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 strong-types
PHP Strong Types
Enables strong types for PHP. This allows for tighter validation, especially when accepting input from users.
Why would anyone do this? This can be useful when developing APIs, and you want to require strict types. By defining those types/shapes ahead of time as classes, you can enforce incoming/outgoing data types, but also access the native values after the vaidation step has occurred.
It intentionally rejects and avoid any kind of "type massaging". If you pass an integer to StringType, you will get an exception. All errors are thrown as Exceptions with useful error messages.
Features
- BooleanType
- Collection (ArrayAccess)
- Enum
- FloatType
- IntegerType
- StringType (incl. Utf8String)
DateTime is already strongly typed, so use that class for strong date/time types.
Examples
We can do simple validation enforcement, which can be valuable in PHP 5.x. (Use strict types instead in PHP 7.)
You can also extend the base types to create more specific data types (aka, data shapes).

Coding Standards
PSR-0/1/2 are a solid foundation, but are not an entire coding style by themselves. I have taken the time to document all of the nitpicky patterns and nuances of my personal coding style. It goes well-beyond brace placement and tabs vs. spaces to cover topics such as docblock annotations, ternary operations and which variation of English to use. It aims for thoroughness and pedanticism over hoping that we can all get along.
