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.

Informations about the package virtus

Virtus

Virtus is a composer create-project scaffold for building HTTP APIs with the Meritum ecosystem. It ships a pre-wired meritum/http kernel with a clean structure ready to build on.

Requirements

Getting Started

Copy .env.example to .env and adjust as needed:

Dev Environment

Virtus ships with a devenv.nix for devenv — a Nix-based developer environment that provides PHP and Composer without requiring a system install. It also defines a local web server process.

Prerequisites

  1. Install Nix (the package manager, not the OS)
  2. Install devenv

Usage

Enter the development shell:

This activates PHP 8.4, Composer, and vendor/bin on your PATH. Your .env file is loaded automatically.

From inside the shell, install dependencies:

Start the local web server (PHP built-in server on port 8000):

The API is then available at http://localhost:8000.

Customising the environment

Open devenv.nix to add PHP extensions or services:

Uncomment the services you need — they start alongside the web server when you run devenv up.

Adding a Handler

Create a PSR-15 handler in src/Handler/:

Register the handler and its route in AppModule::register():
