Allow the Scientist library to be used with the Laravel PHP framework.

Scientist for Laravel

Allow the Scientist library to be used with the Laravel PHP framework.

Installation

Require the latest version of Scientist Laravel using Composer.

composer require daylerees/scientist-laravel

Next, add the service provider to the providers section of config/app.php in your Laravel project.

<?php

return [

    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Autoloaded Service Providers
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | The service providers listed here will be automatically loaded on the
    | request to your application. Feel free to add your own services to
    | this array to grant expanded functionality to your applications.
    |
    */

    'providers' => [

        /*
         * Application Service Providers...
         */
        App\Providers\AppServiceProvider::class,
        App\Providers\AuthServiceProvider::class,
        App\Providers\EventServiceProvider::class,
        App\Providers\RouteServiceProvider::class,
        
        Scientist\Laravel\ScientistServiceProvider::class,

    ],
    
];

Finally, register the Facade within the aliases section of config/app.php.

<?php

return [

    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Class Aliases
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | This array of class aliases will be registered when this application
    | is started. However, feel free to register as many as you wish as
    | the aliases are "lazy" loaded so they don't hinder performance.
    |
    */

    'aliases' => [

        'URL'       => Illuminate\Support\Facades\URL::class,
        'Validator' => Illuminate\Support\Facades\Validator::class,
        'View'      => Illuminate\Support\Facades\View::class,
        
        'Scientist' => Scientist\Laravel\Facade::class,

    ],

];

You're good to go!

Usage

You can access the Scientist Laboratory through the Scientist facade.

<?php

$value = Scientist::experiment('foo')
    ->control($controlCallback)
    ->trial('First trial.', $trialCallback)
    ->run();

Or, inject the Laboratory into a container resolved class or controller action.

<?php

use Scientist\Laboratory;

class FooController extends Controller
{
    public function index(Laboratory $laboratory)
    {
        return $laboratory->experiment('foo')
            ->control(function() { ... })
            ->trial('First trial.', function() { ... })
            ->run();
    }
}

See the Scientist documentation for more information!

Enjoy!

Journal

HI there. I'm looking to build an Eloquent Journal for Scientist, and I think it makes sense to be part of this bridge package. Would you be cool with that, or would you rather the bridge and journal be separate?
