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 page-cache

Laravel Page Cache

This package allows you to easily cache responses as static files on disk for lightning fast page loads.


Introduction

While static site builders such as Jekyll and Jigsaw are extremely popular these days, dynamic PHP sites still offer a lot of value even for a site that is mostly static. A proper PHP site allows you to easily add dynamic functionality wherever needed, and also means that there's no build step involved in pushing updates to the site.

That said, for truly static pages on a site there really is no reason to have to boot up a full PHP app just to serve a static page. Serving a simple HTML page from disk is infinitely faster and less taxing on the server.

The solution? Full page caching.

Using the middleware included in this package, you can selectively cache the response to disk for any given request. Subsequent calls to the same page will be served directly as a static HTML page!

Installation

Install the page-cache package with composer:

Service Provider

Note: If you're using Laravel 5.5+, the service provider will be registered automatically. You can simply skip this step entirely.

Open config/app.php and add a new item to the providers array:

Middleware

Open app/Http/Kernel.php and add a new item to the web middleware group:

The middleware is smart enough to only cache responses with a 200 HTTP status code, and only for GET requests.

If you want to selectively cache only specific requests to your site, you should instead add a new mapping to the routeMiddleware array:

Once registered, you can then use this middleware on individual routes.

URL rewriting

In order to serve the static files directly once they've been cached, you need to properly configure your web server to check for those static files.

Ignoring the cached files

To make sure you don't commit your locally cached files to your git repository, add this line to your .gitignore file:

Usage

Using the middleware

Note: If you've added the middleware to the global web group, then all successful GET requests will automatically be cached. No need to put the middleware again directly on the route.

If you instead registered it as a route middleware, you should use the middleware on whichever routes you want to be cached.

To cache the response of a given request, use the page-cache middleware:

Every post will now be cached to a file under the public/page-cache directory, closely matching the URL structure of the request. All subsequent requests for this post will be served directly from disk, never even hitting your app!

Clearing the cache

Since the responses are cached to disk as static files, any updates to those pages in your app will not be reflected on your site. To update pages on your site, you should clear the cache with the following command:

As a rule of thumb, it's good practice to add this to your deployment script. That way, whenever you push an update to your site the page cache will automatically be cleared.

If you're using Forge's Quick Deploy feature, you should add this line to the end of your Deploy Script. This'll ensure that the cache is cleared whenever you push an update to your site.
