I wanted to install via composer given information like this
{
"name": "bitcoin app",
"require": {
"slim/slim": "2.2.0"
}
}
I am unable to recognize do I have to write this to a php file and upload to the server?
Composer is a PHP based dependency management system.
That's a snippet of a composer.json file used to get & manage initial dependencies, to use it you'll need to have PHP & Composer installed and then create a file called composer.json in the location you'd like to have the project created.
Once you'd done that run composer install to get the dependencies. This won't actually install an app persay, you'll still need to make that yourself.
Scotch.io has a decent beginners guide to Composer if you're uncertain about how to install it & what it's actually used for.
No. You should write this to a json file named composer.json.
Then use composer to install the package: composer install
1) First you need to create or found composer.json
2) Then write your code in this file
3) In last you have to update composer.

I want to use a library that's registered with composer in Magento 2 admin.
The library is
https://packagist.org/packages/flagshipcompany/flagship-api-sdk
I have a custom module that adds a button to admin order view and on the click of the button, the controller is called. I need to use this library in that controller.
I'm very new to composer and Magento. I'm not even sure if my composer.json is correct.
I have executed composer install in my module directory and I have the vendor directory.
The directory structure is
Magento2/app/code/MyCompany/MyModule/
Controller/Adminhtml/ControllerName/Index.php
etc/adminhtml/di.xml
etc/adminhtml/routes.xml
etc/module.xml
Plugin/....
composer.json
composer.lock
vendor/[all the composer generated directories]
I need to use require 'vendor/autoload.php' in Controller/Adminhtml/ControllerName/Index.php. But everytime I put this line of code, it crashes.
Also, once I am able to use autoload.php, I need to create an object of class Flagship which is present at vendor/flagshipcompany/flagship-api-sdk/Shipping/Flagship.
TIA
Composer is a php dependency manager and it can be used with Magento as well. Here are the steps to install composer and check composer.json:
First open the composer.json file and add the following code to use the "flagship-api-sdk" package:
"require": {
"php": ">=7.1.0",
"flagshipcompany/flagship-api-sdk": "",
"phpunit/phpunit": "^6.5",
"tightenco/collect": "^5.7"
}
Then go to the folder where you have installed Magento and using terminal/command prompt, run the following commands:
composer install
Make sure you are connected to the internet, this process will take 3-5 minutes.
After this you can check if the dependencies are installed using
composer show
P.s Make sure you have php version 7.1.0 or above and using Magento 2.2
What are all the step by step process to install phrets in ubuntu?
I tried the following, but then unable to run phrets
First I got installed composer.
Then I ran composer require troydavisson/phrets
Now I have two files composer.json and composer.lock, and a folder named "vendor"
Inside vendor folder, I can see autoload.php file and some other folders
Now I tried the sample code from phrets git
But then am getting the following error,
PHP Fatal error: Class 'Monolog\Logger' not found in /var/www/testing/newphrets.php on line 7
Please advice what am missing here. Am planning to switch my project from old version to phrets 2.0.
Thanks
According to Troy's PHRETS 2.0 Logging video on YouTube and looking at PHRETS' composer.json, you can see that you need to do one of two things. Either,
(a) Add monolog to your project's composer.json,
{
"require": {
"troydavisson/phrets": "2.*",
"monolog/monolog": ">=1.10"
}
}
and run composer update in your project's root directory.
or,
(b) Since monolog is in PHRETS' composer.json file but in the require-dev section, run composer install --dev or composer update --dev to indicate you're currently in development and would like to use the development libraries.
Basic question about composer. I would like to test composer and install jquery with it.
I created a composer.json file inside a project subfolder (project_root/test).
{
"require": {
"components/jquery": "^1.11.2"
}
}
Then I opened command prompt (with path = 'project_root/test' = same folder of composer.json) and executed:
composer install
Problem: composer installs NOT ONLY jquery but also symfony and some other stuff.
It's true that I have a symfony project in another folder (totally different folder with different path) which is "under composer"... it seems that composer is "mixing" the two projects.
Any ideas?
P.s. I installed composer with the windows installer (I think it's called global install)
Looking on Packagist, it seems that the version of components/jquery you want to install requires another package (robloach/component-installer), which then requires some other things, which require more things, etc. Eventually, it looks like you end up getting to symphony.
Composer is recursive in that it installs not just the things your package requires, but anything that those things require, etc. This is why you are getting symphony.
I'm new to Composer and in my current project I would like to install a bunch of PHP libraries like:
Doctrine
Security Library (Which i have no idea but looking for in CodeIgniter)
Bootstrap layout libraries and other when necessary
For that matter , I would like to use Composer based library management in my application,
and i get confused that if i have to include composer.phar on my project directory or not.
since i have it on my environment path and I can run Composer form command line .
How can integrate the above libraries into my codeigniter application then..
Appreciate your toughs!
The composer.phar file is an executable and it should not be committed. What it actually does is that it looks in your composer.json file and there you can declare some more dependencies (libraries for example) and their version:
{
"require": {
"doctrine/orm": "*"
}
}
The version in this case is declared with "*" so Composer will get the latest version. This is very useful if there are more people on the project, to make sure all of them have the same version of dependencies installed (so the composer.json file must be committed).
If you run "composer.phar update" on the other hand, this will get the latest version of all dependencies, no matter the version placed in composer.json and updates the lock file with the new versions.
I have installed composer.
My project dir tree looks something like this
/home/myproject/public_html/myproject.com
I initially installed it in:
/home/myproject/public_html/myproject.com/bin/composer/
But later moved it to:
/home/myproject/usr/local/bin/composer
Questions:
Where to I create composer.json ?
In the official docs they mention that in order to install new packages I need to write a require key in the json format in that file, does this mean that I dont have to upload the package through ftp?
The docs further say that I can simply install dependencies like ths:
php composer.phar install
I dont understand the workflow of this process (im fairly new).. what exactly do I need to do to get some packages going (like Respect)
Composer has 2 basic elements for you to consider:
The composer.php file itself - this can be located anywhere on your system - usually it is convenient to have it in you search path so you can invoke it by name (no path) from the command line.
Composer.json - this file is the configuration for your project. This is usually best located at the top level of your project. Ideally this is a directory outside the scope of your web server - so that it will never be exposed or served.
Symfony2 has some great documentation and examples of composer in use.
Also be aware that some packages you reference via composer will themselves have composer files - to ensure they match your required dependancies - and they may also have their own dependancies that need to be considered.
I would install composer.json in the following
/home/myproject/composer.json
It would be out of scope of the web server and could be used to manage many assets e.g.
public_html/
libs/
config/
docs/
vendor/
Where to I create composer.json ?
You should create composer.json to your project root like /home/myproject/public_html/myproject.com/composer.json. If all files of your application live inside your myproject.com folder.
In the official docs they mention that in order to install new
packages I need to write a require key in the json format in that
file, does this mean that I dont have to upload the package through
ftp?
Yes as long as you're not in shared hosting because most of them don't allow CLI (SSH).
The docs further say that I can simply install dependencies like this
php composer.phar install
Yes you can simple type the above command and composer.json will install the latest version of your package.
Composer.json (Respect Package)
{
"require": {
"respect/validation": "dev-master"
}
}
Now run composer install will install the require package.
For further packages
{
"require": {
"respect/validation": "dev-master",
"doctrine/orm": "2.*"
}
}
Now run update composer update it will download the doctrine/orm as well.
