CodeIgniter HTMX

I have no plans of supporting PHP 7.4, but you can certainly install this library manually and make the necessary changes. I would search for things like match, str_starts_with and union types in method parameters. It shouldn't be hard.

Thanks, it was not hard actually. I have created a fork and made it work with php7, here: https://github.com/dgvirtual/codeigniter-htmx

One can install it manually and the @michalsn's  codeigniter-htmx-demo app seems to work flawlessly with it (the demo app itself seems not to contain any PHP8-only code).

I did not test it the proper way though; I tried running composer test and

For now, unfortunately, I was unable to add a possibility to install it via composer. Tried this:

adding to the app's composer.json file repositories key:

Code:

    "repositories": {
        "codeigniter-htmx": {
            "type": "vcs",
            "url": "[email protected]:dgvirtual/codeigniter-htmx.git"
        },
    }

and then issuing command

Code:

composer require michalsn/codeigniter-htmx:php7port

still complains about PHP version:

Code:

  [InvalidArgumentException]                                                                                                       
  Package michalsn/codeigniter-htmx has a PHP requirement incompatible with your PHP version, PHP extensions and Composer version: 
    - michalsn/codeigniter-htmx v1.1.0 requires php ^8.0 which does not match your installed version 7.4.3. 

And if one tries to ignore the PHP version:

Code:

composer require michalsn/codeigniter-htmx:dev-php7port  --ignore-platform-reqs

Composer still complains:

Code:

[InvalidArgumentException]                                                                                           
  Could not find package michalsn/codeigniter-htmx in a version matching "dev-php7port" and a stability matching "dev".

If anyone could look into that, we could make it installable via composer.
