Connection Loader for Laravel 5
===============================

[](#connection-loader-for-laravel-5)

Have you ever wanted to add database connections from the backend of a Laravel application without the need to edit the configuration files?

You can then access these connections using their name property's with conventional Laravel techniques.

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

[](#installation)

Install via composer by adding the following line to your `composer.json` file:

```
"laralabs/connection-loader": "~1.0.0"
```

After updating composer you will need to add the ServiceProvider to the providers array in `config/app.php`

```
Laralabs\ConnectionLoader\ConnectionLoaderServiceProvider::class,
```

Once you have added this line to your applications configuration file run the following command the publish the config file to `config/connectionloader.php` and migration file to `database/migrations/2016_05_02_000000_create_connection_loader_table.php`:

```
php artisan vendor:publish
```

```
php artisan migrate
```

Once the database table has been created the configuration file located at `config/connectionloader.php` needs to be altered, here are it's default values:
