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.

Informations about the package forex

Forex

Providing live currency exchange rates in Laravel and Lumen, with configurable provider and caching.

Overview

For live currency exchange rates, your choice of provider depends on various factors, including pricing, features, and reliability, which sometimes change. The purpose of this package is to provide a fixed exchange rate endpoint for your application, which can be configured to use one of the various popular providers, and re-configured at any time to use a different provider if necessary.

Installation

Via Composer:

Configuration

Configuration values must be specified in the application's .env file, or in your environment's $_ENV or $_SERVER arrays - all of these options are supported transparently. Below are sample configurations for the currently supported providers. You can also customize the cache refresh interval as described below.

Supported Providers

Currency Converter API (free)

Currency Converter API (paid)

Fixer (free and paid)

*The free subscription supports only EUR as the base currency.

Open Exchange Rates (free and paid)

*The free subscription supports only USD as the base currency.

Caching

Use the FOREX_CACHE_MINUTES environment variable to specify how long a rate is cached. Unless specified, the default of 720 (12 hours) is used. Setting this variable to 0 disables caching of rates. Using a longer cache refresh interval can help you to avoid interruption of service (or extra charges if using a paid service).

Usage

Tests

Tests can be run as described in the test documentation.
