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.

In real world, "jack" is a tool that helps to raise your heavy car one inch at a time. So you can fix any issues down there and drive safely on journeys to come.



In Composer world, Jack helps you to raise dependencies one version at a time, safely and steadily.

Say goodbye to unnoticed, years-old dependencies!


Why Jack?

Manually upgrading dependencies can be daunting, especially when tackling multiple outdated packages at once. Large upgrades often lead to errors, compatibility issues, and costly delays.

Jack automates and simplifies this process by:


Install

Rector Jack is downgraded and scoped. It requires PHP 7.2+ and can be installed on any legacy project.

Then, pick from three powerful commands:


1. Too many Outdated Dependencies? Let CI tell us

Postponing upgrades often results in large, risky jumps (e.g., updating once a 3 years). Jack integrates with your CI pipeline to catch outdated dependencies early.

Run the breakpoint command to check for outdated major packages:

↓


If there are more than 5 major outdated packages, the CI will fail.


Use --limit to raise or lower your bar:

This ensures upgrades stay on your radar without overwhelming you. No more "oops, our 30 dependencies are 5 years old" moments!


It's safer to start upgrading dev packages first. You can spot them like this:


2. Open up Next Versions

We know we're behind the latest versions of our dependencies, but where to start? Which versions should be force to update first? We can get lot of conflicts if we try to bump wrong end of knot.

Instead, let Composer handle it. How? We open-up package versions to the next version:

This command opens up 5 versions to their next nearest step, e.g.:

Then we run Composer to do the work:

If no blockers exist, Composer will update packages to their next version.


To change the number of packages, use --limit option:


To upgrade only specific group of packages, use --package-prefix option:


To preview changes without modifying composer.json, add --dry-run.


Do you want to play it safe? Try low-risk dev packages first:


3. Raise to Installed Versions

Sometimes, we get to an opposite situation. Our dependencies are quite new, but our composer.json is a outdated:

Here we can see that:

If someone runs composer update, they might get unnecessary older dependencies than we can handle. Also, we're self-deprecating out project by signalling old dependencies we don't even use.

Instead, we should raise our composer.json to the installed versions:

That's exactly what following command does:

To see changes first without applying, add --dry-run.


Happy coding!
