Installation ------------ [](#installation) The Alchemy Service Provider can be installed via [Composer](http://getcomposer.org) by requiring the `lexismith/laravel-alchemy` package in your project's `composer.json`. ``` { "require": { "lexismith/laravel-alchemy": "dev-master" } } ``` Then run a composer update ``` php composer.phar update ``` To use the Alchemy Service Provider, you must register the provider when bootstrapping your Laravel application. Find the `providers` key in your `config/app.php` and register the service provider. ``` 'providers' => array( // ... 'LexiSmith\LaravelAlchemy\AlchemyServiceProvider', ) ``` Find the `aliases` key in your `config/app.php` and add the Alchemy facade alias. ``` 'aliases' => array( // ... 'Alchemy' => 'LexiSmith\LaravelAlchemy\AlchemyFacade', ) ``` Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) By default, the package uses the following environment variables to auto-configure the plugin without modification: ``` API_KEY BASE_URL ``` To customize the configuration file, publish the package configuration using Artisan. ``` php artisan vendor:publish ``` Update your settings in the generated `app/config/alchemy.php` configuration file or by editing your environment variables accordingly in `.env` ``` return [ 'url' => env('ALCHEMY_URL', 'http://access.alchemyapi.com/calls'), 'key' => env('ALCHEMY_API_KEY') ]; ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) All functions accept three parameters: 1. `$flavor` that describes the type of content being passed. For each function, the options for `$flavor` are given. 2. `$data` that is given in the form of the `$flavor`. 3. `$options` that specify options for each specific function, as described below. #### Emotion [](#emotion) Tags the concepts for test, a URL, or HTML.
