    Pigeon\Laravel\PigeonServiceProvider::class,
];

```

Add the Pigeon facade alias in your `config/app.php`.

```
'aliases' => [
    // ...
    'Pigeon' => Pigeon\Laravel\PigeonFacade::class,
];

```

In Lumen, find the `Register Service Providers` in your `bootstrap/app.php` and register the Pigeon Service Provider.

```
$app->register(Pigeon\Laravel\PigeonServiceProvider::class);

```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

By default, the package uses `PIGEON_PUBLIC_KEY` and `PIGEON_PRIVATE_KEY` environment variables. To customize the configuration file, publish the package configuration using Artisan.

```
php artisan vendor:publish  --provider="Pigeon\Laravel\PigeonServiceProvider" --tag="config"

```

or if using Laravel 5.5:

```

The settings can be found in the generated `config/pigeon.php` configuration file. By default, the keys would be retrieved from your .env file.
