\#Bree

Bree provides an interface to associate fieldtypes with existing Eloquent model attributes.

*This project is still in an early stage and breaking changes may be made.*

\##Installation

With Laravel 4 and Composer

1. Add `"packettide/bree": "1.x"` to your 'require' block in composer.json
2. Run `composer update`
3. Add `'Packettide\Bree\BreeServiceProvider',` to the $providers array in app/config/app.php
4. Then publish all Bree assets - `php artisan bree:assets`

\##Basic Usage

In this section we'll cover the fundamentals of how to interact with Bree. Bree functions by wrapping an existing Eloquent model and attaching field definitions to model attributes.

### Defining Bree fields within routes/controllers
