README
What is this package for?
This gmail support library is a composer package, that extends the ushahidi platform datasource manager, adding Gmail as a data source. It allows the platform to authenticate a gmail account, giving the access to send and receive messages via Gmail Service API instead of the default POP/IMAP.
Installation
You can install the package via composer:
$ composer require ushahidi/gmail-support
The above command will add the package as a dependency in your current project.
Note: In a Ushahidi platform codebase, the package needs to be manually registered. Add the code below to the boostrap/lumen.php file
$app->register(Ushahidi\Gmail\GmailServiceProvider::class);
Usage
Update your config/services.php file by adding your Gmail API credentials.
'gmail' => [ 'client_id' => env('GMAIL_CLIENT_ID'), 'client_secret' => env('GMAIL_CLIENT_SECRET'), 'redirect_uri' => env('GMAIL_REDIRECT_URI','urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob'), ]
Update your .env file by adding your server key.
GMAIL_CLIENT_ID= GMAIL_CLIENT_SECRET= GMAIL_REDIRECT_URI=
Tip: For quick gmail authentication setup run the artisan command
$ php artisan gmail:auth
To make use of this support package for mailing in your laravel app, update your .env and set your mail driver to gmail.
MAIL_DRIVER=gmail
