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 converter
Converter
A small library to convert the input data for different literature standards like BibTeX, CSL etc. into each other. At the moment are supported BibTeX, CSL and RIS.
Installation
Via composer
Add to the composer.json the require key and run composer install.
Other
Make sure you are using a PSR-2 compatible autoloader.
Usage
To convert form one standard to an other:
Limitations
The built-in BibTeX converter has the following limitations:
- Non-UTF-8 strings are converted to UTF-8
- LaTeX escape sequences are converted to UTF-8 characters
- Enclosing braces are discarded. (Neither CSL nor RIS support explicit capitalisation.)
Adding a standard
To implement a new standard is quite simple:
- Create a copy of the folder src/Lakshay/Converter/Standard/Template
- Change the name to the new standard.
- Rename also the Template.php file to the name of the standard
- Replace every occurence of Template in the files Creator.php, Parser.php and Template.php with the name of the new standard.
- Implement the methods create and retrieve in Creator.php
- Implement the methods parse and retrieve in Parser.php
- Don't forget to write your PHPUnit tests and follow the PSR-2 coding standard
Tests
Converter depends on PHPUnit. Ensure that your dependencies are up to date by running composer update then call vendor\bin\phpunit tests to run all the tests.
