======

[](#civics)

US Naturalization Test Flash Cards. Because.. ignorance is not cool :-)

This Laravel 5+ package provides an easy drop-in package to help you brush up on your (US) civic knowledge.

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

[](#installation)

Within your laravel 5 project,

```
composer require "mnshankar/civics"

```

(Use Tag v0.9 for Laravel 5.0 and 5.1 and Use Tag v1.0 for Laravel 5.2)

Next, add the service provider to your providers array in app/config/app.php:

```
mnshankar\civics\CivicsServiceProvider::class,

```

The application can then be accessed by appending "/civics" after your base url:

```
http://{your-app-base-url}/civics

```

Optional
--------

[](#optional)

Publish your view file to change the look-and-feel of the displayed flashcards

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="mnshankar/civics/CivicsServiceProvider"

```

Features
--------

[](#features)

1. Randomized order of questions
2. Uses a self-contained sqlite database installed along with the package
3. Seed file for list of questions is provided. So, if/when answers to questions do change, updating the system is as easy as updating the seed file and reseeding like so:

```
php artisan db:seed --class=mnshankar\civics\seeds\QuestionSeeder

```
