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.
This Yii2 command can fill your database with fake data. Useful if you need lot of fake data, 1 mil rows and more.
You can switch between different data generators (or write your own) and different database connectors.
Props:
you can write own sources of fake data (proxy to fzaninotto/Faker included)
different connectors to datbase for save data. ActiveRecord - slow but with model logic, YiiDAO - fast batch insert,
TODO: postgresql COPY connector.
Generators included:
FakeGenerator: this is proxy to Faker
and use same logic, paths and templates as yii2-faker . Read yii2-faker
documentation about creating fixtures template file
Database connectors (called here as dbproviders):
Csv: simple csv writer
ActiveRecord: create model, fill with data and call ->save()
YiiDAO: insert data using sql (via Yii's PDO), can insert multiple rows per one insert
Installation

You should configure your application as follows
