Framework Integration

• Laravel
  • Application-wide Configuration
  • Static Facade Interface

Laravel

Although the library is framework agnostic it comes with a service provider for the Laravel Framework. Which will be discovered automatically and registers the calculator into your installation.

Application-wide Configuration

A global configuration file that is recognized by Laravel is included. It is therefore possible to configure a default setting for the astrology to be used by the calculator facade.

The configuration file can be copied to the application with the following command.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Intervention\Zodiac\Laravel\ServiceProvider"

This command will publish the configuration file config/zodiac.php to your local applications config folder. Here you can set the default astrology type to be used for calculations.

return [

    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Zodiac Astrology
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | Define the default astrology that is to be used application-wide
    | for calculating zodiac signs. Your can choose between western
    | and chinese astrology.
    */

    'astrology' => \Intervention\Zodiac\Astrology::WESTERN,
];

Static Facade Interface

This package also integrates access to the central entry point Intervention\Zodiac\Calculator::class, via a static facade.

The following code example shows how to calculate a zodiac sign via the zodiac facade in a Laravel application.

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Intervention\Zodiac\Laravel\Facades\Zodiac;

Route::get('/', function (Request $request) {
    $sign = Zodiac::calculate($request->input('date'));
});
