> A [Football Data](https://www.football-data.org/) API bridge for Laravel

Install via Composer
--------------------

[](#install-via-composer)

Install the `niccolomeloni/lara-football-data` package via Composer by typing following command:

```
$ composer require niccolomeloni/lara-football-data
```

Service Provider and Facades ( Laravel 5.5 or above )
-----------------------------------------------------

[](#service-provider-and-facades--laravel-55-or-above-)

If you are using Laravel >= 5.5 that's all: this package supports Laravel new [Package Discovery](https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/packages#package-discovery).

Service Provider and Facades ( Laravel 5.4 or below )
-----------------------------------------------------

[](#service-provider-and-facades--laravel-54-or-below-)

You need to add the service provider to your `config/app.php` providers array:

```
'providers' => [
    /* ... */
    Niccolomeloni\LaraFootballData\ApiFootballDataServiceProvider::class,
]
```

Next, you may want to add the facade to your `config/app.php` aliases array:

```
'aliases' => [
    /* ... */
    'LaraFootballData' => Niccolomeloni\LaraFootballData\Facades\ApiFootballData::class,
]
```

Publish the configuration
-------------------------

[](#publish-the-configuration)

Run the following command to publish the package config file:

```
$ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Niccolomeloni\LaraFootballData\ApiFootballDataServiceProvider"
```

You should now have a `config/football-data.php` file that allows you to configure the basics of this package.

Examples
--------

[](#examples)

Here you can see an example of how to use this package with `LaraFootballData` facade:

```
LaraFootballData::competitions($season = "");
LaraFootballData::competition($competitionId)->teams();
LaraFootballData::competition($competitionId)->leagueTable($matchday = "");
LaraFootballData::competition($competitionId)->fixtures($timeFrame= "", $matchday = "");
LaraFootballData::fixtures($timeFrame= "", $matchday = "");
LaraFootballData::fixture($fixtureId, $head2head = "");
LaraFootballData::team($teamId)->fixtures($season = "", $timeFrame = "", $venue = "");
LaraFootballData::team($teamId)->players();
LaraFootballData::get('http://api.football-data.org/v1/...');
```

If you prefer to use dependency injection over facades like me, then you can inject the `ApiFootballDataManager`:

```
namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Niccolomeloni\LaraFootballData\ApiFootballDataManager;

class FooController extends Controller
{
    protected $apiFootballDataManager;

    public function __construct(ApiFootballDataManager $apiFootballDataManager)
    {
        $this->apiFootballDataManager = $apiFootballDataManager;
    }

    public function competitions($season = "")
    {
        $this->apiFootballDataManager->competitions($season);
    }
}
```
