+--- Thread: Using a third party library without composer (/showthread.php?tid=92608)
Using a third party library without composer - occitan - 03-17-2025
I would like to use this library in a controller but without installing it with composer. How do i go about that?
https://github.com/MaestroError/php-heic-to-jpg
Where do I put the library and how do I properly namespace it?
Does this look correct?
require APPPATH . 'ThirdParty/HeicToJpg/src/HeicToJpg.php';
use Maestroerror\HeicToJpg;

1) Place the Library in app\ThirdParty
2) Open app\Config\Autoload.php
3) Add the Library to the $classmap
4) 'LibraryName' => APPPATH . 'ThirdParty/Libraryname.php',
5) Top of Controller - Use Libraryname
6)
PHP Code:
$library = new myLibrary();

Okay awesome thank you!
I tried the above, do I need to include anything at the top of my Controller like the use keyword?
If I implement the class like this:
// autoload.php
PHP Code:
public $classmap = [
'HeicToJpg' => APPPATH . 'ThirdParty/HeicToJpg/src/HeicToJpg.php',
];
// Controller in a method
PHP Code:
$fileIsHeic = HeicToJpg::isHeic($_FILES['image-input']['tmp_name']);
if ($fileIsHeic) {
Maestroerror\HeicToJpg::convert($_FILES['image-input']['tmp_name'])->saveAs($uploads_folder . $filename . '.jpg');
}
I get the error:
Error: Class "App\Controllers\HeicToJpg" not found

Yes,
You need to add the class with the 'use' keyword.
Try adding:
PHP Code:
use LibraryName
