Laravel - How to use a provider class?

I want to use Mobile Detect feature in m routes.php file. I added the package as a requirement in composer.json and it was installed in the vendor file. How can I use it now?

I tried this answer and no luck because the class was not found: Laravel 4 using provider classes

{
    "name": "laravel/laravel",
    "description": "The Laravel Framework.",
    "keywords": ["framework", "laravel"],
    "license": "MIT",
    "require": {
        "laravel/framework": "4.2.*",
        "mobiledetect/mobiledetectlib": "*"
    },
    "autoload": {
        "classmap": [
            "app/commands",
            "app/controllers",
            "app/models",
            "app/database/migrations",
            "app/database/seeds",
            "app/tests/TestCase.php"
        ]
    },
    "scripts": {
        "post-install-cmd": [
            "php artisan clear-compiled",
            "php artisan optimize"
        ],
        "post-update-cmd": [
            "php artisan clear-compiled",
            "php artisan optimize"
        ],
        "post-create-project-cmd": [
            "php artisan key:generate"
        ]
    },
    "config": {
        "preferred-install": "dist"
    },
    "minimum-stability": "stable"
}

EDIT: I tried using this one: https://github.com/jenssegers/Laravel-Agent but the alias never worked because the class was not found.

This package is PSR-0

namespaced. Looking at the git repository it looks like Detection\MobileDetect

, although you want to make sure it is indeed the correct namespace . Have you tried adding the correct namespace to your routes.php

file?

use Detection\MobileDetect as MobileDetect;

or you can reference your own inline namespace. Here's an example:

$detect = new Detection\MobileDetect\Mobile_Detect;
$deviceType = ($detect->isMobile() ? ($detect->isTablet() ? 'tablet' : 'phone') : 'computer');


If that doesn't work for you, you can get away by adding it to the composer.json

classmap:

"autoload": {
    "classmap": ["/vendor/serbanghita/namespaced/"],
}

Complete the correct path, of course, then run composer dump-auto

.

I also struggled with mobile detection in Laravel, but I found a solution! This is from the start (including installation):

  • in terminal in your Laravel project folder:

    $ composer require mobiledetect/mobiledetectlib

  • in the mobile detection middleware file:

    use Mobile_Detect;

...

$detect = new Mobile_Detect;

if ($detect->isMobile()) var_dump('is mobile');
else var_dump('is not mobile');


And you're ready to go;)
