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.

What is Hawk?

According to the Hawk's API documentation:

Hawk is an HTTP authentication scheme providing mechanisms for making authenticated HTTP requests with partial cryptographic verification of the request and response, covering the HTTP method, request URI, host, and optionally the request payload.

Note that Hawk is not a complete replacement of OAuth. It is candidly stated in the Frequently Asked Questions section of the Hawk API documentation that:

Hawk was originally proposed as the OAuth MAC Token specification. However, the OAuth working group in its consistent incompetence failed to produce a final, usable solution to address one of the most popular use cases of OAuth 1.0 - using it to authenticate simple client-server transactions (i.e. two-legged). As you can guess, the OAuth working group is still hard at work to produce more garbage.

Hawk provides a simple HTTP authentication scheme for making client-server requests. It does not address the OAuth use case of delegating access to a third party. If you are looking for an OAuth alternative, check out Oz.

Usage Examples

The examples in this section do not work without modification. However, these examples should be enough to demonstrate how to use this package. Because PHP is a language most commonly used for server logic, the "Server" usage is more common than the "Client" usage.
