Installation

Begin by installing this package through Composer. Edit your project's composer.json file to require cornford/bootstrapper.

"require": {
	"illuminate/html": "5.*",
	"cornford/bootstrapper": "2.*"
}

Next, update Composer from the Terminal:

composer update

Once this operation completes, the next step is to add the required service providers. Open app/config/app.php, and add the new items to the providers array.

'Illuminate\Html\HtmlServiceProvider',
'Cornford\Bootstrapper\BootstrapServiceProvider',

The final step is to introduce the required facades. Open app/config/app.php, and add the new items to the aliases array.

'Form'            => 'Illuminate\Html\FormFacade',
'HTML'            => 'Illuminate\Html\HtmlFacade',
'Bootstrap'       => 'Cornford\Bootstrapper\Facades\Bootstrap',

If you want to introduce the packages JavaScripts and Stylesheets, run the following command to pull them into your project.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Cornford\\Bootstrapper\\BootstrapServiceProvider"

That's it! You're all set to go.
