Using Omnipay in OctoberCMS plugin

Question

I'm working on a plugin for OctoberCMS and will use Omnipay. I've done a research and found some packages that integrates the Omnipay library with Laravel as ignited/omnipay and barryvdh/laravel-omnipay. I've tried both of them by following this steps (all on the plugin directory):

Create a composer.json file and add this:

{
    "name": "BalanceRecharge Plugin",
    "email": "webmaster@root.com",
    "require": {
        #in this case I'm using barryvdh/laravel-omnipay
        "barryvdh/laravel-omnipay": "0.1.*", 
        "omnipay/omnipay": "*"
    }
}

Run composer update for update library and dependencies, all good

Add 'Barryvdh\Omnipay\ServiceProvider' to the providers:

'providers' => array_merge(include(base_path().'/modules/system/providers.php'), array(

    // 'Illuminate\Html\HtmlServiceProvider', // Example

    'System\ServiceProvider',
    'Barryvdh\Omnipay\ServiceProvider',
)),

Then try to run the command php artisan config:publish barryvdh/laravel-omnipay but get the error below:

PHP Fatal error: Class 'Barryvdh\Omnipay\ServiceProvider' not found in /var/www/html/alomicuba/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/ProviderRepository.php on line 157 PHP Stack trace: PHP 1. {main}() /var/www/html/alomicuba/artisan:0 PHP 2. require_once() /var/www/html/alomicuba/artisan:30 PHP 3. require() /var/www/html/alomicuba/bootstrap/start.php:57 PHP 4. Illuminate\Foundation\ProviderRepository->load() /var/www/html/alomicuba/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/start.php:210 PHP 5. Illuminate\Foundation\ProviderRepository->compileManifest() /var/www/html/alomicuba/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/ProviderRepository.php:57 PHP 6. Illuminate\Foundation\ProviderRepository->createProvider() /var/www/html/alomicuba/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/ProviderRepository.php:121

What I'm doing wrong? What is the right way to register the Provider?

if you want to use laravel packages in plugin you have to register service provider and alias in plugin.php

Register the plugins Service Provider In your Plugin.php's boot() method, add

\App::register('\Third\Party\ServiceProvider');.

This is how you register a third party ServiceProvider automatically.

Register any Alias's In your Plugin.php's boot() method under any ServiceProvider lines, if you then need to add an Alias it can be done with

$alias = \Illuminate\Foundation\AliasLoader::getInstance()->alias('YourAlias', 'Third\Party\Facade');
