Question: Can this library be used without Laravel Framework? about laravel-zipstream

[jszobody]

It's definitely possible. Might take a bit to get it all wired up properly.

Laravel's illuminate/support dependency is required, as I use a number of things like Collections and Str helpers. If you install this package tho, illuminate/support will get installed automatically, as will the base maennchen/zipstream-php package. I don't think you should need to install anything else manually.

To get it working, you'll want to read through the Service Provider and understand how the components are created, and do it manually. It will probably look something like this (untested):

$archiveOptions = new ZipStream\Option\Archive();
$archiveOptions->setZeroHeader(true);

$fileOptions = new ZipStream\Option\File();
$fileOptions->setMethod(ZipStream\Option\Method::STORE);

$zip = new STS\ZipStream($archiveOptions, $fileOptions);

The main ZipStream class does make use of the Laravel config() global helper:

laravel-zipstream/src/ZipStream.php

Line 321 in 659e04e

&& config('zipstream.archive.predict');

You may need to create your own quick-n-dirty global config() function that replicates what this package is expecting. Something like (untested):

function config($key) {
    $config = [
        'zipstream.archive.predict' => true
    ];

    return $config[$key];
}

Obviously that could be improved on, it's just the most basic example of what this package would be expecting.

I think from there it might just work if you're zipping up local files from disk. If you are pulling from S3 though, you'll run into issues with the S3File class which is expecting more config() values. So make sure to extend your own config function with the needed S3 config parameters for your app.

(On that note though, I have a PR that changes how this works, the next version of this library won't use config from inside the S3File class.)

Feel free to try it out. I probably won't be able to provide a whole lot of non-Laravel support, but happy to take a look at any error you might hit if you need.
