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.

Clocks
SystemClock
A System Clock will return a time just as if you would use new DateTimeImmutable(). The time zone of the returned
value is determined by the clock's environment, for example by the time zone that has been configured in your
application, by a previously used date_default_timezone_set() or by the value of date.timezone in the
php.ini. If none of these are explicitly set, it uses the UTC timezone.
LocalizedClock
A localized clock is aware of the time zone in which it is located. While the time zone of the SystemClock is
determined from the environment (your PHP configuration), this clock uses the time zone that you initialize it with.
UTCClock
UTC is the abbreviation for Coordinated Universal Time
and a special kind of time zone that is not affected by daylight saving time. It is commonly used for the communication
of time across different systems (e.g. between your PHP application and a database, or between a backend
and a frontend). An UTCClock instance behaves exactly the same as an instance of LocalizedClock::in('UTC').
FrozenClock
A frozen clock doesn't move - the time we set it with will stay the same... unless we change it. That makes the frozen clock perfect for testing the behaviour of your time-based use cases, for example in Unit Tests.
MinuteClock
In some cases, microseconds, milliseconds, or even seconds are too precise for some use cases - sometimes it's just enough if something happened in the same minute. Using the minute
WrappingClock
If you already have an object with a now() method returning a DateTimeImmutable object, you can wrap it
in a WrappingClock to make it a "real" Clock.
as a "real" clock.
