After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Informations about the package newtype

newType - Create an opaque type with a single line of code

newType() is a handy function for creating opaque types, that is, a type that merely wraps another type. It takes two parameters: the name of your new wrapper type, and the name of the type you want to wrap. You get a class with a constructor taking a value of the wrapped type, and an ->unbox() method to get out the value of the wrapped type.

Require it with composer require ajf/newtype to use it. It's PHP 7-only, since PHP 7 is the first version of PHP with scalar type declarations. It would be possible to backport this, though.

An example of where you might use this:

Use it for that extra bit of type safety!

If you're after a mere alias that doesn't require explicit conversion to and from, check out PHP's built-in class\_alias function - though beware that only works with classes and not primitive types.

The name comes from Haskell's newtype declaration, which does the same thing:

It's similar to Hack's newtype declaration as well, although that works a little differently.
