An easy way to use bencoding with Laravel.

Think of Bencoded as an easy way to use bencoding with Laravel. These include:

Installation

Begin by installing this package through Composer. Edit your project's composer.json file to require cornford/bencoded.

"require": {
    "cornford/bencoded": "2.*"
}

Next, update Composer from the Terminal:

composer update

Once this operation completes, the next step is to add the service provider. Open app/config/app.php, and add a new item to the providers array.

'Cornford\Bencoded\Providers\BencodedServiceProvider',

The final step is to introduce the facade. Open app/config/app.php, and add a new item to the aliases array.

'Bencoded'         => 'Cornford\Bencoded\Facades\BencodedFacade',

That's it! You're all set to go.

It's really as simple as using the Bencoded class in any Controller / Model / File you see fit with:

Bencoded::

This will give you access to

The encode method encodes an item into a bencoding format.

Bencoded::encode([['name' => 'tom'], ['name' => 'jerry']]);

The decode method decodes a bencoding string into PHP types.

Bencoded::decode('ld4:name3:tomed4:name5:jerryee);
