documentation update & Laravel 11

[dingman]

Hi there Will - thanks again for such an amazing wrapper here.

The documentation seems like it might be a bit outdated for Laravel 11, at least while I'm trying to use it

When I import the package into my files

use willvincent\feeds\Feeds; // Import the feeds library

usage

$feeds = Feeds::make($feedUrl);

my IDE continues to tell me:

Undefined class 'Feeds' 

But when I check config\app.php, I don't see anything for aliases anymore

I'm not really sure what I might be doing wrong here. Any advice?

@willvincent any thoughts?

Hi @dingman, you need to add the following entry in your return array of bootstrap\providers.php file:

willvincent\Feeds\FeedsServiceProvider::class,

After that you can declare the following use:

use willvincent\Feeds\Facades\FeedsFacade as Feeds;

And it will work

I haven't used Laravel 11 yet, does it no longer auto-discover? That seems like a step in the wrong direction.. 😢

@willvincent I can't point out the direct changes as the upgrade notes don't state anything specific other than that the configuration has been streamlined. The "old" way still works and the following links may help:

• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78197532/understanding-class-importation-and-alias-management-in-laravel-11s-new-directo
• https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/laravel/here-to-declare-aliases-on-laravel-11

I guess we'll hear/read more about it in days to come.

Interesting.. I'll take a closer look soon and see about getting aliases working as before again for laravel 11.
