Dear Developers,
I am trying to use composer.json in my custom application to load some external libraries, for example html2text/html2text

I added:

“require”: {
“fxp/composer-asset-plugin”: “^1.2.2”,
“html2text/html2text”: “^4.0”
}

to the composer.json file in the root directory of my application.
Then I executed

composer.phar update

in that same root directory and html2text was installed in the vendor directory of my application.
But when I tried to use html2text/html2text in my application the system told me that it could not find html2text/html2text. To solve this I added:

require ‘/var/www/egroupware/MY_APP/vendor/autoload.php’;

to my code.
Then it worked.
Is there a way to trigger the autoloading without adding the line above?
Thank you and best regards
Alex

That how it need to be done, unless you install your app via composer into EGroupware, then compose would load the apps dependencies into the top vendor directory, which we use for autoloading automatically.

We have a html2text processor on board, which you can use:
