Installation

To install the Ivory Google Map library, you will need Composer. It's a PHP 5.3+ dependency manager which allows you to declare the dependent libraries your project needs and it will install & autoload them for you.

Set up Composer

Composer comes with a simple phar file. To easily access it from anywhere on your system, you can execute:

$ curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
$ sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

Define dependencies

Mandatories dependencies

Create a composer.json file at the root directory of your project and simply require the egeloen/google-map package:

{
    "require": {
        "egeloen/google-map": "dev-master"
    }
}

Optional dependencies

If you want to use Geocoding stuff, you will need Geocoder:

{
    "require": {
        "willdurand/geocoder": "*"
    }
}

If you want to use Directions or Distance Matrix stuff, you will need an http adapter:

{
    "require": {
        "widop/http-adapter": "1.0.*"
    }
}

Install dependencies

Now, you have define your dependencies, you can install them:

$ composer install

Composer will automatically download your dependencies & create an autoload file in the vendor directory.

Autoload

So easy, you just have to require the generated autoload file and you are already ready to play:

<?php

require __DIR__.'/vendor/autoload.php';

use Ivory\GoogleMap;

// ...

The Ivory Google Map library follows the PSR-4 Standard. If you prefer install it manually, it can be autoload by any convenient autoloader.
