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 lum-core
lum.core.php
Summary
A small class with a singleton instance that can be used to manage the lifecycle of a PHP application, acting as a director for models, controllers, and views.
It also supports additional plugins that have a ton of extra functionality.
Despite the name of the package and class, this is not in fact the singular
core library that everything else in the Lum.php collections builds upon.
It used to be in the 1.x days, but has since become just the App Director
singleton class. See lum-compat
for the true fundamental core class that the whole PHP library set uses.

Note on Plugins
Prior to v3.0 most of the additional plugins were included in the core
package itself, but I decided that it made more sense to split them off into
their own packages. A suggested
lum-core-plugins
meta-package will be available to install all of the plugins that used to
be included in this package.
Creating a Core instance
You only need to do this once in your application, generally right at the
beginning (either at the very top of the main PHP script, or right after
a namespace declaration if the script itself is inside a PHP Namespace.)
The first line is a standard for anything using Composer, and the
second line is a compatibility function from lum-compat that allows
the use of classic SPL autoloading along side Composer autoloading.
The last line is the one that actually creates the singleton instance.
You cannot use the new \Lum\Core() style constructor with this class.
The constructor is protected and can only be called via getInstance().
Getting the current Core instance
Any time you need the Core, you simply call the getInstance() method.
Since this is using a singleton instance, it will always return the same object no matter where or how many times it is called.
Using plugins
The plugins are loaded automatically when first called. For instance:
The above example is written assuming lum-core-plugins is also installed,
as the conf and router plugins have been split into their own packages
and are no longer included by default, but lum-core-plugins includes all
of the split-off plugins.
