Make widget classes with the Illuminate Container

[RobertBoes]

Also changed the TestApplicationWrapper to use the Illuminate Container when the abstract class is a subclass of AbstractWidget

This makes it possible to have a widget class like this:

<?php

namespace App\Widgets;

use App\Contracts\UserRepository;
use Arrilot\Widgets\AbstractWidget;

class RecentlyCreatedUsers extends AbstractWidget
{
    /**
     * The configuration array.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $config = [];

    private $users;

    public function __construct(array $config = [], UserRepository $userRepository)
    {
        parent::__construct($config);

        $this->users = $userRepository;
    }

    /**
     * Treat this method as a controller action.
     * Return view() or other content to display.
     */
    public function run()
    {
        $users = $this->users->recentlyCreated();

        return view('widgets.recently_created_users', [
            'config' => $this->config,
        ])->withUsers($users);
    }
}

I don't exactly know why, but I can't make it work on PHP 5.5. Container::getInstance() returns null, but for the rest of the versions it does work.. 😕

The tests for 5.5 and 5.6 were failing, because I used app->make() instead of app->makeWith(), older versions of Illuminate only supported passing parameters with the function makeWith, I saw you're using make everywhere, but this isn't tested due to the test wrapper. Haven't tested it, but maybe the package overall does not work with PHP 5.5/5.6?

Well, method injection is much more appropriate in this example

<?php

namespace App\Widgets;

use App\Contracts\UserRepository;
use Arrilot\Widgets\AbstractWidget;

class RecentlyCreatedUsers extends AbstractWidget
{
    /**
     * The configuration array.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $config = [];

    /**
     * Treat this method as a controller action.
     * Return view() or other content to display.
     */
    public function run(UserRepository $userRepository)
    {
        $users = $userRepository->recentlyCreated();

        return view('widgets.recently_created_users', [
            'config' => $this->config,
        ])->withUsers($users);
    }
}

Widget class is like a controller with a single action, but I believe constructor injection can be still usefull. Thanks for contribution
