Hi again! PR is almost done, but I need your thoughts on Lumen Installation docs. I think setup steps turned out a little complicated but Lumen is too naked by default.. Really would be happy to hear your thoughts:

Lumen Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require spatie/laravel-web-tinker --dev

this package uses session and gate for user authorization. we also need to configure some container bindings and setup some missing helper functions to lumen.

in bootstrap/app.php add (or uncomment in case they exist and are commented) these lines:

$app->register(\App\Providers\AppServiceProvider::class);
$app->register(\App\Providers\AuthServiceProvider::class);
$app->register(\Spatie\WebTinker\WebTinkerServiceProvider::class);

next, add this line to register method of AppServiceProvider:

$this->app->instance('path.public', base_path() . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'public'); // required for public_path function
$this->app->instance('path.storage', base_path() . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'storage'); // required for storage_path function
$this->app->instance('path.config', base_path() . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'config'); // required for config_path function
$this->app->bind('session', \Illuminate\Session\SessionManager::class); // session service
$this->app->bind(\Illuminate\Contracts\Routing\UrlGenerator::class, function ($app) {
    return new \Laravel\Lumen\Routing\UrlGenerator($app);
}); // url service

next add this line to configuration section of bootstrap/app.php to enable session config file:

$app->configure('session');

now create sessions directory in storage/framework if it already is not present: storage/framework/sessions

now make config/session.php and paste these lines in it:

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Str;

return [

now create file helpers.php in your app directory and paste these helpers:

        return new HtmlString($manifestDirectory.$manifest[$path]);
    }
}

in your composer.json add this line to repositories section:

{
    "autoload": {
        "files": [
            "./app/helpers.php"
        ]
    }
}

now run composer dump-autoload, we're almost done!

Next, you must publish the assets from this package by running this command.

php artisan web-tinker:install
