Laravel Integration
-------------------

[](#laravel-integration)

All quiz generator classes now extend Laravel's `Controller` base class, making them ready to use in Laravel applications. Each controller provides:

- **`generate()`**: Returns an HTTP Response with the generated quiz content
- **`download()`**: Returns an HTTP Response with appropriate headers for file download
- **`saveToFile($filename)`**: Saves the quiz to a file (for standalone/CLI usage)

### Example Laravel Routes

[](#example-laravel-routes)

```
// routes/web.php or routes/api.php
use Waterloobae\QuizConverter\CanvasQuizGenerator;
use Waterloobae\QuizConverter\MoodleQuizGenerator;
use Waterloobae\QuizConverter\D2LQuizGenerator;
use Waterloobae\QuizConverter\H5PQuizGenerator;
use Waterloobae\QuizConverter\QTIQuizGenerator;

Route::post('/quiz/canvas/generate', function(Request $request) {
    $generator = new CanvasQuizGenerator();
    $generator->setQuestions($request->input('questions'));
    return $generator->generate();
});

Route::post('/quiz/canvas/download', function(Request $request) {
    $generator = new CanvasQuizGenerator();
    $generator->setQuestions($request->input('questions'));
    return $generator->download();
