 # Laravel Bitwise Trait
 Simple trait to use bitwise operators on any class
 Inspired by http://php.net/manual/de/language.operators.bitwise.php#108679
 
 I just used it in Laravel so far, but you should be able to use it anyhwere else with minor modifications.
 
 ## Installation
-Just put the file in app/Traits (create the folder if it doesn't exist yet) and you're good to go. 
-You are free to place it anywhere else, just change the namespace accordingly.
+
+You can install the package via composer:
+
+```bash
+composer require fanmade/laravel-bitwise-trait
+```
+That's all, no provider registration needed :)
 
 ## Usage

 You get the idea. Most times you probably only need an unsigned tinyInteger :)

 To set a property, just call the function like this:

 To get a property, just call the function like this:
 ```php

+The first parameter *('status' in the example)* is always the column you set in the database.
+Maybe you want to define that in a constant or variable.
