After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

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 PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • 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.

Using the Facebook Package

The Facebook package is designed to be a straightforward interface for working with Facebook. It is based on the Graph API. You can find documentation on the API at http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/.

Instantiating Facebook

Instantiating Facebook is easy:

This creates a basic Facebook object that can be used to access publicly available resources on facebook.com which don't require an active access token.

Sometimes it is necessary to provide an active access token with the required permissions. This can be done by instantiating OAuth.

Create a Facebook application at https://developers.facebook.com/apps in order to request permissions. Instantiate OAuth, passing the Registry options needed. The API key, API secret and callback URL (which is the script's path) from the Facebook application are passed through the Registry object. By default you have to send headers manually in your application, but if you want this to be done automatically you can set Registry's option 'sendheaders' to true.

Now you can authenticate and request the user to authorise your application in order to get an access token, but if you already have an access token stored you can set it to the OAuth object and if it's still valid your application will use it.

When calling the authenticate() method, your stored access token will be used only if it's valid, a new one will be created if you don't have an access token or if the stored one is not valid. The method will return a valid access token that's going to be used.

Set scope to the OAuth object. Scope is a comma separated list of requested permissions:

Accessing the Facebook API's objects

The Facebook package has 12 objects of the Graph API currently implemented:

Once a Facebook object has been created, it is simple to use it to access Facebook:

This will retrieve an array of Post objects containing (up to) the last 25 posts.
