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.
Informations about the package streamer
Streamer
Streamer is an Object-Oriented API for PHP streams.
Why should I use Streams?
A stream is a flow of bytes from one container to the other. You already use streams a lot in PHP, for instance each time you load a file into memory (file_get_contents()). You should explicitly use streams each time that:
- You need to access data from a container, but you don't know the size of this container (e.g. reading from STDIN, or a web service using streaming)
- You need to start processing data from a container before the whole transfer is finished (e.g. start zipping a file before it's all in memory)
- You need to save time and memory
What is Streamer?
PHP has a very elaborate stream API ; unfortunately, it uses functions for most stream operations (except for wrappers - go figure). Streamer is a generic library focusing on offering an object-oriented API to streams, and only that.
Installation
Streamer is published on packagist.org, so you can add it to your composer.json file for an easy installation:
