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 core

Polyctopus Core

Polyctopus Core is a lightweight PHP library for managing structured content and content types, inspired by headless CMS concepts. It provides a flexible, type-safe way to define content models, fields, and to manage content instances in your application.

Features

Versioning and rollback for content entries
Content Dimensions: Support for content variants based on arbitrary dimensions (e.g. brands, channels, campaigns)
Multilingual content and variants: Optional translations for any content or variant using locales (e.g. de_DE)
Event mechanism for custom application logic based on triggered events by accepting callbacks
Structured validation errors for better error handling
Test utilities for easy test data setup

Requirements

PHP 8.3 or higher

Installation

Install via Composer (assuming you have a composer.json):

Service Structure

Polyctopus Core uses a modular service structure for clear separation of concerns:

ContentService: Core operations for content (create, update, delete, rollback, resolve, etc.)
ContentTypeService: Manage content types (create, update, delete, list)
ContentVariantService: Manage content variants for dimensions
ContentTranslationService: Manage translations for content and variants
ContentVersionService: Manage content versioning and rollback

You typically obtain all services pre-wired via the InMemoryContentServiceFactory or a similar factory. The ContentService is the main entry point for all operations, and it uses the other services internally.

Example:

Creating Content

Validation

When creating or updating content, the service automatically validates the data against the field definitions of the content type.
If validation fails (e.g. a string is too long), a ValidationException is thrown, containing structured error objects.

Example:

Extending

Add new field types by implementing FieldTypeInterface.
Implement your own repositories for persistent storage by extending ContentRepositoryInterface and ContentVersionRepositoryInterface.
Create custom validation rules by implementing FieldTypeInterface or custom logic in your service.
Use the provided TestFactory for easy test data setup in your tests.

Usage Example

See the example-usage.php file in the repository for a complete example of how to use the library.
