How to use in Laravel 4? about former HOT 5 CLOSED

Hooking bundles in Laravel 4 is a little different than in Laravel 3.
You need to do two things :

• First : Hook the Former service provider to Laravel, it's the equivalent of the old start.php file, it binds routes, config, models etc to Laravel. You need to go in app/config/app.php and add Former\FormerServiceProvider in the providers array. This is the equivalent of adding Former to your bundles.php file in Laravel 3.
• Second : As in Laravel 3 it will hook Former to Laravel but it will still be in its namespace, so you need to add the Former facade to Laravel, by adding Former\Facades\Former to the aliases array in the very same file. This step is the same than in Laravel 3 excepted that you reference a Facade instead of the actual class.

Thanks for that. Progress, but a new error message

Fatal error: Class 'Underscore\String' not found in
/path/to/vendor/anahkiasen/former/src/Former/Helpers.php on line 35 

Do I need to do something similar for other dependencies? I don't see a service provider in Underscore so I guess it works a bit different

Update Composer, I worked a lot on Underscore last night, some classes moved, and I forgot to update Former as it depends on Underscore.
