Can Laravel 5 Use Raw PHP Libraries
I am trying to pull in a PHP Stock Ticker (https://github.com/scheb/yahoo-finance-api) which uses composer but no mention of Laravel.
Is there a way to use this in Laravel 5.1?

and do I just put $client = new \Scheb\YahooFinanceApi\ApiClient(); on top of the controller?

Not on top of Controller of course but within your controller methods.
eg.
namespace \App\Http\Controllers;
use \App\Http\Controller;
use Scheb\YahooFinanceApi\ApiClient;
class MyController extends Controller{
protected $apiClient;
public __construct(){
$apiClient = new \Scheb\YahooFinanceApi\ApiClient();
}
}

@ashitvora Thanks!!! I was thinking it was like a "use App\User;" kinda thing but it's just Composer magic.
