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 fox
Many algorithms are generic. That is, the way the algorithm functions is independent of what the algorithm does to the underlying data. These generic algorithms can be wrapped in a reusable function.
This package provides reusable, generic functions implemented using the callable object pattern. You can nest these generic functions to solve more complex problems. See below and the docs.
Installation
Install with composer: php composer.phar require haldayne/fox ^1.0
Requires PHP version 5.5.0 or higher. No other PHP extensions are required.

Contributing
Your contribution is welcome! Open an issue or create a gist showing how you're using fox. If you want to add a new algorithm to fox, please keep these in mind:
- Please fork the repository and create a PR.
- Use PSR-2.
- Update tests so that you have at least 80% coverage.
- Choose something useful. If the algorithm takes many arguments, or exposes state after calculating a result, it's a good candidate.
Miscellaneous
These algorithms can be composed together. The repository name fox is an
abbreviation for f(x) said "f of x", which harks back to these functions'
compositional ability.
Both Go and Java have implementations of the Retry function with exponential backoff.
