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.

Informations about the package phpstan-dev

xactsystems/phpstan-dev

A package to extract and provide PHPStan source code for developing custom rules.

PHPStan does not provide a method to load the source code via a package manager. Instead it needs extracting from the .phar archive.

If you use PHPStorm of PHP Tools by DEVSENSE then this issue is covered, but not everyone does!

Personally I think this whole approach goes against the ethos of a package manager, it should just be a package!

So, I've created this composer plugin that requires phpstan as a dependency, extracts the source code, and links the PHPStan namespace to it.

Installation

To use this extension, require it in Composer:

Authorise the plugin, please answer y to the following prompt: xactsystems/phpstan-dev contains a Composer plugin which is currently not in your allow-plugins config. See https://getcomposer.org/allow-plugins Do you trust "xactsystems/phpstan-dev" to execute code and wish to enable it now? (writes "allow-plugins" to composer.json) [y,n,d,?] y

Usage

This plugin will expose the \PHPStan namespace so that you can create your custom rules and collectors.

See the following pages for more details: https://phpstan.org/developing-extensions/rules https://phpstan.org/developing-extensions/collectors

Why a plugin?

Although there are events within the Composer ecosystem, none of these fire for the packages being managed, they fire only for the top level package that is requiring them. Composer plugins on the other hand fire within the package being required.

In this situation we simply use the Activate method to check and see if the PHPStan source code has been extracted. If it's not we do so.
