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 cakephp_less

LESS Helper

This little Helper converts your .less files into .css without relying on Node.js or client-side parsing. Everything is compiled on the server, cached, and served as regular css through PHP.

Installation

Get the files in place

Composer

If you are using composer, simply add

"dakota/cakephp_less": ">=2.0.0"

to your composer.json file.

Git submodule

If you are developing your application with Git already, you can install the plugin as a submodule. In your git base folder type

git submodule add https://github.com/dakota/less.git Plugin/CakephpLess

Git clone

In your plugin directory type

git clone https://github.com/Dakota/less.git CakephpLess

Initialize lessphp submodule and download files

If you are using Composer, you can skip this step.

In the plugin folder ('Plugins/CakephpLess') type

git submodule init
git submodule update

Create cache and less folders

Usage

Where you want to use LESS files, add the helper. Usually this will be your AppController.

public $helpers = array('CakephpLess.Less');

Next, simply add the less files to your views:

echo $this->Less->css('yourfile');

or if the less file is located in the webroot of a plugin

echo $this->Less->css('yourfile',array('plugin' => 'PluginFolderName'));

or

echo $this->Less->css(array(
        'bootstrap/bootstrap',
        'prettify',
    )
);

It doesn't matter if you link to stolen .css files directly, the Helper will check for the existance of a .less version first, and fall back if it doesn't find one.

If it does find a corresponding .less file with the same name in your less directory, it will compile it to css and place it in your css directory
