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 laika-framework
Laika Framework
A secure, fast, and flexible Moduler First MVC framework for PHP 8.1+, built with simplicity in mind. Laika gives you routing, models, templating, a service container, and a CLI generator — without the overhead of large frameworks like Laravel or Symfony.
✨ Features
- 🚀 Lightweight core — no bloat, no magic you can't trace back to a file
- 🛠️ Expressive router — route groups, named routes, regex-constrained and UTF-8 parameters, pipelines & filters
- 💉 Dependency injection — controllers, pipelines and filters are auto-wired from the service container
- 🗂️ PDO models & schema builder — MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, SQL Server, Oracle, Firebird, plus backups and a SQL converter
- 🧩 Service container —
Relayclasses give every service a clean static API - 🔐 Security by default — only whitelisted static files served, CSRF tokens injected into forms, CORS and security headers, encryption helpers, optional firewall (rate limiting, SQLi/XSS detection)
- 🔑 Multi-guard auth — session, cookie and database-backed bearer-token guards
- 🗃️ Sessions & queues — pluggable backends (file/database/Redis/Memcached sessions; JSON/database/Redis queues)
- ✉️ Mail — SMTP/sendmail sending and IMAP/POP3 reading
- ⚙️ Built-in CLI (
php laika) — scaffold controllers, models, pipelines, filters, jobs, commands, templates, and more - 📦 Composer-native — PSR-4 autoloading, each subsystem is its own versioned package
