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.

PHP-Generics
Boredom and a day: Simple generics for PHP
What are generics?
Generics allows you to write type safe code against multiple types.
Installation
To install with composer add this to your composer.json:
The implementation
This library has taken advantage of PHP's namspacing and autoloading to emulate generic types. The generic classes are parsed, then converted into the required concrete types and stored in the configurated directory.
Getting Started
To get started with PHP-Generics must first set the following configuration:
DevelopmentMode- If development mode is set to true, the cached concrete types will be ignored and overwritten.RootPath- The root of your project, the namespaces and class names must correspond with the directory and file paths.CachePath- The path to use for storing the concrete implementations of the generic types.
All generic class files must end in .generic.php
A Generic Example
The below code demonstrate a simple generic type:
Note the use of the __TYPE__ magic constant, these are used as type parameters.
The constant will be replaced with the concrete class type as required.
You can also use multiple type parameters in the form of __TYPE1__, __TYPE2__ etc.
You can use type type parameters in any context: $Var instanceof __TYPE__, func(__TYPE__), __TYPE__::Foo() etc.
Note that __TYPE__ is an alias for __TYPE1__.
Using the generic types
The type parameters of the class are defined as sub-namespaces and are seperated by a special namespace _:
Creating a concete implementation of the above generic can be done like so:
Below creates a Tuple with __TYPE1__ as stdClass and __TYPE2__ as DateTime:
Limitation: All type parameter must be fully qualified:
If you have a namespaced class Foo\Bar\SomeClass this must be specified in the generic type parameter:
This creates a Tuple with __TYPE1__ as Foo\Bar\SomeClass and __TYPE2__ as DateTime.
Other uses
Generics can be used with inheritence:
Generic interfaces and traits are also supported:
Generic can be nested:
You can even extend/implement/use generic type paramerters:
