FAQ

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.
Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Informations about the package importer

FormatD.Importer

This package provides an XML-Importer for Neos Flow entities.

What does it do?

This package provides an XML-Importer for Neos Flow entities. By creating an XML following a specific structure you can for example create fixtures for tests or use it to import data and resources into the system for which you do not have a frontend for editing data. You can also import the entities only into memory and choose not to persist them (useful for test fixtures for example).

Running the import

Importing a simple file as one-time-import:

Import and updates

If you would like to later on update data you have previously imported you can use an optional parameter to inject the UUIDs into the imported XMLs. That way if you change it and import it again the entities are updated and not created again.

It is possible to reference other entities in the xml by specifying a id. If you have already imported stuff you can load this data into memory so that all references are loaded.

Using importer for test fixtures

The importer can be used as a convenient way to create fixtures for functional or end-to-end testing.

If you need some data in a functional test you can do something like this:

XML Structure for import files

Basic Example

Here is an example of a simple import-file. This creates two shippingRate entities and two timeFrame entities referencing one of the shipping rates.

The section <meta> contains only a mapping what repository is used for which entity. The <content> section contains arbitrary named sections such as <shippingRates> in our example. These Sections themselves contain multiple sections with a type="" attribute.

It is possible to split the imported data into multiple files prefixed by a 3 digit number (be aware that the files are sorted before import). You have to take care that referenced entities are already imported before referencing them.

Nesting and Relations

It is possible to define relations (ManyToMany or OneToMany) in a seperate section <relations>:

The importer works recursively and also imports nested structures:
