lightshire / laravel-paypal by imcorleone

###OVERVIEW This paypal laravel wrapper is created for simultaneous or bulk differentials in the paypal sandbox. This is a pet project for my own REST API for a reservation system. (LOLS)

###INSTALLATION add the following from your composer.json

	"lightshire/laravel-paypal": "dev-master"

####SERVICE PROVIDER

	'providers'	=> array(
			'Lightshire\Paypal\PaypalServiceProvider',
			'Lightshire\Paypal\IpnServiceProvider'
		)

####FACADE

'facades' 	=> array(
			'Paypal'		=> 'Lightshire\Paypal\Facades\Facade',
			'IpnListener'	=> 'Lightshire\Paypal\Facades\IpnListenerFacade'
		)

#####Uses -there is no definite use as of the moment!

####deploying config files You could easily deploy the config files by running

	php artisan config:publish lightshire/laravel-paypal

you should see the following

	return array(
			'endpoint' 		=> 'api.sandbox.paypal.com',
			'client_id'		=> 'nil',
			'secret' 		=> 'nil',
			'mode' 			=> 'sandbox'
		);

change mode with live or sandbox depending on your paypal configuration.

Once you have already created your own paypal application you will be given a Client ID and a Secret. Those values should replace the nil inside the array.

####Adding pre-made artisan commands an artisan command command:paypalconfig was created in order to easily edit the embedded sdk_config.ini of the paypal API. to install:

add the following to app/start/artisan.php

Artisan::add(new Lightshire\Paypal\PaypalConfig);

####Initiating a Paypal instance connection To initiate a paypal instance, after all configuration

Paypal::make();

since there will only be one instance per connection, directly creating an nstance via new Paypal would not override the instance, instead run the make method. To get the current instance, connect via:

Paypal::getInstance()

###Using the Instant Payment Notification of Paypal for secure transactions paypal requires to have a vaiable callback to initiate an IPNListener

example

$mode 		= Config::get('laravel-paypal::config.mode');
$listener 	= new IpnListener();

if($mode == 'sandbox') {
	$listener->use_sandbox = true;
}

try {
	$verified = $listener->processIpn();
}catch(Exception $exs) {
	//an error occured
	exit(0);
}

if($verified) {
	//verified
}else {
	//not verified
}

You could also directly wait for a confirmation that would return true or false by using

Paypal::IPNConfirmer()
