How to install this to a project? about parser-php

[slavafomin]

I came up with workaround to add this library to my project using Composer.

Add this code to the composer.json file of your project:

"repositories": [
    ...
    {
        "type": "package",
        "package": {
            "name": "NielsLeenheer/WhichBrowser",
            "version": "dev-master",
            "dist": {
                "url": "https://github.com/NielsLeenheer/WhichBrowser/archive/master.zip",
                "type": "zip"
            },
            "source": {
                "type": "git",
                "url": "https://github.com/NielsLeenheer/WhichBrowser.git",
                "reference": "master"
            }
        }
    }
],
"require": {
    ...
    "NielsLeenheer/WhichBrowser": "dev-master"
},

After that run composer install or composer update.

However, in order to update this package you will have to manually delete (or modify) composer.lock file and delete NielsLeenheer directory from vendors. Aftet that just run update again.

I would love if Niels will add composer.json support though.

Both Composer and Bower support will come soon. I'm right in the middle of refactoring, adding a test suite and splitting up the library and web service. Once I am done with that I will release an official 1.0 version proper package manager support.

Cool, thanks! Does it mean, that detect.php will be hosted on your server?

[NielsLeenheer]

Well... yes and no.

I have no plans of offering a hosted version to the general public. But I do host a version of it for html5test.com and allow other open source projects to use that hosted version as long as they ask nicely beforehand and if it does not add any significant load to the server.

But I do plan to split the project into two separate installable packages:

• a PHP library that can be used server-side
• the current web service that can be used from JavaScript client-side

I'm closing this bug. Further discussion can happen in bug #23.
