FAQ
After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.
Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories.
In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages.
Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository.
You can look here for more information.

To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

How do I get set up?
The preferred way is installation via composer:-
composer require mxgel/mpesa
That's all.
Auth
To communicate with the daraja APIs, you'll always require an access token.
This has been simplified for you in this library. All you have to do is provide an instance of Mxgel\MPesa\Auth\Auth to the execute method. A piece of code like:-
MPESA Express
This API is used to initiate online payment on behalf of a customer.
Example
Sample code (in Laravel) to initiate the payment can be something like this (use Mxgel\MPesa\Requests\LNMO).
We now need to write a callback that will receive data from safaricom upon request completion by the customer. Remember to save request details above in a data store
Here is a sample of the callback in laravel.
For easy handling of the received data, we use Mxgel\MPesa\Responses\LNMOCallbackResponse class. This strips away unnecessary data and just give us the juice.
Sometimes you might want to write a cron job to update un-confirmed transactions. Luckily, we can use the status check api, and it's a breeze. Use Mxgel\MPesa\Requests\LNMQ class like so
Composer command for our command line client (download client)This client runs in each environment. You don't need a specific PHP version etc. The first 20 API calls are free.Standard composer command
