ThirdParty Libraries usage - iamolo - 07-10-2017
Good day,
I have been trying to use Symfony yaml library on my CodeIgniter4 based project , I have added the necessary dependencies using composer.
The Sysmfony library is downloaded to ThirdParty/sysmfony.
I have included the necessary Symfony\Component\Yaml\Parser namespace on my controller as the code snippet hereunder shows, however, when i run this code it results into an exception "Class 'Symfony\Component\Yaml\Parser' not found", could someone kindly guide me in the right direction , and show me how to integrate and successfully use third party libraries in CodeIgniter4.
Thank you kindly.
PHP Code:
<?php
namespace App\Controllers;
use Config\App;
use CodeIgniter\HTTP\URI;
use \App\Libraries\BackendController;
use Entities\Claim;
use Services\ClaimService;
use CodeIgniter\HTTP\IncomingRequest;
use \Config\Services;
use \Symfony\Component\Yaml\Parser;
public function create() {
/*
* Read settings
*/
$yaml = new Parser();
$settings = $yaml->parse(APPPATH . 'Config/app_config.yaml');

Being Symfony, I imagine it's all available through Composer, so just do it all through Composer. Don't worry about using the third party directory at all.
So:
1. add it as a requirement to your composer.json
2. composer update to install it
3. load the class like any other autoloaded class:
Code:
$yaml = new Parser();That should do it.
