Very easy to use. Offers the use of Facades and Dependency Injection Installation ------------ [](#installation) [PHP](https://php.net) 5.5+ or [HHVM](http://hhvm.com) 3.3+, and [Composer](https://getcomposer.org) are required. First, pull in the package through Composer. ``` $ composer require unicodeveloper/laravel-wikipedia ``` Another alternative is to simply add the following line to the require block of your `composer.json` file. ``` "unicodeveloper/laravel-wikipedia": "1.0.*" ``` Then run `composer install` or `composer update` to download it and have the autoloader updated. And then include these service providers within `config/app.php` ``` 'providers' => [ ... Unicodeveloper\Larapedia\WikiRandServiceProvider::class, ... ]; ``` This package also comes with a Facade ``` 'aliases' => [ ... 'WikiRand' => Unicodeveloper\Larapedia\WikiRandFacade::class, ... ] ``` Run the following command, it creates a `config/wikirand.php` in your laravel app. You can modify the configuration ``` php artisan vendor:publish ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) Use it like so: For those that love Facades immensely, I have provided the cake for you 😄 like so: ``` {{ WikiRand::getFirstSentence() }} // returns 5321 Jagras è un asteroide della fascia principale. {{ WikiRand::getApiLanguage() }} // returns it {{ WikiRand::getId() }} // returns 812464 {{ WikiRand::getTitle() }} // returns 5321 Jagras {{ WikiRand::getLink() }} // returns http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/5321_Jagras {{ WikiRand::getNChar(25) }} // 5321 Jagras è un asteroide... {{ WikiRand::getCategoriesRelated() }} // returns array(3) { [0]=> string(42) "Asteroidi della fascia principale centrale" [1]=> string(31) "Corpi celesti scoperti nel 1985" [2]=> string(16) "Stub - asteroidi" } {{ WikiRand::getOtherLangLinks() }} // returns array(10) { [0]=> array(3) { ["lang"]=> string(2) "en" ["url"]=> string(40) "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5321_Jagras" ["*"]=> string(11) "5321 Jagras" } [1]=> array(3) { ["lang"]=> string(2) "eo" ["url"]=> string(41) "http://eo.wikipedia.org/wiki/5321_Jagraso" ["*"]=> string(12) "5321 Jagraso" } [2]=> array(3) { ["lang"]=> string(2) "fa" ["url"]=> string(84) "http://fa.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D8%B3%DB%8C%D8%A7%D8%B1%DA%A9_%DB%B5%DB%B3%DB%B2%DB%B1" ["*"]=> string(19) "سیا" } [3]=> array(3) { ["lang"]=> string(2) "hu" ["url"]=> string(40) "http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/5321_Jagras" ["*"]=> string(11) "5321 Jagras" } [4]=> array(3) { ["lang"]=> string(2) "hy" ["url"]=> string(72) "http://hy.wikipedia.org/wiki/(5321)_%D5%8B%D5%A1%D5%A3%D6%80%D5%A1%D5%BD" ["*"]=> string(19) "(5321) Ջագրաս" } [5]=> array(3) { ["lang"]=> string(2) "la" ["url"]=> string(40) "http://la.wikipedia.org/wiki/5321_Jagras" ["*"]=> string(11) "5321 Jagras" } [6]=> array(3) { ["lang"]=> string(2) "oc" ["url"]=> string(40) "http://oc.wikipedia.org/wiki/5321_Jagras" ["*"]=> string(11) "5321 Jagras" } [7]=> array(3) { ["lang"]=> string(2) "pl" ["url"]=> string(42) "http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/(5321)_Jagras" ["*"]=> string(13) "(5321) Jagras" } [8]=> array(3) { ["lang"]=> string(2) "pt" ["url"]=> string(40) "http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/5321_Jagras" ["*"]=> string(11) "5321 Jagras" } [9]=> array(3) { ["lang"]=> string(2) "uk" ["url"]=> string(64) "http://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/5321_%D0%AF%D2%91%D1%80%D0%B0%D1%81" ["*"]=> string(15) "5321 Яґрас" } } {{ WikiRand::getPlainTextArticle() }} // returns 5321 Jagras è un asteroide della fascia principale.
