A drop-in integration for Laravel 5+ to allow use of Agile Data natively.

First install via composer

composer require "atk4/laravel-ad"

Next, add the ServiceProvider to the providers array in config/app.php

at4k\LaravelAD\AgileDataServiceProvider::class

Finally, publish the configuration file by running the command:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="agiledata"

Without any additional configuration LaravelAD will use the default connection specified in your config/database.php configuration.

To use a different connection simply specify the connection name in config/agiledata.php.

There are two ways to get an instance of atk4\data\Persistence which follow the normal behavior of resolving a dependency in Laravel.

Through a type-hint in any class that is resolved through the service container:

use Illuminate\Routing\Controller;

class MyController extends Controller 
{
    public function __construct(atk4\data\Persistence $db) 
    {
        
    }
}

or by resolving directly through the service container

$db = $this->app->make('agiledata'); // using the alias
$db = $this->app->make(atk4\data\Persistence::class); // using the class name

• DI integration
• Facade for retrieving different Persistence objects
• Authentication UserProvider
• Migrations using Console
• Support route validations that use DB
• Support Laravel Collections?
