Utility package to handle the tedium of setting up a custom web service for Alexa skills.

Setup
-----

[](#setup)

1. Require the package `composer require syousoufov/alexa-skills-php`
2. Attach the service provider to `config/app.php`:

    ```
        // ..etc
        /*
         * Third Party Service Providers
         */
        AlexaPHP\Providers\AlexaServiceProvider::class,
        // ..etc
    ```
3. Publish the `alexa-skills-php` config with `php artisan vendor:publish --provider="AlexaPHP\Providers\AlexaServiceProvider"` and change the required values. The defaults for everything except `application_id` should work just fine.
4. Add the route middleware to the `$routeMiddleware` stack in `app/Http/Kernel.php`:

    ```
        /**
         * The application's route middleware.
         *
         * @var array
         */
        protected $routeMiddleware = [
            'alexa'    => \AlexaPHP\Middleware\AlexaRequestMiddleware::class,
        ];
    ```
5. Routes can now be served through the middleware:

    ```
    $router->group(
        ['middleware' => ['alexa'],], function (Router $router) {
            $router->post('alexa', 'AlexaSkillsController@handleAlexaRequest');
    });
    ```

Handling requests and returning responses
-----------------------------------------

[](#handling-requests-and-returning-responses)

Alexa requests can be routed to a single controller method which can act as a funnel to pass the request to appropriate handlers.
