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.

Usage
Using the Service
The KnowledgeBaseService is the recommended way to interact with the knowledge base:
Creating Categories
Creating Articles
This automatically:
- Generates a UUID
- Creates version 1 (when versioning enabled)
- Dispatches
ArticleCreatedevent
Updating Articles
When versioning is enabled, this creates a new version entry with the editor and change notes.
Publishing & Archiving
Feedback
Feedback automatically increments helpful_count or not_helpful_count on the article and dispatches ArticleFeedbackReceived.
Search
Results are ordered by view_count descending (most popular first).
Using Models Directly
For queries outside the service, use ModelResolver:
Extending Models
Create custom models that implement the required contract:
