# Laravel Facade for Goutte
This repository implements a simple [ServiceProvider](https://laravel.com/docs/master/providers) that makes a singleton instance of the Goutte client easily accessible via a [Facade](https://laravel.com/docs/master/facades) in [Laravel](http://laravel.com). See [@FriendsOfPHP/Goutte](https://github.com/FriendsOfPHP/Goutte) for more information about the PHP web scraper and its interfaces.
## Installation using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/)
In your terminal application move to the root directory of your laravel project using the `cd` command and require the project as a dependency using composer.
```sh
$ cd ~/Sites/laravel-example-project
$ composer require weidner/goutte
```
This will add the following lines to your `composer.json` and download the project and its dependencies to your projects `./vendor` directory:
```json
// ./composer.json
{
"name": "weidner/laravel-goutte-test",
"description": "A dummy project used to test the Laravel Goutte Facade.",
// ...
"require": {
"php": "^7.2",
"laravel/framework": "^8",
"weidner/goutte": "^2",
// ...
},
//...
}
```
## Usage
In order to use the static interface we first have to customize the application configuration to tell the system where it can find the new service. Open the file `config/app.php` in the editor of your choice and add the following lines (`[1]`, `[2]`):
```php
// config/app.php
return [
// ...
'providers' => [
// ...
/*
* Package Service Providers...
*/
Weidner\Goutte\GoutteServiceProvider::class, // [1] This will register the Package in the laravel echo system
/*
* Application Service Providers...
*/
App\Providers\AppServiceProvider::class,
App\Providers\AuthServiceProvider::class,
App\Providers\EventServiceProvider::class,
App\Providers\RouteServiceProvider::class,
],
// ...
'aliases' => [
'App' => Illuminate\Support\Facades\App::class,
'Artisan' => Illuminate\Support\Facades\Artisan::class,
// ...
'Goutte' => Weidner\Goutte\GoutteFacade::class, // [2] It will register as an alias for the Goutte facade
'Hash' => Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash::class,
// ...
],
];
```
Now you should be able to use the facade within your application. Laravel will autoload the corresponding classes once you use the registered alias.
```php
// routes/web.php
Route::get('/', function() {
$crawler = Goutte::request('GET', 'https://duckduckgo.com/html/?q=Laravel');
$crawler->filter('.result__title .result__a')->each(function ($node) {
dump($node->text());
});
return view('welcome');
});
```
*TIP:* If you retrieve a "Class 'Goutte' not found"-Exception try to update the autoloader by running `composer dump-autoload` in your project root.
*TIP:* You can use the package with [Lumen](https://lumen.laravel.com/) as well. Register the `GoutteServiceProvider` in `bootstrap/app.php` and provide the missing path to your configuration directory in your `AppServiceProvider` (ref [\#34](https://github.com/dweidner/laravel-goutte/issues/34/)).
## Configuration
You can customize the default request options to apply to each request of the client. Copy the default configuration to your application directory first:
```sh
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Weidner\Goutte\GoutteServiceProvider"
```
Open the created file in the `config/goutte.php` and customize the configuration options to your liking.
```php
<?php
return [
'client' => [
'max_redirects' => 0,
],
];
```
