Laravel 5 Facade for Goutte
===========================

[](#laravel-5-facade-for-goutte)

This repository implements a simple [ServiceProvider](https://laravel.com/docs/master/providers) that makes a singleton instance of the Goutte client easily accessible via a [Facade](https://laravel.com/docs/master/facades) in [Laravel 5](http://laravel.com). See [@FriendsOfPHP/Goutte](https://github.com/FriendsOfPHP/Goutte) for more information about the php web scraper and its interfaces.

Installation using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/)
-------------------------------------------------------

[](#installation-using-composer)

In your terminal application move to the root directory of your laravel project using the `cd` command and require the project as a dependency using composer.

```
$ cd ~/Sites/laravel-example-project
$ composer require weidner/goutte:@dev
```

This will add the following lines to your `composer.json` and download the project and its dependencies to your projects `./vendor` directory:

```
// ./composer.json
{
  "name": "weidner/laravel-goutte-test",
  "description": "A dummy project used to test the Laravel Goutte Facade.",

  // ...

  "require": {
    "php": ">=5.5.9",
    "laravel/framework": "5.2.*",
    "weidner/goutte": "@dev",
    // ...
  },

  //...
}
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

In ordet to use the static interface we first have to customize the application configuration to tell the system where it can find the new service. Open the file `config/app.php` in the editor of your choice and add the following lines (`[1]`, `[2]`):

```
// config/app.php

return [

  // ...

  'providers' => [

    // ...

    /*
     * Application Service Providers...
     */
    App\Providers\AppServiceProvider::class,
    App\Providers\AuthServiceProvider::class,
    App\Providers\EventServiceProvider::class,
    App\Providers\RouteServiceProvider::class,
    Weidner\Goutte\GoutteServiceProvider::class, // [1]

  ],

  // ...

  'aliases' => [

    'App' => Illuminate\Support\Facades\App::class,
    'Artisan' => Illuminate\Support\Facades\Artisan::class,

    // ...

    'View' => Illuminate\Support\Facades\View::class,
    'Goutte' => Weidner\Goutte\GoutteFacade::class, // [2]
  ],

];
```

Now you should be able to use the facade within your application. Laravel will autoload the corresponding classes once you use the registered alias.

```
// app/Http/routes.php

Route::get('/', function() {
  $crawler = Goutte::request('GET', 'http://duckduckgo.com/?q=Laravel');
  $url = $crawler->filter('.result__title > a')->first()->attr('href');
  dump($url);
  return view('welcome');
});
```

*TIP:* If you retrieve a "Class 'Goutte' not found"-Exception try to update the autoloader by running `composer dump-autoload` in your project root.
