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.

  • 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.

Informations about the package assert

This package provides an alternative to PHP's assert() that allows for an simple and reliable way to check preconditions and postconditions in PHP code. It was proposed as a MediaWiki RFC, but is completely generic and can be used by any PHP program or library. It is published under the MIT license, see the COPYING file.

Usage

The Assert class provides several static methods for checking various kinds of assertions. The most common kind is to check the type of a parameter, typically in a constructor or a setter method:

Checking parameters, or other assertions such as pre- or postconditions, is not recommended for performance critical regions of the code, since evaluating expressions and calling the assertion functions costs time.

Rationale

The background of this proposal is the recurring discussions about whether PHP's assert() can and should be used in MediaWiki code. Two relevant threads:

The outcome appears to be that

Following a suggestion by Tim Starling, this package provides an alternative to PHP's built in assert().
