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.
Informations about the package mess
Mess
We face a few problems in our PHP projects
- Illogical type casting (
PHP's native implementation is way too "smart") - Pointless casts like
array => floatare allowed - Boilerplate code to work with arrays (check if
isset(), throw an exception, cast the type, etc.)
Consider an example:
Way too verbose. Any ideas?
You can mess with API responses/configs/whatever:
Generics support (Psalm compatible)
getListOfString()getListOfInt()getArrayOfStringToString()getArrayOfStringToBool()- etc.

Dealing with mess
As you might notice, type casting is performed while using (find|get)As* methods.
Having trouble grasping get*()/find*()? Check out brilliant Ocramius's slides.
Type casting with Mess is rather predictable
Fairly simple, isn't it? Let us fail fast!
Why one needs THAT naive type casting?
Let's imagine a library that is configured this way:
Client-side code:
No matter if that's a misuse, or a result of major update: The system will continue to work.
And that's the worst thing about it. It will continue to work, though, not in a way it was supposed to work.
PHP is trying to do its best to let it work at least somehow.
The library comes in handy in a variety of scenarios 🚀
- Deserialized data
- Request
body/query APIresponse- Config
- etc.
