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 global-namespace
Global Namespace
This library provides a namespace for functions that are called globally, like PHP Built-in functions.
This might sound weird, so let me introduce an example to show what it can do.
Example
Imagine that you have an application that uses rand(0, 1) and you want to assert what happens when it returns 0 or 1
Let's scaffold that class
If you create a test to assert the results you will find a stopper: How can we mockup rand() to force it to return 0 or 1?. This package provides a solution for this question.
First, require this package on your application.
Now, update your application to prefix rand() with the global namespace.
PHP::rand() will simply call the built-in PHP function so your application behaviour will not change.
This works as expected but is not yet fully testeable because the PHP dependency is hardcoded and it cannot be mocked.
Let's add it in the constructor so we can use any PHP implementation.
Nice. Now you can mockup rand() with Mockery and assert the application code:
Check this demo application for a more complete example
About
This library calls any global function, not only those that are built-in.
Helper classes
If you do not want to use Mockery, or if you are working on test environment that does not fit with it, you may use some helper classes that come with this package
IgnoreMissing
It works the same way, but it will ignore a function if it does not exist.
This can be useful if you have a function that you cannot be mocked for some reason.
IgnoreAlways
Use it if, for some reason, you want to directly skip all function calls.
It does not matter if the function exists or not.
