You're right, you don't need to put anything in the provides() method since you aren't binding anything with register().

I believe provides() is only used for deferred service providers, i.e. service providers that don't get run when the framework boots, but when a service they provide is requested from the IoC container. When Laravel compiles, it checks what services each deferred service provider provides, caches that in the storage/meta/services.json file which can then be looked up to find out which service provider class to execute to get the requested binding registered.

I've been reading around and I thought it would be something like this.

There are various tutorials on creating a Laravel's package, but none of them talks about the purpose of the provides() method. It's clearer to me now.

Thanks maknz!
