How do I integrate a php library not written for Laravel into Laravel?

@Sinnbeck https://github.com/Hasokeyk/instagram This library is written for php. I have read the information given, but since this is written for php, the location of the files is different in laravel.

@ErsinJuise Why? They are just in the vendor folder? Laravel is php.

@Sinnbeck Yes they are in the vendor folder.

@ErsinJuise Exactly. Same as laravels framework. So in a controller for instance. You add this to the top

use Hasokeyk\Instagram\Instagram;

and the method

public function foo()
{
    $username = 'username';
    $password = 'password';

    $instagram = new Instagram($username,$password);
    $login = $instagram->login->login();
    if($login){
        return 'Login success';
    }else{
        return 'Login Fail';
    }
}

@Sinnbeck class not found error, I tried this.

@ErsinJuise Did you install it?

composer require hasokeyk/instagram

What is the exact error?

@Sinnbeck I installed it without any problems, yes, but I get the error "hasokeyk/instagram/instagram class not found". But when I look there is an existing folder there.

@ErsinJuise And you ran the require command from the root of your laravel project?

Can you show your controller file?

@Sinnbec

namespace App\Http\Controllers; use App; use Hasokeyk\Instagram\Instagram;

class indexController extends Controller { public function instagram(){ return view('front.instagram'); } }

@ErsinJuise You dont use it anywhere?

This

$instagram = new Instagram($username,$password);

@martinbean I have read the instructions but I am getting an error because the files have been moved in laravel.

@ersinjuise What do you mean, moved? It’s a package. You install it with Composer, you then use it as per the README.

Laravel is just PHP. There’s nothing “Laravel specific” about using that package.
