> Laravel Package to work with Wikipedia. Very easy to use. Offers the use of Facades and Dependency Injection
## Installation
[PHP](https://php.net) 5.5+ or [HHVM](http://hhvm.com) 3.3+, and [Composer](https://getcomposer.org) are required.
First, pull in the package through Composer.
``` bash
$ composer require unicodeveloper/laravel-wikipedia
```
Another alternative is to simply add the following line to the require block of your `composer.json` file.
```
"unicodeveloper/laravel-wikipedia": "1.0.*"
```
Then run `composer install` or `composer update` to download it and have the autoloader updated.
And then include these service providers within `config/app.php`
```php
'providers' => [
...
Unicodeveloper\Larapedia\WikiRandServiceProvider::class,
...
];
```
This package also comes with a Facade
```php
'aliases' => [
...
'WikiRand' => Unicodeveloper\Larapedia\WikiRandFacade::class,
...
]
```
Run the following command, it creates a `config/wikirand.php` in your laravel app. You can modify the configuration
```php
php artisan vendor:publish
```
## Usage
Use it like so:
For those that love Facades immensely, I have provided the cake for you :smile: like so:
``` php
