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 duoclock
DuoClock
DuoClock is a PSR-20-compatible clock abstraction. It provides dual time access (DateTimeImmutable, int, float) and mockable sleep functions (sleep, usleep, and more) for testing time-sensitive code.
Features
- Implements
Psr\Clock\ClockInterface. - Provides:
now(): DateTimeImmutabletime(): intmicrotime(): float
- Offers mockable
sleep(),usleep(),nanosleep(), andtime_nanosleep()for test environments. - Provides
getStartTick()andgetEndTick()for measuring elapsed time. - Mockable time methods:
now(),time(), andmicrotime(). - Includes a deterministic
TimeSpyfor testing. - Is minimal, with a lightweight design (depends only on
psr/clock). - Has all classes non-final to allow easy mocking and testing.

TimeSpy, as a testing-time dependency:
Mocking and Spies
The recommended approach is to always use TimeSpy for testing ($clock = new TimeSpy();) because calls to $clock->sleep() and $clock->usleep() do not delay execution even if you do not specifically mock them.
Why DuoClock Exists
PHP now has PSR-20, a standard interface for representing the current time using immutable objects. This interface works well for many applications, but assumes that all time-based code should consume DateTimeImmutable. In practice, testing time-based code often requires mocking and emulating sleep() and usleep(), especially for retry logic, timeout simulations, or rate limiters. You do not want to wait for literal seconds for your sleep() tests to pass! PSR-20 offers no solution for this, which is where DuoClock steps in.
