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 controller
The Controller Package 
Interfaces
Controller\ControllerInterface
Controller\ControllerInterface is an interface that requires a class to be implemented with the following methods:
executegetApplicationgetInputsetApplicationsetInput
Classes
Controller\AbstractController
Construction
The constructor for Controller\AbstractController takes an optional Joomla\Input\Input object and an optional Joomla\Application\AbstractApplication object. One or the other can be omitted but using getApplication or getInput without setting them will throw an exception.
Usage
The Controller\AbstractController class is abstract so cannot be used directly. The derived class must implement the execute method to satisfy the interface requirements. Note that the execute method no longer takes a "task" argument as each controller class. Multi-task controllers are still possible by overriding the execute method in derived classes. Each controller class should do just one sort of 'thing', such as saving, deleting, checking in, checking out and so on. However, controllers, or even models and views, have the liberty of invoking other controllers to allow for HMVC architectures.
Serialization
The Controller\AbstractController class implements Serializable. When serializing, only the input property is serialized. When unserializing, the input variable is unserialized and the internal application property is loaded at runtime.
Installation via Composer
Add "joomla/controller": "~3.0" to the require block in your composer.json and then run composer install.
