Laravel Commander
=================

[](#laravel-commander)

This package gives you an easy way to leverage commands and domain events in your Laravel projects.

> Laravel 5 users: this package is no longer required, as the framework includes its own flexible command bus out of the box.

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

[](#installation)

Per usual, install Commander through Composer.

```
"require": {
    "laracasts/commander": "~1.0"
}
```

Next, update `app/config/app.php` to include a reference to this package's service provider in the providers array.

```
'providers' => [
    'Laracasts\Commander\CommanderServiceProvider'
]
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Easily, the most important piece of advice I can offer is to keep in mind that this approach isn't for everything. If you're building a simple CRUD app that does not have much business logic, then you likely don't need this. Still want to move ahead? Okay - onward!

### The Goal

[](#the-goal)

Imagine that you're building an app for advertising job listings. Now, when an employer posts a new job listing, a number of things need to happen, right? Well, don't put all that stuff into your controller! Instead, let's leverage commands, handlers, and domain events to clean up our code.

### The Controller

[](#the-controller)

To begin, we can inject this package's `CommanderTrait` into your controller (or a BaseController, if you wish). This will give you a couple helper methods to manage the process of passing commands to the command bus.
