README

QBWC Laravel is a Laravel-flavored QuickBooks Web Connector package. This library is still a work in progress but is largely complete and stable, offering communication with QuickBooks Desktop through SOAP services.

Installation

To install the package, run:

composer require aarongrtech/qbwc-laravel

Ensure that your composer.json includes the necessary autoload settings:

"autoload": {
    "psr-4": {
        "AaronGRTech\\QbwcLaravel\\": "./src/AaronGRTech/QbwcLaravel"
    }
},
"extra": {
    "laravel": {
        "providers": [
            "AaronGRTech\\QbwcLaravel\\Providers\\QbwcServiceProvider"
        ]
    }
}

After updating Composer, add the service provider to the config/app.php file:

'providers' => [
    // Other Service Providers

    AaronGRTech\QbwcLaravel\Providers\QbwcServiceProvider::class,
],

Usage
