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.
Skip to the usage instructions if you already know the story.
Background
Craft relies by default on the mysqldump and mysql executables to backup and restore databases. The default backup command looks like this:
The problem is that, while mysqldump might be available in the system, PHP running under a web request doesn’t know where to find it because it’s not in any directories specified in the PATH environmental variable. This is true when running locally with MAMP. It’s also true sometimes on EC2 instances when running MariaDB on RDS.
For this reason, Craft provides two configuration variables for you: backupCommand and restoreCommand. You can write your own command with the full path to the mysqldump executable. For MAMP it might be something like this:
The thing is, Craft’s default dump command is really nice. It excludes unnecessary session, cache, and asset data. You can see how it’s built for MySQL in the Schema::defaultBackupCommand() method. What if you could just replace mysqldump with its full path and not have to roll your own command? That's what this module is for.
