravel. These include:

- `Bencoded::encode`
- `Bencoded::decode`

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Begin by installing this package through Composer. Edit your project's `composer.json` file to require `cornford/bencoded`.

```
"require": {
    "cornford/bencoded": "2.*"
}

```

Next, update Composer from the Terminal:

```
composer update

```

Once this operation completes, the next step is to add the service provider. Open `app/config/app.php`, and add a new item to the providers array.

```
'Cornford\Bencoded\Providers\BencodedServiceProvider',

```

The final step is to introduce the facade. Open `app/config/app.php`, and add a new item to the aliases array.

```
'Bencoded'         => 'Cornford\Bencoded\Facades\BencodedFacade',

```

That's it! You're all set to go.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

It's really as simple as using the Bencoded class in any Controller / Model / File you see fit with:

`Bencoded::`

This will give you access to

- [Encode](#encode)
- [Decode](#decode)

### Encode

[](#encode)

The `encode` method encodes an item into a bencoding format.

```
Bencoded::encode([['name' => 'tom'], ['name' => 'jerry']]);

```

### Decode

[](#decode)

The `decode` method decodes a bencoding string into PHP types.

```
Bencoded::decode('ld4:name3:tomed4:name5:jerryee);

```
