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.

Informations about the package typo3-better-api-composer-plugin
Better Api Composer Plugin
To provide extended functionality to the TYPO3 core we need to listen for loaded classes.
However, TYPO3 uses the ClassAliasLoader which registers itself (you can configure this now, but the default is still TRUE) as first possible autoloader (spl_autoload_register -> FLAG prepend is set to true).
The resulting problem is, that there is literary no way of adding an additional class loader to the stack.
Why do I need a class loader? Well, I have to bootstrap the extension as soon as the environment builder prepared the "Environment" class
to create the "core modding" class overrides. But there is no hook or signal or anything I could use to call said bootstrap other
than watching for required classes and trigger the better api bootstrap as soon as the "\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Core\Bootstrap" class is loaded.
This plugin is a temporary solution to the problem. As soon as I see a better one I will gladly drop this composer plugin again.
Usage in a development environment
If you want to install a package, that somehow depends on this plugin without running in a real TYPO3 project (aka. Dev or Test Scenario),
make sure you set the following flag in your composer.json to avoid crashes!
