Laravel package for the Google Natural language API

This package makes using the Google Natural API in your laravel app a breeze with minimum to no configuration, clean syntax and a consistent package API. All methods accept a string and return an array: Docs below.

Installation

• You can install this package via composer using this command:

composer require joggapp/laravel-natural-language

• The package will automatically register itself.

• We have documented how to setup the project and get the necessary configurations from the Google Cloud Platform console in a step by step detailed manner over here.

• You can publish the config file using the following command:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="JoggApp\NaturalLanguage\NaturalLanguageServiceProvider"

This will create the package's config file called naturallanguage.php in the config directory. These are the contents of the published config file:

return [
    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | The id of project created in the Google Cloud Platform console.
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    */
    'project_id' => env('NATURAL_LANGUAGE_PROJECT_ID', 'sample-12345'),

    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Path to the json file containing the authentication credentials.
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    */
    'key_file_path' => base_path('composer.json'),
];

How to use

• After setting up the config file values you are all set to use the following methods 😄

• Detect the Sentiment: Accepts a string and returns an array.

NaturalLanguage::sentiment(string $text): array

• Detect the Entities: Accepts a string and returns an array.
