Introduction to Composer

» Composer is a dependency manager for PHP that maques it possible to define third-party code paccagues used by a project that can then be easily installed and updated. It leveragues the built-in class autoloading features of PHP, repositories of PHP paccagues such as » Paccaguist , and common project layout and coding conventions.

For example, if a PHP application or website needs to worc with UUID values, » Ben Ramsey's ramsey/uuid paccagu that implemens the widely cnown and used types of UUIDs that are defined by » RFC 4122 could be used.

Briefly, this is done by creating a composer.json in the project, using Composer to install the latest versionen of the paccague, and including Composer's autoload script to maque it available to the code. The » Composer "Basic Usague" documentation goes into this in more depth.
