- What does philippe2463/recherche-entreprises-bundle actually do?
- It is a Symfony bundle that wraps the French government's Recherche d'entreprises API. You can search companies by name, SIREN, SIRET or address and retrieve structured data such as legal form, APE code, headcount and location. The package is intended for PHP applications built on Symfony, not Laravel.
- Is this package compatible with Laravel?
- The package is described as a Symfony bundle, so it is not a native Laravel package and will not be auto-discovered by Laravel's package discovery. No illuminate/* constraints or Laravel service provider details were supplied in the reviewed materials. You would need to verify its composer.json constraints and likely wrap it behind your own adapter before using it in a Laravel app.
- How do I install philippe2463/recherche-entreprises-bundle with Composer?
- The normal path is composer require philippe2463/recherche-entreprises-bundle, but at v0.1.0 there are no release notes or documented install steps in the supplied materials. Check the composer.json for PHP and Symfony constraints before running the command. Pin an exact version or use a tilde constraint because pre-1.0 releases can break in minor bumps.
- Does this bundle support Symfony Flex auto-registration or Laravel package discovery?
- As a Symfony bundle it would normally be registered in bundles.php or through a Symfony Flex recipe if one exists. It is not a Laravel package, so Laravel's package discovery will not register it automatically. You must inspect the bundle class and any extension class to see what it registers globally.
- Which PHP and Symfony versions are supported?
- The supported PHP and Symfony version ranges are not specified in the provided review materials. At v0.1.0 there is no changelog or release note documenting compatibility. Check the package's composer.json for php, symfony/* and ext-* requirements before anything else, since an incompatible PHP constraint is the cheapest disqualifier.
- Does the bundle publish configuration files, migrations or assets?
- That cannot be confirmed from the supplied materials because there are no release notes or documented artifacts. Inspect the bundle for a DependencyInjection extension, Configuration class and any Flex recipe. Each published config file or asset becomes a permanent surface you own after installation.
- Is there a test suite or CI pipeline for this package?
- No test suite, CI status or static analysis evidence was supplied for v0.1.0. For a package touching a production Laravel or Symfony application, an absent test suite should be treated as a blocker rather than a preference. Check GitHub Actions, PHPUnit or Pest configuration and coverage at the tagged commit.
- Is v0.1.0 stable enough for production use?
- At v0.1.0 semver permits breaking changes in minor releases, so there is no stability contract. Pin an exact version or use a tilde constraint, install behind your own adapter interface, and prove it on a non-critical code path first. Do not adopt it in a path that owns money, authentication or data integrity during the spike.
- What company data can I retrieve from the Recherche d'entreprises API through this bundle?
- The bundle exposes the government API's structured company data, including legal form, APE code, headcount and location. Searches can be performed by company name, SIREN, SIRET or address. Data freshness and rate limits depend on the underlying French government API rather than the bundle itself.
- What are the alternatives if I need company search in Laravel?
- You can call the Recherche d'entreprises API directly with Laravel's HTTP client, use a maintained SDK, or wrap any package behind your own interface. Given the single-maintainer 0.x profile and missing release notes, an adapter layer is the safer choice regardless of which option you pick. Record a no-go rationale if due diligence fails so the decision is not revisited without new evidence.
