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 composer-plugin-license-check

metasyntactical / composer-plugin-license-check

This composer plugin allows to define a white- and/or blacklist of licenses packages which will be installed in a project will be validated against. If a forbidden license is found in a package the installation of the particular package will be failed.

Additionally a new composer command check-licenses is provided to list all packages in the dependencies including their license and if it is allowed to use.

How to install

Installation procedure follows the general installation process of packages with composer.

Run composer require metasyntactical/composer-plugin-license-check to add the package to the composer.json and install the package.

How to use

The composer plugin reacts on extra variables in the extra-section of the composer.json.

Just specify the allowed or forbidden licenses as array. Use the license identifiers allowed/used in the version-property of the composer.json to be compatible with the general usage.

One may specify additional packages which are allowed despite of license violations. As key the package name has to be used (similar to require and require-dev) and it allows for specifying semantic versioning constraints as value (which currently is not checked!).

Important Note: This plugin is licensed under MIT license. Even if you forbid to use MIT licensed packages in your project the plugin itself is the only package it would not complain about (otherwise further checking would not work obviously).
