This package provides you with a simple tool to make requests to Safaricom Daraja APIs so that you can focus on the development of your awesome applications instead of all the set up involved.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install via composer

```
composer require starnerz/laravel-daraja
```

### Register Service Provider

[](#register-service-provider)

**Note! This and next step are optional if you use laravel>=5.5 with package auto discovery feature.**

Add service provider to `config/app.php` in `providers` section

```
Starnerz\LaravelDaraja\LaravelDarajaServiceProvider::class,
```

### Register Facade

[](#register-facade)

Register package facade in `config/app.php` in `aliases` section

```
Starnerz\LaravelDaraja\Facades\MpesaApi::class,
```

### Publish Configuration File

[](#publish-configuration-file)

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Starnerz\LaravelDaraja\LaravelDarajaServiceProvider" --tag="config"
```

Fill in all the details you will be requiring for your application. Here are the env variables for quick copy paste.

```
DARAJA_CONSUMER_KEY=
DARAJA_CONSUMER_SECRET=

DARAJA_INITIATOR_NAME=
DARAJA_INITIATOR_CREDENTIAL=
DARAJA_INITIATOR_SHORTCODE=

DARAJA_STK_SHORTCODE=
DARAJA_STK_PASS_KEY=

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

If you have not created your Safaricom API application yet you can create one at [Safaricom Developer](https://developer.safaricom.co.ke/)

Each Safaricom API except Oauth has been implemented as a class on its own which you can use in your code.

```
$STK = new STK();
$STK->push('254727123456','10000','New Purchase','R3F3R3NC3');
```

If you prefer using the facade

```
MpesaApi::STK()->push('254727123456','10000','New Purchase','R3F3R3NC3');
```

If you will be using the C2B Api you can easily register the validation and confirmation URLs through artisan.

```
# php artisan daraja:register-urls
```
