Laravel Package Support for Lumen: Makes Lumen compatible with Laravel Packages. You can use any Laravel Packages in Lumen by installing Larasupport Package.

Laravel Packages make use of various global helpers that are not available in Lumen core by default which prevents us from using any Laravel Package in Lumen.

This package adds the missing pieces to make Lumen compatible along with the support for vendor:publish artisan command and other features.

Quick Start

Install

You can add the package directly by firing this command

$ composer require vinothvipin/lumenArtisanService

Add Service Provider

Add this service provider to your bootstrap/app.php file.

$app->register(vinothvipin\lumenArtisanService\Providers\ArtisanServiceProvider::class);

Artisan Service Provider is an optional provider required only if you want vendor:publish command working.

And you're done! You can now start installing any Laravel Package out there :)

Available Methods

These helpers can be used across your Lumen project, not only with Laravel Packages.
