laravel-leanpub

Laravel 5 Package to work with Leanpub. Very easy to use. Offers the use of Facades and Dependency Injection

Disclaimer: Leanpub is a service of Ruboss Technology Corporation, a corporation incorporated in British Columbia, Canada. I self-publish a book using their service, but am otherwise not affiliated with them in any way.

Installation

PHP 5.5+ or HHVM 3.3+, and Composer are required.

First, pull in the package through Composer.

$ composer require unicodeveloper/laravel-leanpub

Another alternative is to simply add the following line to the require block of your composer.json file.

"unicodeveloper/laravel-leanpub": "1.0.*"

Then run composer install or composer update to download it and have the autoloader updated.

Add this to your providers array in config/app.php

// Laravel 5: config/app.php

'providers' => [
    ...
    Unicodeveloper\Leanpub\LeanpubServiceProvider::class,
    ...
];

This package also comes with a facade

// Laravel 5: config/app.php

'aliases' => [
    ...
    'Leanpub' => Unicodeveloper\Leanpub\Facades\Leanpub::class,
    ...
]

Publish the config file by running:

php artisan vendor:publish

The config file will now be located at config/leanpub.php.

Configuration

This is the leanpub.php file in the config directory.

/**
 *  Config file that a developer can insert the api key from Leanpub
 */
return [
    'API_KEY' => ''
];

Usage

You'll need your book slug and API key values, both of which can be retrieved by accessing your Leanpub account.

LeanpubManager

This is the class of most interest. It is bound to the ioc container as 'laravel-leanpub' and can be accessed using the Facades\Leanpub facade.

Facades\Leanpub

This facade will dynamically pass static method calls to the 'laravel-leanpub' object in the ioc container which by default is the LeanpubManager class.

Examples

Here you can see an example of just how simple this package is to use.

use Unicodeveloper\Leanpub\Facades\Leanpub;
// or you can alias this in config/app.php like I mentioned initially above

 <p><em>There is no canonical way to use PHP</em>. This website aims to introduce new PHP developers to some topics which they may not discover until it is too late, and aims to give seasoned pros some fresh ideas on those topics they’ve been doing for years without ever reconsidering. This ebook will also not tell you which tools to use, but instead offer suggestions for multiple options, when possible explaining the differences in approach and use-case.</p>\r\n
 <p>This is a living document and will continue to be updated with more helpful information and examples as they become available.</p>
