Creating composer package for Codeigniter 4 - php

Question

I am trying to create my first composer package for Codeigniter 4. However, I always get an error Class 'Myapp\Settings\Greet' not found. I'm totally lost.
I created a folder inside the ThirdParty folder named myapp-settings. Inside of that folder is another folder called src and composer.json.
Here's the content of that composer.json
{
"name": "myapp/settings",
"description": ".",
"license": "MIT",
"minimum-stability": "dev",
"autoload": {
"psr-4": {
"Myapp\\Settings\\": "src"
}
},
"require": {}
}
I created a test file inside the src folder named Greet.php
<?php namespace Myapp\Settings;
class Greet
{
public function hello()
{
return 'Hey, there!';
}
}
On codeigniter's App\Config\Autoload.php
public $psr4 = [
'Myapp\Settings' => APPPATH . 'ThirdParty/myapp-settings/src'
];
Then on codeigniter's default controller I called it.
<?php namespace App\Controllers;
use Myapp\Settings\Greet;
class Home extends BaseController
{
public function index()
{
$h = new Greet();
echo $h->hello();
}
//--------------------------------------------------------------------
}
Once I run it I got an error Class 'Myapp\Settings\Greet' not found. APPPATH\Controllers\Home.php at line 9. How can I fix this?

Answer 1

Instead of editing the codeigniter's app/Config/Autoload.php, revert it and add these lines to the project composer.json:
"repositories": [
{
"type": "path",
"url": "app/ThirdParty/myapp-settings"
}
],
// "require": {
Then run composer require myapp/settings
Since I have also stuck at this problem, a GitHub repository is created just for it. You might check and clone, watch the commits to understand the steps.
