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.

Installation
composer require improved/functionFunctions
function_pipe(callable ...$callables)function_all(callable ...$callables)function_trampoline(callable $callable)
function_pipe
callable function_pipe(callable ...$functions)Combine all functions, piping the output from one function to the input of the other.
Each callable should only require one argument, use short closures fn() if needed.
function_all
callable function_all(callable ...$functions)Call all functions sequentially. The arguments are passed to each function. The first argument is typically an accumulator.
Functions are expected to not return anything (void). If anything is returned, it's ignored.
function_trampoline
callable function_trampoline(callable $callable)Return a new function that decorates given function with tail recursion optimization.
In traditional recursion, the typical model is that you perform your recursive calls first, and then you take the return value of the recursive call and calculate the result. In this manner, you don't get the result of your calculation until you have returned from every recursive call.
The problem with traditional recursion is that it builds up a call stack, limiting the amount of recusion you should allow.
Warning: Uncaught Error: Maximum function nesting level of '256' reached, aborting!
In tail recursion, you perform your calculations first, and then you execute
the recursive call, passing the results of your current step to the next recursive step. This results in the last
statement being in the form of return recursive_function(params, accumulator).
The result is calculated via the accumulator, so the return value of any given recursive step is the same as the return value of the next recursive call.
Tail recursion optimization can automatically detect such a pattern and apply this as a consecutive call rather than nesting. Unfortunately this isn't implemented by PHP, so using a trampoline function is required.
Use function_trampoline in case of deep recursion (10+ levels).
