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 swotphp
Swot PHP :apple:
This is a port of the popular Ruby Gem, "Swot". As such, please do NOT make data contributions to this repository. Contribute any new academic domain names to the Ruby version of this package at https://github.com/leereilly/swot. Please follow the contribution guidelines noted on Lee's repository.
I will be pulling changes to upstream domain data.
If you have a product or service and offer academic discounts, there's a good chance there's some manual component to the approval process. Perhaps
.eduemail addresses are automatically approved because, for the most part at least, they're associated with American post-secondary educational institutions. Perhaps.ac.ukemail addresses are automatically approved because they're guaranteed to belong to British universities and colleges. Unfortunately, not every country has an education-specific TLD (Top Level Domain) and plenty of schools use.comor.net.Swot is a community-driven or crowdsourced library for verifying that domain names and email addresses are tied to a legitimate university of college - more specifically, an academic institution providing higher education in tertiary, quaternary or any other kind of post-secondary education in any country in the world.
Installation
Install through Composer.
Usage
The easiest way to get started with SwotPHP is to use a facade to access functionality. However, the base implementation is present as a plain ol' PHP object in case developers want control over the construction themselves. The implementation has an injected dependency on PHP Domain Parser, an implementation of a URL parser backed by the Public Suffix List.
Framework-specific facades / service providers may be added later. The native facade is a good example of how the object should be instantiated.

Known Issues
- Lack of automated data import from Ruby gem's domain list.
- There are architectural issues with the package resultant from differences in PHP and Ruby-isms. When I get time, there are two areas I'd like to focus on:
- Consolidate some of how the internal API flows while maintaining public interface.
- Implement a different mode of accessing the public suffix registry. Currently, the package is possibly abusing an excellent URL parser and I'd like to investigate the possibility of a separate component dedicated to modeling the Public Suffix registry's ruleset and algorithms.
