Rinvex Support
==============

[](#rinvex-support)

**Rinvex Support** contains helpers, contracts, and traits required by various Rinvex packages. Validator functionality, and basic controller included out-of-the-box.

⚠️ This package is **renamed** and now maintained at **[rinvex/laravel-support](https://github.com/rinvex/laravel-support)**, author suggests using the new package instead. Old package supportes up to Laravel v5.6, and the new one supports Laravel v5.7+
