FAQ

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.

Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Informations about the package cache-contract

Cache Contract

A minimal cache contract that defines only the essential operations for any temporary storage mechanism. It provides a simple, predictable, and pluggable interface so that different implementations can be used interchangeably in modular PHP applications.

✨ Features

Minimal and predictable API
A single CacheInterface defining the core operations: has, get, set, delete e clear.
Plug-and-play design
Any cache implementation can be swapped without changing application logic.
Framework-agnostic
Works with any architecture, from micro-frameworks to full-stack applications.
Lightweight by design
No dependencies, no assumptions — just the essential contract.

📦 Installation

🧠 Why?

Because caching should be simple. This package defines the smallest possible contract for a cache layer, allowing developers to implement their own storage strategies — file-based, memory-based, database-backed, distributed, or custom — while keeping a consistent interface across the entire application.

It allows any cache engine to be replaced without impacting the application code, promoting modularity, testability, and flexibility.
