Using LaravelData from within another Package

[robmellett]

Hello!

Thanks for your awesome work with this.

I was just wondering if there was a recommended approach to using this package from within another package (say the spatie/laravel-package-skeleton).

After installing the package composer require spatie/laravel-data and copying over the configuration file.

An exception is thrown when using a when creating a new Data object.

Example

new SongData('Never gonna give you up', 'Rick Astley');

Will produce.

  Unresolvable dependency resolving [Parameter #0 [ <required> array $config ]] in class Spatie\LaravelData\Support\DataConfig

After looking at the https://github.com/spatie/laravel-data/blob/main/src/LaravelDataServiceProvider.php class, I can see that adding the following two methods packageRegistered and packageBooted to our package skeleton ServiceProvider will work - but I was just wondering if there was a smoother way of course.

Any ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Do you get these errors within your package tests? Or in the application where both packages are included? In the first case, within the orchestral test suite you can boot up additional service providers. Adding LaravelDataServiceProvider here should normally fix the problem.

Thank you so much @rubenvanassche <3

Registering the laravel-data within my orchestral test suite was exactly what I needed.

I owe you a beer :)
