FAQ
Example:
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 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 better-reflection
Better Reflection
Better Reflection is a reflection API that aims to improve and provide more features than PHP's built-in reflection API.
Why is it better?
- You can reflect on classes that are not already loaded, without loading them
- Ability to reflect on classes directly from a string of PHP code
- Reflecting directly on closures
- Ability to extract AST from methods and functions
- Ability to return AST representation of a class or function
- Fetch return type declaration and parameter type declarations in PHP 7 code
- Moar stuff coming soon!
Typically you would use Better Reflection for static analysis tooling. It can serve as a baseline to access type information (e.g. doc blocks, type declarations), method/function body AST fetching etc. for static analysis.
Better Reflection is NOT suited to runtime usage, since performance is much worse than PHP built-in reflection. If you do not want to do anything that native PHP reflection can't do, then just use native PHP reflection! The "Better" in Better Reflection refers to feature, not speed!
Be sure to read more in the feature documentation.
