Frequently asked questions about Customer
- What is monofony/customer used for?
- It is the customer management component for Monofony e-commerce applications. It provides the customer model, repositories, factories, and services for creating, retrieving, and managing customer accounts, profiles, and related data. Use it when your Monofony-based application needs a consistent customer domain layer instead of custom account code.
- How do I install monofony/customer with Composer?
- Install it with Composer using composer require monofony/customer. Because it is a read-only split of the Monofony project, you should normally install it as part of a Monofony application rather than in isolation. Check the package composer.json for required dependencies and PHP version. After installation, wire the customer services into your application according to Monofony conventions.
- Is monofony/customer a standalone Laravel package?
- It is a customer management component built for the Monofony e-commerce ecosystem, not a general-purpose standalone Laravel package. It provides the customer model, repositories, factories, and services that Monofony applications use. If you are building a plain Laravel app, you can evaluate it, but expect Monofony-related dependencies and conventions. Always check the composer.json requirements before installing.
- Which Laravel versions are supported by monofony/customer?
- The package is tied to the Monofony ecosystem rather than a specific Laravel release, and the provided context does not list Laravel version constraints. Check the package composer.json for PHP and dependency requirements before installing. In a Laravel project, confirm compatibility with your framework version and other installed packages. Because this is a read-only split repository, version support is defined by the main Monofony project.
- How do I create a customer account with monofony/customer?
- The component provides customer factories and services intended for creating customer accounts. In practice you obtain the appropriate factory or service from your container, pass the required customer data, and persist through the repository. Exact class names and method signatures depend on the installed Monofony version, so inspect the package source or service definitions. Avoid instantiating the model directly if the factory handles required defaults.
- How do I retrieve customers by email or ID?
- Customer repositories in the component are the intended way to query customer records. Use the repository service from the container rather than writing raw queries against the customer table. Method names vary by version, so check the repository interface in the installed package. For custom lookups, extend the repository or add a query service in your application layer.
- Can I extend or override the Customer model?
- The component supplies a customer model, but extending it depends on how Monofony maps and configures the entity in your application. The common approach is to create a subclass or override the mapping and service definitions in your app rather than editing vendor code. Because this repository is read-only, any core changes belong in the main Monofony project. Verify the extension pattern against your installed version before relying on it.
- How should I test customer management code?
- Test your customer creation and retrieval flows with integration tests that use the real repository and database schema, plus unit tests for any custom services. Use fixtures or factories to set up known customer records and assert on persisted state. If you override the model or repository, include tests for those overrides. Keep tests isolated from production data and reset the database between runs.
- Is monofony/customer safe to use in production?
- It is a component of the Monofony e-commerce stack, so production suitability depends on using a supported Monofony version and following its upgrade guidance. Pin the package version in composer.json and review changes before updating, especially since this is a read-only split repository. Run your own integration tests for customer creation, account flows, and data migrations. Monitor for deprecations and apply security updates promptly.
- What are the alternatives to monofony/customer?
- Alternatives include building a small customer domain layer yourself in Laravel, using a broader e-commerce framework such as Sylius or Monofony's full application, or adopting another customer account package. Choose monofony/customer when you are already in the Monofony ecosystem and want its model, repositories, factories, and services to stay consistent. For plain Laravel apps, a custom model and repository may be simpler. Evaluate dependency weight and long-term maintenance before switching.
