Requirements

• PHP >= 5.4.*

Standards

This package is intended to follow some standards for easy contributions and usage. Recently there has been an initiative to standardize the interoperation of frameworks, though I think this easily extends to most pieces of code everyone is building. The group behind all this is the PHP-FIG (Framework Interoperability Group), you should pay them a visit at their site.

There are already some standards marked as accepted (final): PSR-0, PSR-1, PSR-2 and PSR-3.

This package is intentend to be PSR-2 compliant.

Being PSR-2 compliant means this package can be easily installed by using Composer from the Packagist package archive. Just follow the instructions in section How to install. It also means that there's a guide for coding styles and the developers and contributors should enforce this for everyone's benefit.

    "axelitus/design-patterns": "<version>"
}

1. Run the composer installer to resolve dependencies and download the packages. Example:

$ php composer.phar install

1. In order to use the packages you have to load the autoloader that was generated by composer. Example:

require 'vendor/autoload.php';
