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?

Informations about the package html-truncation

md-php/html-truncation

md-php/html-truncation is a PHP component that provides contract and implementation to truncate HTML code.

Powered on top of libxml, dom and mbstring builtin PHP extensions.

Text truncation is the process of shortening a piece of text by cutting it off after a certain length, typically adding an ellipsis ... or another indicator to show that the content has been clipped.

It's useful to create snippets showing only relevant context around a keyword and especially useful to limit content of items in list, for example: generic entry content in admin list, blog articles content and so on.
