Microsoftgraphbundle Laravel Package

Getting Started

v0.1.0 is the initial public release, so treat it as pre-1.0: pin the exact version and read the source before relying on it. The release notes are empty, which means there is no documented changelog, upgrade path, or stability guarantee yet — verify behavior directly against src/ and the test suite.

Minimal steps:

composer require vendor/package:0.1.0
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Vendor\Package\PackageServiceProvider"
php artisan migrate   # only if the package ships migrations

Where to look first:

1. composer.json — check extra.laravel.providers / aliases (auto-discovery), the Laravel version constraint, and whether the package is 0.1.x only.
2. README.md and any docs/ — installation and the single "hello world" example.
3. src/*ServiceProvider.php — what is bound, published, loaded, and registered.
4. config/*.php — every knob and its default.
5. tests/ — the most reliable description of intended behavior for a 0.x package.

First use case: install it, publish config, run migrations if present, then resolve the main class from the container in php artisan tinker (or a throwaway route/command) to confirm wiring before integrating it anywhere real:

app(\Vendor\Package\TheMainClass::class);

If that resolves and a trivial call succeeds, the package is wired correctly and you can move on to real integration.

Implementation Patterns

Config-first setup. Publish the config file, commit it, and drive the package from config rather than hard-coding values. For a 0.x package this also gives you a single place to adapt when defaults change.

Wrap it behind your own adapter. Because the public API is not stable at 0.1.0, inject the package's class into a small application-level service or interface rather than calling it from controllers, jobs, and Blade views. When 0.2.0 renames something, you change one file.

final class Thumbnailer
{
    public function __construct(private \Vendor\Package\Client $client) {}

    public function make(string $path): string
    {
        return $this->client->process($path);
    }
}

Constructor injection over facades/helpers. Resolve the package's contracts through the container so tests can swap them. Bind the package interface to its implementation in a dedicated AppServiceProvider or module provider if you need to decorate it.

Feature-test the integration, not the package. Use RefreshDatabase and assert on your adapter's output. Add one smoke test that boots the provider so a future release that breaks auto-discovery fails CI loudly.

Common workflows to expect: an Artisan command for setup/sync, publishable config and migrations, and optionally events or jobs. Register any package events in your EventServiceProvider and make queued work idempotent — 0.x packages frequently change job payloads.

Integration tips:

• Keep the package provider out of route/model discovery unless documented; register listeners explicitly.
• If the package exposes macros or Blade directives, register them in a service provider so they survive config caching.
• Run php artisan config:cache in staging early; it surfaces config-file assumptions that fail only in production.

Gotchas and Tips

• 0.x semver is not stable. ^0.1 allows 0.1.x patches only, but many authors treat minor bumps as breaking. Prefer "vendor/package": "0.1.*" and commit composer.lock. Do not use ^0.1 and assume safety.
• Empty release notes. With no changelog, diff vendor/ between installs or pin hard. Watch the repo's commits and issues for the real behavior changes.
• Config caching. After publishing or editing config, run php artisan config:clear; a stale cached config is the most common "the package ignores my settings" bug.
• Auto-discovery. If extra.laravel is present, the provider registers automatically. If you disabled discovery or are on an older skeleton, add the provider manually and run php artisan package:discover -v.
• Migrations. Distinguish publishable migrations (vendor:publish --tag=...) from loadMigrationsFrom(). Never edit files in vendor/; copy and adjust published migrations instead.
• Version constraints. Check the package's require block against your Laravel/PHP version before upgrading. A missing upper bound on illuminate/* can let Composer install an incompatible combination.
• Debugging. Use php artisan about, php artisan package:discover -v, and app()->bound(\Vendor\Package\Client::class) to confirm registration. For resolution errors, check the provider's register() vs boot() split — bindings must be in register().
• Extension points. Look for container bindings, config keys, events, and macros before forking. If none exist, decorate the package class in your own container binding rather than editing vendor code.
• No upgrade guide yet. Before any version bump, read the diff of src/ and run your smoke test. Assume breaking changes until 1.0.0.
