composer.json / cakephp - php

Question

I want to use: https://github.com/mikealmond/MusicBrainz
Copied the lib in myapp->vendor Folder. Installed Guzzle with composer and updated composer.
use GuzzleHttp\Client;
use MusicBrainz\Filters\ArtistFilter;
use MusicBrainz\Filters\RecordingFilter;
use MusicBrainz\HttpAdapters\GuzzleHttpAdapter;
use MusicBrainz\MusicBrainz;
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
The autoload does not work. I tried many things and don't know, what to write in the composer.json.
Error: Class 'MusicBrainz\MusicBrainz' not found
When i call:
$brainz = new MusicBrainz(new GuzzleHttpAdapter(new Client()));
I tried in composer.json
"require-dev": {
"vendor/MusicBrainz": "dev-master"
},
"repositories": [
{
"type": "vcs",
"url": "https://github.com/mikealmond/MusicBrainz.git"
}
],
Then composer update...
And i get:
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.
Problem 1
- The requested package src/musicbrainz could not be found in any version, there may be a typo in the package name.
Potential causes:
- A typo in the package name
- The package is not available in a stable-enough version according to your minimum-stability setting
see <https://getcomposer.org/doc/04-schema.md#minimum-stability> for more details.

Answer 1

Go to the linked repository page on Github. In the root folder, click on the file named composer.json. Search for a line with "name". The text right to it is the name of this package that you have to use in Composer.
Alternatively, go to https://packagist.org and type something close to the actual name into the search field, like musicb. Something will be found: https://packagist.org/search/?q=musicb
In any case, you will find the package name: mikealmond/musicbrainz.
Now go to the command line and type: composer require mikealmond/musicbrainz. Composer will do the rest, including the download of Guzzle because this is declared as a dependency.
After that step, the demo code will work - or at least will not fail because of missing classes.
