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.

Console — User Commands

An example of creating a command with SWEW-CLI.

The command must be inherited from the Swew\Cli\Command class and the class must be callable via the __invoke method.

The class must also have two obligatory constants.

NAME - necessary to call the command, it can also contain arguments.
The DESCRIPTION is a description of the command and is used to call the help message.

As a result of the execution of the command should return the result - the status code. If all was successful, it is 0.

By inheriting from the class Command - we also get auxiliary methods defined in it.

init(): void - will be run before execution (can be overridden)
arg(string $key):CommandArgument` - getting the argument passed to the command
argv(string $key): mixed - get value
getHelpMessage(): string - get help message for the command (can be overridden)
isValid(): bool - check if all required arguments are passed to the command correctly
getErrorMessage():string - Get an error message
call(string $command, ?array $args:) int - call another command
