📝 Introduction
--------------

[](#-introduction)

This package is what we in Nodes call the "Core" package. It consists of a lot of helpful methods, which makes it easier to develop other packages and projects in general.

The most important thing about this package, is that it contains a modified version of the default `Exception`. We've tweaked it a little bit, to add support for custom HTTP status codes and messages. These custom HTTP status code are used in all of our projects to return project specific error codes to our mobile developers.

Therefore you will experience that a lot of the Nodes packages will have this core package as a required dependency, since it either utilizes the custom `Exception` or any of our helper methods.

Last but not least, this package also contains the package [Browscap](https://github.com/browscap/browscap-php), which makes it easier to parse user-agents, which is quite handy when used with services like [Bugsnag](http://bugsnag.com).

📦 Installation
--------------

[](#-installation)

To install this package you will need:

- Laravel 5.1+
- PHP 5.5.9+

You must then modify your `composer.json` file and run `composer update` to include the latest version of the package in your project.

```
"require": {
    "nodes/core": "^1.0"
}
```

Or you can run the composer require command from your terminal.

```
composer require nodes/core
```

🔧 Setup
-------

[](#-setup)

Setup provider in `config/app.php`

```
Nodes\ServiceProvider::class,
```

Setup alias in `config/app.php` (optional)

```
'NodesUserAgent' => Nodes\Support\Facades\UserAgent::class,
```

Publish config files

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Nodes\ServiceProvider"
```

If you want to overwrite any existing config files use the `--force` paramter

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Nodes\ServiceProvider" --force
```

Notes
-----

[](#notes)

If you are using the `Nodes\Http\Request\FormRequest` present in this class, you will notice that on Web calls if validation fails it will report the exception (this does not interfere with the UX). This can be avoided by adding `Illuminate\Validation\ValidationException` to the `$dontReport` array on `app/Exceptions/Handler.php`. This is not needed for API calls since the exception will be `Nodes\Validation\Exceptions\ValidationException` and this does not report by default.
