Note: The master branch and >=1.0 releases are for Laravel 5. Use the 0.x branch and ~0.9 releases for Laravel 4.

Include the package:

composer require "cviebrock/laravel-resources:~0.9"

Add service provider and facades to app/config.php:

'providers' => [
    'Cviebrock\LaravelResources\ServiceProvider',
],
'aliases' => [
    'Resource' => 'Cviebrock\LaravelResources\Facades\Resource',
	'ResourceGroup' => 'Cviebrock\LaravelResources\Facades\ResourceGroup',
]

Publish the configuration:

php artisan config:publish "cviebrock/laravel-resources"

Edit the configuration (if needed), then generate and run the migration:

php artisan resources:table
php artisan migrate

Update app/config/packages/cviebrock/laravel-resources/resources.php with the array of keys/descriptor classes you need.

Then, run the initial import to load those values in to the database:

php artisan resources:import
