How to build a basic Alexa interaction using Laravel

Explain what you are tying to do exactly. What does connect a Laravel app with Alexa mean to you? You want to speak a command to Alexa and have it load your laravel app in a web browser or what are you trying to do?

Hey @TonsOfLaz,

Here we go, https://github.com/develpr/alexa-app

Hi @Cronix , here is the interaction I am thinking, specifically:

User: "Alexa, APPNAME Update" Alexa: "Today there have been 5 new MODELNAMES and 3 new scheduled meetings"

This information I have in mind is generic to all users of the app, and just gives them some background on the shared info. They can then log in as normal through a browser if they want to see details.

It just needs to hit a route in my app, run some small query, and return a string of what to say. No specific input (yet) or back and forth, or Auth requirements, just a quick way for someone to get a generic update of what has happened today with the app.

Hi @hardik thanks for the link. I did see that, I have just been hoping I can find a good screencast! The developer there mentions that he will make some at some point, but there aren't any yet.

I agree with TonsOfLaz there is now much information on Laravel and Alexa. Current I am trying to learn the laravel passport and the https://github.com/develpr/alexa-app that hardik mentioned. Right now I am just trying to get passport working.

It would get great to see a laravel tutorial on how to use Alexa with laravel.

Hi, I'm also using develpr/alexa and try to make my first steps with it. For me it's also very confusing how my routes should look like. I tried this:

AlexaRoute::intent('/GetTerminIntent', 'GetTerminIntent', 'TermineController@index');

With this controller:

    public function index() {
        return Alexa::say("Hallo Welt")->withCard(new Card("Hello world"))->endSession();
    }

When I try to run the Service Simulator on amazon-developer site, I only recieve a 404. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Here are the screencasts you are looking for:

@Moenchfracht I think the route should be your skill name and your skill url in alexa skill kit has to point to this route.

thanks @memdev , I haven't had a chance to go through the screencast yet, but it looks promising!
