Laravel Integration

Laravel Integration

Laravel package discovery registers TeemoCell\SteamWebApi\SteamApiServiceProvider. The provider binds TeemoCell\SteamWebApi\Client as a singleton and also registers the steam-api container alias.

Dependency injection

Constructor injection is the recommended Laravel integration:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use TeemoCell\SteamWebApi\Client;

final class SteamProfileController
{
    public function __invoke(Client $steam, string $steamId)
    {
        return $steam->user($steamId)->GetPlayerSummaries();
    }
}

The singleton receives the key configured in steam-api.steamApiKey.

Facade

The facade remains available for applications that prefer it:

use TeemoCell\SteamWebApi\Facades\SteamApi;

$games = SteamApi::player($steamId)->GetOwnedGames();

Dependency injection is easier to replace in unit tests and makes dependencies explicit.

Configuration

Publish the configuration when it needs to be customized:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="TeemoCell\SteamWebApi\SteamApiServiceProvider"

Set the API key in .env:

STEAM_API_KEY=your-key-here

See Configuration for custom Guzzle clients and publisher-key handling.
