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

[](#installation)

PHP 7.2 and Laravel/Lumen 5.7 or higher are required.

> If your application does not meet these requirements, you can check out the 3.x branch for older releases.

```
composer require --dev mpociot/laravel-apidoc-generator
```

### Laravel

[](#laravel)

Publish the config file by running:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Mpociot\ApiDoc\ApiDocGeneratorServiceProvider" --tag=apidoc-config
```

This will create an `apidoc.php` file in your `config` folder.

### Lumen

[](#lumen)

- When using Lumen, you will need to run `composer require mpociot/laravel-apidoc-generator` instead.
- Register the service provider in your `bootstrap/app.php`:

```
$app->register(\Mpociot\ApiDoc\ApiDocGeneratorServiceProvider::class);
```

- Copy the config file from `vendor/mpociot/laravel-apidoc-generator/config/apidoc.php` to your project as `config/apidoc.php`. Then add to your `bootstrap/app.php`:

```
$app->configure('apidoc');
```
