Including Composer Packages

Since ff uses its own class autoloader mechanism, that is incompatible with psr-4, it is also not compatible with composer's autoloader.

To include third party composer packages in your project, do like this:

In your project plugin folder create a folder named libs and put the package's composer.json there.
After installing with composer install it should now contain the vendor folder.
In your project plugin's classes folder add a file ìnclude.php with the following content:

<?php
require_once realpath(pathinfo(__FILE__, PATHINFO_DIRNAME) . '/../libs/vendor/autoload.php');

you can now use the package as described in their specs and composer update to keep it up to date.
