Adding external libs to the project

Hi All,

Having the issue,

Cannot add the Phalcon mailer and use it in the project,

Doing same that instructions says .

I have config linking to 'libraryDir' => APP_PATH . '/app/lib/' in the lib folder I have a Mailer folder where I put the composer.json , folowed https://github.com/phalcon-ext/mailer

But after using the lib in the Controller I've got

Fatal error</b>: Uncaught Error: Class 'Phalcon\Ext\Mailer\Manager'

Code : 

use Phalcon\Http\Response;
use Phalcon\Mvc\Model\Criteria;
use Phalcon\Mvc\Model\Query\BuilderInterface;
use Phalcon\Di\InjectionAwareInterface;
use Phalcon\Mvc\Model\Resultset;
use Phalcon\Ext\Mailer\Manager;
use Phalcon\Ext\Mailer\Message;

class EmailController extends Phalcon\Mvc\Controller
{
    public function initialize() {
        if ($this->request->isPost()) {
            $this->view->disable();
        }
    }

    public function indexAction() {

    }

    public function sendEmailAction(){
        if ($this->request->isPost()) {

            $config = [
                'driver'     => 'mail',
                'from'       => [
                    'email' => '[email protected]',
                    'name'  => 'Email'
                ]
            ];

            $email = new Phalcon\Ext\Mailer\Message($config);
            return "send";
        }
    }

}

You have to follow Phalcon\Ext\Mailer installation instructions. There is no instructions about putting somewhere composer.json. Just install this library using typical for the Composer way:

composer require "phalcon-ext/mailer":"~2.0"

The last thing you need: make sure that you are using Composer autoloader:

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

So , in fact I did the same , it was successfully installed , but what I get after was

Fatal error</b>: require_once(): Failed opening required '../../../vendor/autoload.php' (include_path='.:/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.1.8/lib/php')

The structure od my project is

  • Root
  • -fromtend
  • -backend(phlacon)
  • --app
  • ---controllers (here I'd like to use the lib)
  • --public
  • --vendor
  • ---autoload.php

Also let me add that I'm using another libs , and the require() works good as well as usage of them ....

You have update public/index.php by adding require_once '../vendor/autoload.php';:

   /**
    * Read auto-loader
    */
   include APP_PATH . "/app/config/loader.php";
   require_once '../vendor/autoload.php';

Update thats fixed , needed to add include '../../vendor/autoload.php'; 2 directoties back , now dealing with

Service '\Swift_MailTransport' wasn't found in the dependency injection container<br><pre>#0

You have update public/index.php by adding require_once '../vendor/autoload.php';:

  /**
   * Read auto-loader
   */
  include APP_PATH . "/app/config/loader.php";
  require_once '../vendor/autoload.php';

This means you don't have Swift Mailer installed.

Use

composer require "swiftmailer/swiftmailer":"^5.4"

to install Swift Mailer

IDK how people end up with this - entire purpose of using autoloading and composer is to make it as simple as possible to load all your project dependncies at one place.

It maybe obvios for you , I use it for the first time , also , there was not obvios for me isue , now tnx to the Serghei , I know how to do it . I thought that forum is for helping Beginners also , aren't it ? Or when you start developing everything was clear to you and you have no trivial question ?

Sorry - I didn't mean to put you down! Not at all. I just seen too many times problems of this kind thus made that comment (which sounded too harsh). Of course that's what we have forums for - to ask questions and get answers!
