The Redbean Implementation for Laravel 4
========================================

[](#the-redbean-implementation-for-laravel-4)

\[Redbean PHP\] () is an ORM solution for PHP which is extremely easy to use, flexible in its execution, and powerful in its results.

This composer package enables RedbeanPHP for Laravel 4.

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

[](#installation)

Installation is easy. In your composer.json file, add

```
"lj4/redbean-laravel4": "dev-master"
```

in your "require" section. Then, in app/config/app.php, add

```
'Lj4\RedbeanLaravel4\RedbeanLaravel4ServiceProvider'
```

in your providers array and

```
'R' => 'Redbean\R',
```

in your aliases array. That's it!

Namespaces?
-----------

[](#namespaces)

If you are wondering why this implementation has namespaces, I've converted the rb.php file to namespaced one with a few tweaks to \[this file\] ([http://redbeanphp.com/extra/php\_5\_3\_namespaces](http://redbeanphp.com/extra/php_5_3_namespaces)).
