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 buildtools
JelixBuildTools
JelixBuildTools is a set of scripts
- to generate final source file from source file which needs a preprocessing step.
- to generate package to distribute sources
- to create "makefile" like in PHP
Creating a "makefile"
jBuildTools contains classes to ease to write build scripts.
A build script accept in parameters the name of an ini file containing some build options.
To create a script:
- You should define first an array, containing all options that can be in the ini file
- Then you call
\Jelix\BuildTools\Cli\Bootstrap::start()with the array. It then read the ini file and other options in the command line. - Then you can write your instructions
You can use several classes:
\Jelix\BuildTools\Cli\Environmentto read options value of the ini file\Jelix\BuildTools\Manifest\Managerto use manifest files. A manifest file is a file containing a list of files to copy in a specific directory. The syntax in a manifest file allows to indicate if a file should be preprocessed or not and how.
For scripts written for JelixBuildTools lower than 2.0 (jBuildTools), include the file
lib/legacy/init.php instead of the old jBuild.inc.php.
More documentation later.
