CoinMarketCap API for Laravel 5

Hello!

Anybody who is interested in cryptocurrencies, knows the website coinmarketcap.com! It's global rank at Alexa is 111! So ti's a valued source for now.

As a PHP & Laravel developer, I was looking for a repository to use in my project. I have found one, made for Laravel 5. But I wanted to make some changes. Here we go!

New Features

• getTicker() function

Actually, there was a function with the same name but this one is used for Ticker (Specific CryptoCurrency) now. For all currencies, you should use getTickers().

Improvements

• CMC_SSL_VERIFYPEER added as an env parameter

It's true by default. So there is no security risk actually but it's friendly for Windows development platform. It's fixable. An example shown below, check your php.ini file.

[curl]
; A default value for the CURLOPT_CAINFO option. This is required to be an
; absolute path.
curl.cainfo = D:\WAMP\bin\php\php7.1.9\cacert.pem

• PHPDoc lines fixed

It's always good to use PHPDoc because cool IDEs (such as PHPStorm) makes your code better when you use those lines (E.g. when your data types mismatch).

• Some changes to followPHP-FIG — PHP Framework Interop Group rules.

Retouch for FALSE, "USD" like codes, it's all fixed.

• Spacing fixes for better appearance
