FAQ
Example:
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 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 pathetic
Pathetic
Pathetic is a simple PHP library consisting just of couple of classes. It is aimed to help with platform-independent path work, so you can run the same code, fnmatch checks and comparisons regardless of specific machine your project is running on.
And yes, it is influenced by java.nio.Path.
Installation
Usage
You start with classic string and Path::parse method:
Second argument should be used only when you operate with paths for specific platform - by default, it is calculated automatically.
After you've obtained path instance, you can simply convert it to string to get consistent-delimiter representation:
This will save you from awkward moments when you append
directory/file to windows path and then try to compare it with path
received from OS (which will contain directory\file instead), also,
it makes it pretty easy to use fnmatch glob patterns
platform-independently.
If you ever to need platform-consistent representation, you may use
toPlatformString() method:
Except for those basic operations, Pathetic allows basic path normalization, path concatenation (resolution), path relativization and path comparison.
At last, there are some helper methods you may want to use:
Major notes
All path operations are non-destructive, and all path instances are
immutable - whenever #normalize(), #relativize() or #withRoot()
are called, new object is created instead of modifying old one.
There is edge case with current directory - while one may expect
that normalized relative path of current directory will render down
to dot ('.'), this won't happen - it will be rendered to empty string
(''). However, while you don't call for normalization, your path will
stay as-is.
Windows has two types of absolute paths - with and without drive
letter, (\Users and C:\Users, for example). Both types are
treated as absolute by Pathetic - it's up to end user to determine if
he or she has to specify drive letter to not to inherit it from current
working directory. This is, of course, a drawback, but unless that
absolute path is inherited from user input - which should be
intentional thing - that shouldn't happen.
