Adding a non-laravel package to my Laravel project with composer
This is not a Laravel package, so you don't have Service Provider nor Alias to setup, but this is a PHP package and since you use Composer to install it, it is already autoloaded, so you can just:
Add the package to your composer.json:
{ "require": { "ghunti/highcharts-php": "~2.0" }}Run
composer dumpautoloadAnd instantiate it:
$chart = new Ghunti\HighchartsPHP\Highchart();Or use it in the top of your php:
use Ghunti\HighchartsPHP\Highchart;And you should be able to:
$chart = new Highchart(Highchart::HIGHSTOCK);Anywhere in your project and it should work.
You can create an alias in app/config/app.php for it if you prefer to use it this way:
'Highchart' => 'Ghunti\HighchartsPHP\Highchart'But you will still have to instantiate it
$chart = new Highchart();You won't able to use it as in Laravel
Highchart::doWhatever();Unless you create a ServiceProvider yourself, of course.
