FAQ

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.
Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Additional Bacon QR backends

Some extra backends for Bacon QR.

These might work a bit more reliably than others, particularly in constrained hosting environments.

ImagickDumbBackEnd

The built-in imagick backend is (currently) broken in PHP 8. So this is a backend that wraps the SVG backend and pipes it through the convert CLI tool provided by imagick.

Generally we've found the PHP imagick extension a bit questionable anyway. Sprout 3, for example, departed from the imagick extensions in Sprout 2 and uses the convert tool exclusively.

Caveats: Might not work on Windows. Makes heavy use of proc_open().

GdImageBackEnd

This is a very limited backend but has enough bits to draw a basic QR code.

GD is widely available, more than imagick. So this is a big win for those tight environments.

Caveats: Many.

You might ask, why not write a renderer instead of an image backend? The answer is - I didn't even realise that was an option. It might be easier, might be harder. Might actually be far more robust. So maybe that's a thing for the future.

Usage

Contributing

Be sure to write a test. We've got some pretty funky stuff going on in there but it validates the use case.

Run tests with composer test.

Pleas also run composer analyse over anything before releasing.
