#Shopping User Authentication Library Laravel package to help with consuming the Shopp!ng API

Laravel 4.2 and Above

You may install this package by either of the following ways:

1. Through Composer -- edit your project's composer.json file to require shopping/shoppi.

Next, update Composer by running: composer update --dev

1. Directly through command line, -- run composer require shopping/shoppi:dev-master

Once the operation completes, the final step is to add the service provider. Open app/config/app.php, and add a new item to the providers array.

'Shopping\Shoppi\ShoppiServiceProvider'

To optionally make your experience easier, you may also add Shopping\Shoppi\Shopping to the Facades array list.

That's all! You are now set to authenticate to the Shopp!ng API.

Basic Authentication Example

To authenticate a user, it is required that you supply a username and password that the user will be authenticated with. This may be flashed to the Session with the password encrypted internally using Laravel Bcrypt class or sent directly to the Shopping::authenticate method.

E.g. to login a user

if(Shopping::authenticate($email, $password))
{
  dd(Session::get('apiUser');
}

The above code should dump the user's detail as stored in the session after API authentication.
