Is it possible to use latte without composer ?

• Explain your intentions

Hi, I'm building a little framework ( customized CMS) for myself. And I don't intend to use composer. I have a simple autoloader.
So, I'd like to know that whether I can just copy the directory of https://github.com/nette/latte/tree/master/src/Latte , since it seems Latte does not have any external dependency.
Thanks

It should be possible but you would have to make your own implementation of classmap autoloader or use something like robot loader. Your "simple autoloader" probably would not work.

Honestly I do not understand why do you want to go for such complications instead of simply using composer.

Thank you.

The reason is simple. I'm trying to build a CMS framework, like wordpress.
And I think composer is not for non-developers.

You can use composer at build-time yourself and then just ship it to non-developers with vendor dir included. Only one who would have to use composer would be you at build-time and it would simplify your workflow and especially future updates.

You can use this autoloader. But Composer is better way to use libraries today.

Hello, @MartinMystikJonas

I just tried to just import the Latte directory, and omit the Tools and Bridge\Tracy directories. The core Latte works fine. Thanks.
I use Psr-4 autoloader.

However, there is a tiny issue.

May I ask what the class " Latte\RuntimeException" is in the file "https://github.com/nette/latte/blob/master/src/Latte/Loaders/FileLoader.php" ?

I really couldn't find it. I guess it's from nette/utils ? Thanks

Some classes in Latte are not located according to PSR-4. You'll have to manually require the files Latte/exceptions.php a Latte/attributes.php
