How to create custom Facade in Laravel 4

Question

Looked up a few tutorials on facades and laravel 4... tried some... not liked the way they work.

For instance, they don\'t all provide a way of defining where to sto

Answer 1

There are three components to making a Facade:

• The wanna be Facade Class, that class that needs to become a facade.
• The Facade required Class, which tells Laravel which registered class it pertains to
• A Service Provider, which registers the Facade class in the App container

1. the wanna be Facade Class:

 $email,
            'password' => $password,
        ]);
    }

    /**
     * @return mixed
     */
    public function logout()
    {
        return Sentry::logout();
    }

}

2. the required class for the facade to work:

note: authentication_service can be anything you want (its the name of the component registered in the IOC)

3. the service provider

app['authentication_service'] = $this->app->share(function($app)
        {
            return $app->make('Moubarmij\Services\ModelsServices\AuthenticationService');
        });

        // Shortcut to auto add the Alias in app/config/app.php
        $this->app->booting(function()
        {
            $loader = \Illuminate\Foundation\AliasLoader::getInstance();
            $loader->alias('AuthenticationService', 'Moubarmij\Facades\AuthenticationServiceFacade');
        });

    }
}
