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 data-encoder
DataEncoder
Eventually this library will be built out to do various types of data encoding. For now, only XML and RSS are available.
XML Example
Start out with an array of data structured the way you want the XML to be structured. Keep in mind that groups of objects should be included like the below array of "posts" where the key is the plural.
Then create a new XML Encoder object, passing it the array of data. After that, it's as easy as calling the render() method.
RSS Example
The process for creating an RSS feed is a bit different, as RSS feeds have very specific requirements. When instantiating a new RSS Encoder, there are three required and one optional parameter. For this example, I'll show the method calls and then describe each parameter.
$channelElements
An associative array of channel elements. Please note that per RSS specification, "title," "link," and "description" elements are required. Optional elements include "lastBuildDate," "language," etc...
$itemElements
To prevent a whole lot of processing before even instantiating the RSS Encoder to only pass the fields you want to include in the feed, the second parameter allows you to pick and choose which elements you want to include. Please note that these values correspond to the $dataMap array first and then to the item keys passed in through $data.
$data
An array of items in the feed.
$dataMap
In further effort to prevent a lot of processing before even instantiating the RSS Encoder, the final (and optional) parameter is an associative array mapping fields in the items passed $data array to RSS-specific fields.
