The Laravel Package Manager provides fast, yet simple management of packages for your Laravel project.
It allows you to quickly install a package via composer, if necessary, and then automatically register any or all Service Providers and Facades provided by the package.
To install, first install with composer:
composer require patinthehat/laravel-package-manager
Then, register the service provider by editing config/app.php and adding:
LaravelPackageManager\LaravelPackageManagerServiceProvider::class,
to the $providers array.
That's it! You now have access to the package manager commands through artisan.
To install (via composer) a package and register any service providers or Facades it provides, use the package:require command:
package:require <package-name> [-r|--register-only] [-d|--dev]
The --register-only option skips the composer installation step.
The --dev option allows you to install the package in your development dependencies.
To unregister service providers and facades associated with a package, use the package:unregister command:
package:unregister <package-name>
You will be prompted for each Service Provider and Facade, and asked if you would like to unregister it. This does not remove the package from your vendor/ directory.
