Package Manager

zphp includes a package manager that uses Packagist, the same registry that Composer uses. Your existing Composer packages work with zphp.

Quick start

$ zphp add slim/slim
$ zphp install

This creates a composer.json, resolves dependencies, downloads packages, and generates a vendor/autoload.php that works with zphp's autoloader.

Commands

composer.json

zphp reads the same composer.json format you're used to:

{
    "require": {
        "slim/slim": "^4.0",
        "slim/psr7": "^1.0"
    },
    "autoload": {
        "psr-4": {
            "App\\": "src/"
        }
    }
}

Version constraints

Lock file

zphp install generates a zphp.lock file that pins exact versions. Commit this to version control for reproducible installs.

Autoloading

The generated vendor/autoload.php supports PSR-4 namespace mapping. Use it the same way you would with Composer:

<?php

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$app = Slim\Factory\AppFactory::create();
$app->get('/', function ($request, $response) {
    $response->getBody()->write("Hello");
    return $response;
});
$app->run();
