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 id-generator

ID Generator

Build Status Code Coverage Scrutinizer Code Quality Latest Stable Version Download count

The ID Generator extension provides a minimalistic sequential numeric ID generation function. It was created by Professional.Wiki.

The wikitext {{#next_number:}} outputs 1 the first time it is used, then 2, etc.

Installable and usable without running the "update.php" maintenance script. Created as alternative to the IDProvider extension, since it cannot be installed via Composer and moreover requires an extra database table.

Usage

To get a new numeric ID:

{{#next_number:}}

The above function will output a new number on every reparse of the page. If you want a number to be generated once, you can use MediaWiki's subst function as follows:

{{subst:#next_number:}}

You can have multiple id sequences by providing an ID type. This type can be any string up to 60 characters.

{{#next_number:project}}

Number increment details

Example

A page with {{#next_number:}} {{#next_number:}} will output 1 2, assuming the extension was just installed. If the ID counter was already at 100, you'd get 101 102. If you then refresh this page you'd get 103 104.

Platform requirements

Installation

The recommended way to install ID Generator is using Composer with MediaWiki's built-in support for Composer.

Step 1

Change to the base directory of your MediaWiki installation. If you do not have a "composer.local.json" file yet, create one and add the following content to it:

If you already have a "composer.local.json" file add the following line to the end of the "require" section in your file:

"professional-wiki/id-generator": "~1.0"

Remember to add a comma to the end of the preceding line in this section.

Step 2

Run the following command in your shell:

php composer.phar update --no-dev

Note if you have Git installed on your system add the --prefer-source flag to the above command.

Step 3

Add the following line to the end of your "LocalSettings.php" file:

wfLoadExtension( 'IdGenerator' );
