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 wikimate

Wikimate

Wikimate is a PHP wrapper for the MediaWiki Action API that aims to be very easy to use. It currently consists of three classes:

The latest released version of Wikimate is v1.1.0, released on July 30, 2023. It requires PHP v5.3 or newer and MediaWiki v1.27 or newer. See CHANGELOG.md for the detailed version history.

Installation

Requirements: PHP, and Composer.

Before anything else, since Wikimate is written in PHP, a server-side language, you will need to have PHP installed to run it. Install it with your preferred package management tool (for example, on Ubuntu Linux you can run: sudo apt-get install php)

The recommended way to install this library is with Composer. Composer is a dependency management tool for PHP that allows you to declare the dependencies your project needs and installs them into your project.

Install Composer by following the instructions here.

Then, run the following command in your project's folder to download Wikimate and initialise it:

(or composer.bat require hamstar/Wikimate if you're on Windows).

To use Wikimate within another project, you can add it as a Composer dependency by adding the following to your existing composer.json file:

You can find out more on how to install Composer, configure autoloading, and other best-practices for defining dependencies at getcomposer.org.

Usage

In your script file (e.g. index.php), include the project's autoload.php file, and create a new Wikimate object with the target wiki's API address. Then provide a username and password to Wikimate's login method, to log in to that wiki.

This example uses echo statements to output any potential errors. You should get a meaningful error message if the authentication fails. Assuming you were able to log in, you're now ready to fully use the API.

See USAGE.md for detailed example code to perform common tasks.
