The package supports use with the Laravel framework (v5) providing a Stat facade for the StatCounter API. You can find the documentation for this package here.
###Setup:
In order to install, add the following to your composer.json file within the require block:
{
"require": {
"injic/laravel-statcounter": "2.*",
}
}Now, run the command composer update.
Within Laravel, locate the file /config/app.php. Add the following to the providers array:
Injic\LaravelStatcounter\LaravelStatcounterServiceProvider::class,Furthermore, add the following the aliases array:
'Stat' => Injic\LaravelStatcounter\Facades\Stat::class,Publish the configuration
$ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Injic\LaravelStatcounter\LaravelStatcounterServiceProvider"Find the package's config found in /config/statcounter.php. You'll need to fill out your StatCounter username, API password, and project information. Since the config file contains further information on the individual values, here are a few things to note:
usernameis the case-sensitive login username for StatCounterpasswordreferes to the API password, not the login password (see API Password)defaultmust match one of the project names underprojectsyour-project-nameis the only value that isn't specified by StatCounter. It's an alias of your choosing used when calling functions which handle projects.projectsandsecurity-codesmust having matching keys (i.e. the project names).
###Usage:
Methods of the Stat class simplify what is needed for a StatCounter API query as described in the StatCounter API Documentation. Additionally, the Stat class was modeled off of the Laravel DB Query design, and you may expect similar methods.
You can find the documentation for this package here.
