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.
Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Informations about the package compiler

XP Compiler

Build status on GitHub XP Framework Module BSD Licence Requires PHP 7.4+ Supports PHP 8.0+ Latest Stable Version

Compiles future PHP to today's PHP.

Usage

After adding the compiler to your project via composer require xp-framework/compiler, it will hook into the class loading chain and compile .php-files on-demand. This keeps the efficient code-save-reload/rerun development process typical for PHP.

Example

The following code uses Hack language, PHP 8.4, PHP 8.3, PHP 8.2, 8.1 and 8.0 features but runs on anything >= PHP 7.4. Builtin features from newer PHP versions are translated to work with the currently executing runtime if necessary.

To run this code, use xp -m /path/to/xp/reflection HelloWorld in a terminal window.

Compilation

Compilation can also be performed explicitely by invoking the compiler:

The -o and -n options accept multiple input sources following them. The -q option suppresses all diagnostic output except for errors.

Features supported

XP Compiler supports features such as annotations, arrow functions, enums, property type-hints, the null-safe instance operator as well as all PHP 7 and PHP 8 syntax additions. A complete list including examples can be found in our Wiki.

More features

Additional syntax like an is operator, generics or record types can be added by installing compiler plugins from here:

Implementation status

Some features from newer PHP versions as well as Hack language are still missing. The goal, however, is to have all features implemented - with the exception of where Hack's direction conflicts with PHP! An overview can be seen on this Wiki page.
