        * Package Service Providers...
    */

Step 6: Configure Basic Settings

To start using this package, follow these steps to configure the basic settings and connect with NELC XAPI:

Add your LRS_ENDPOINT and LRS_USERNAME and LRS_PASSWORD to projects .env file

# .env file content
LRS_ENDPOINT=provided_lrs_endpoint
LRS_USERNAME=your_lrs_username
LRS_PASSWORD=your_lrs_password

If needed you can open the lrs-nelc-xapi.php file inside the config folder. Adjust the basic settings according to your requirements. Make sure to set up any authentication (key, secret) details through .env file to avoid these sensitive being commited to git repo and being exposed.

// config/lrs-nelc-xapi.php
return [
    'endpoint'      => env('LRS_ENDPOINT'),
    'middleware'      => ['web'], // Middleware to display the demo page, ['web', 'auth', ...]
    'key'    => env('LRS_USERNAME'),
    'secret'    => env('LRS_PASSWORD'),
    'platform_in_arabic'    => '', // Platform name in Arabic

    'base_route'    => 'nelcxapi/test', // Demo Page Link
