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.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • 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.

Remember a visitor's original referer in session. The referer is (highest priority first):

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

The package will automatically register itself in Laravel 5.5. In Laravel 5.4. you'll manually need to register the Spatie\Referer\RefererServiceProvider service provider in config/app.php.

You can publish the config file with:

Publishing the config file is necessary if you want to change the key in which the referer is stored in the session or if you want to disable a referer source.

Usage

To capture the referer, all you need to do is add the Spatie\Referer\CaptureReferer middleware to your middleware stack. In most configuration's, you'll only want to capture the referer in "web" requests, so it makes sense to register it in the web stack. Make sure it comes after Laravel's StartSession middleware!

The easiest way to retrieve the referer is by just resolving it out of the container:

Or you could opt to use Laravel's automatic facades:

The captured referer is (from high to low priority):

An empty referer will never overwrite an exisiting referer. So if a visitor comes from google.com and visits a few pages on your site, those pages won't affect the referer since local hosts are ignored.

Forgetting or manually setting the referer

The Referer class provides dedicated methods to forget, or manually set the referer.

Changing the way the referer is determined

The referer is determined by doing checks on various sources, which are defined in the configuration.

A source implements the Source interface, and requires one method, getReferer. If a source is able to determine a referer, other sources will be ignored. In other words, the sources array is ordered by priority.

In the next example, we'll add a source that can use a ?ref query parameter to determine the referer. Additionally, we'll ignore ?utm_source parameters.

First, create the source implementations:

Then register your source in the sources array. We'll also disable the utm_source while we're at it.

That's it! Source implementations can be this simple, or more advanced if necessary.
