Laravel 5.1 / 5.3 by calling non Laravel package pimax/fb-messenger-php

Question

I am looking to use a non laravel provider pimax/fb-messenger-php with Laravel. The this package is used and works with PHP. How do I define the provider for this in my laravel config?

Answer 1

Since you already use Laravel, I assume you are using Composer as well.

So get into your command-prompt and enter the following in your Laravel project directory:

composer require "pimax/fb-messenger-php"

That information is available from the Pimax GitHub project

Answer 2

Run : composer require "pimax/fb-messenger-php"

Once its done . You can simply use the classes in your controller . There is no need to edit/change/add in config file.

In your controller use classes:

use pimax\FbBotApp;
use pimax\Menu\MenuItem;
use pimax\Menu\LocalizedMenu;
use pimax\Messages\Message;
use pimax\Messages\MessageButton;
use pimax\Messages\StructuredMessage;
use pimax\Messages\MessageElement;
use pimax\Messages\MessageReceiptElement;
use pimax\Messages\Address;
use pimax\Messages\Summary;
use pimax\Messages\Adjustment;
use pimax\Messages\AccountLink;
use pimax\Messages\ImageMessage;
use pimax\Messages\QuickReply;
use pimax\Messages\QuickReplyButton;
use pimax\Messages\SenderAction;

......

and then in your controller function just use the sdk normally:

$bot = new FbBotApp($token);
$bot->send(new Message($ids, 'This is a sample message.'));
