Laravel Programming Tutorials, Guides & Best Practices

It’s important to handle errors gracefully in production. Laravel’s Http facade offers methods to check if a request was successful.

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Http;

$response = Http::post('https://api.example.com/endpoint', [
    'key1' => 'value1',
    'key2' => 'value2',
]);

if ($response->successful()) {
    dd($response->json()); // Handle successful response
} elseif ($response->failed()) {
    dd('Request failed: ' . $response->body()); // Handle failed request
}

Update your resources/views/welcome.blade.php to include the root element for Vue:

<div id="app"></div>
<script src="{{ mix('js/app.js') }}"></script>

Create a new file in the app/Services directory named NMI.php.

   namespace App\Services;

   use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Http;

   class NMI
   {
       protected $securityKey, $url;
       protected $production;

       public function __construct()
       {
           $this->production = env('APP_ENV') === 'production';
           $this->securityKey = config('nmi.security_key');
           $this->url = 'https://secure.nmi.com/api/transact.php';
       }
   }
