Registering Booting or Booted Callbacks

Problem

You want something to happen during the boot process.

You have a service provider you want to perform a specific task right before or right after the application is booted.

Solution

Use App::booting() or App::booted()

App::booted(function($app)
{
    // Code to execute right after the app is booted.
});
App::booting(function($app)
{
    // Code to execute right before the app is booted.
})

Discussion

Understand where this happens in the request lifecycle.

First, all the service providers are booted.
Next, any booting() callbacks are called.
Finally, any booted() callbacks are called.
