Laravel package for the Google Natural language API

This package makes using the Google Natural API in your laravel app a breeze with minimum to no configuration, clean syntax and a consistent package API. All methods accept a string and return an array: Docs below.

Installation

You can install this package via composer using this command:

composer require joggapp/laravel-natural-language

The package will automatically register itself.
We have documented how to setup the project and get the necessary configurations from the Google Cloud Platform console in a step by step detailed manner over here.
You can publish the config file using the following command:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="JoggApp\NaturalLanguage\NaturalLanguageServiceProvider"

This will create the package's config file called naturallanguage.php in the config directory. These are the contents of the published config file:

return [
    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | The id of project created in the Google Cloud Platform console.
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    */
    'project_id' => env('NATURAL_LANGUAGE_PROJECT_ID', 'sample-12345'),

    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Path to the json file containing the authentication credentials.
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    */
    'key_file_path' => base_path('composer.json'),
];
