## Installation
> Note: PHP 7 and Laravel 5.5 or higher are required.

```sh
composer require mpociot/laravel-apidoc-generator
```

### Laravel
Publish the config file by running:

```bash
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Mpociot\ApiDoc\ApiDocGeneratorServiceProvider" --tag=apidoc-config
```
This will create an `apidoc.php` file in your `config` folder.

### Lumen
- Register the service provider in your `bootstrap/app.php`:

```php
$app->register(\Mpociot\ApiDoc\ApiDocGeneratorServiceProvider::class);
```

- Copy the config file from `vendor/mpociot/laravel-apidoc-generator/config/apidoc.php` to your project as `config/apidoc.php`. Then add to your `bootstrap/app.php`:

```php
$app->configure('apidoc');
```
