```
composer dump-autoload
```
We provide seeder to generate sample data. Simply put below code to file database/seeds/DatabaseSeeder.php, inside run() function.
```
$this->call(TCXApplicationsTableSeeder::class);
```
then run below script on your shell/command prompt.

php artisan db:seed --class=TCXApplicationsTableSeeder
```

Implementation

Authentication Type, TCX support three ways authentication type:
- One Way Transaction Code (OWTC): Client only need to use app_id and app_public to access Server APIs.
- Two Way Transaction Code (TWTC): Client has to use app_id and app_public to get access token, then it can be used to access APIs.
- Free Transaction Code (FTC): Client use master token to access APIs, without need to request token for every requests, it's specially design to by pass TWTC authentication. You need to generate Master token manually.
To specify authentication for each APIs assign parameter in the middleware, use or (|) sign to specify multiple authentication or use all to support all type (Supported type : all, owtc, twtc). By default, TCX will support all authentication if you didn't specifying supported type.

Client need to specify type by sending X-TCX-TYPE header in every APIs request.
How to generate credentials:
- app_pass or X-TCX-APP-PASS, it can be generate by hashing plain of joined token (param, time, or none), application public key, and client dynamic token with SHA1. Client need to append the given dynamic token to hash result by splitting with colon (:) symbol, then encrypt it with base64.
  - Param base
    
    Sample Parameter:
```
abc=123
_xyz=789
foo=bar
def=456
bar=ghi
```
    Expected Token:
```
_xyz=789&abc=123&bar=ghi&def=456&foo=bar
```
  - Time base
```
tcx_datetime=YYYYMMDDHHmmss
```
    Sample
```
tcx_datetime=20181230235959 // For 23:59:59, 30 December 2018
```
  - None, just using application password and client dynamic token.
- token or X-TCX-TOKEN, it's provided when Client authorizing to server, but you need to encrypt it with base64.
