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.

Informations about the package soak-time

Cotonet Soak Time 🛡️

A Composer plugin designed to mitigate Supply Chain Attacks by enforcing a "soak time" (minimum age) on all installed package versions.

Recently published packages or updates can sometimes carry malicious code (zero-days or compromised maintainer accounts). This plugin acts as a shield by completely hiding recent releases from the Composer solver, ensuring you only install mature, community-vetted code.

💡 How it works

This plugin intercepts Composer's PRE_POOL_CREATE event. It analyzes the release dates of all requested packages (including deep transitive dependencies) and drops any version that is newer than your configured threshold.

Composer will then gracefully resolve your dependencies using older, safer versions, avoiding the "dependency hell" of manual conflict resolution.

📦 Installation

Install this plugin as a development dependency:

Or install it globally to protect all your local projects:

⚙️ Configuration

By default, the plugin enforces a minimum age of 168 hours (7 days).

Customize this in the extra section of your project's composer.json:

Whitelisting Packages

Some packages, like security advisories or internal company packages, need to be updated constantly and should bypass the soak time filter. You can allow them permanently by adding an array of package names to soak-time-whitelist in your composer.json:

🚨 Emergency Bypass (Security Patches)

If you need to install a critical security patch that was released just a few hours ago, you can bypass the filter using the SOAK_TIME_SKIP environment variable:
