Braintree with laravel - php

Question

I am using Braintree PHP SDK with Laravel framework.
I installed Braintree through composer.
Then, in AppServiceProvider.php, I have added below code in boot():
Braintree_Configuration::environment('sandbox');
Braintree_Configuration::merchantId('merchand_id');
Braintree_Configuration::publicKey('public_key');
Braintree_Configuration::privateKey('private_key');
When trying to generate client_token, I get below error:
Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalThrowableError: Class
'App\Providers\Braintree_Configuration' not found in
AppServiceProvider.php on line 34

Answer 1

The way you are using braintree seems to follow a deprecated example (my guess previous version of Braintre_php) as Braintree_Configuration class does not exist in the current package.
And you also need to use an "\" before calling the autoloaded class, ex : \Braintree.
This should work in your app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php file with Braintree 5.x :
/**
* Bootstrap any application services.
*
* #return void
*/
public function boot()
{
//
$gateway = new \Braintree\Gateway([
'environment' => 'sandbox',
'merchantId' => 'use_your_merchant_id',
'publicKey' => 'use_your_public_key',
'privateKey' => 'use_your_private_key'
]);
}
You can have an up to date example here to see some basics sdk function to get started :

Answer 2

Please see examples below for braintree/paypal specific examples. This is the most elegant solution that worked for me:
app\Providers\AppServiceProvider.php:
/**
* Bootstrap any application services.
*
* #return void
*/
public function boot()
{
// braintree setup
$environment = env('BRAINTREE_ENV');
$braintree = new \Braintree\Gateway([
'environment' => $environment,
'merchantId' => 'merchant_id_example',
'publicKey' => 'public_key_example',
'privateKey' => 'private_key_example'
]);
config(['braintree' => $braintree]);
// braintree setup for specifically for paypal direct integration for those who need it
/*$accessToken = env('PAYPAL_ACCESS_TOKEN');
$braintree = new \Braintree\Gateway([
'accessToken' => $accessToken
]);
config(['braintree' => $braintree]);*/
}
// examplefile.php:
public function token()
{
$braintree = config('braintree');
$clienttoken = $braintree->clientToken()->generate();
}
public function sale()
{
$braintree = config('braintree');
$result = $braintree->transaction()->sale([
'amount' => $amount,
'paymentMethodNonce' => $nonce
]);
}

Answer 3

Did you add a use statement to your AppServiceProvider?
use App\Providers\Braintree_Configuration;
