Hi,

I would like to use Lavacharts as a CodeIgniter helper. I put the src/Khill/Lavachart drectory in my helpers directory and created a lavacharts_helper.php file :

require_once APPPATH."/helpers/Lavacharts/Lavacharts.php";

Then, I try to call it with :

$lava = new Lavacharts();

But it did'nt worked. So I tried :

$lava = new Khill\Lavacharts\Lavacharts();

But I got a fatal error : "Fatal error: Class 'Khill\Lavacharts\Volcano' not found in application/helpers/Lavacharts/Lavacharts.php on line 118"

I don't use Composer or Laravel. Is it mandatory ?

Thanks

Yeaaaah, so when I was making this library, I didn't realize that all my class references were relying on composer's autoload functionality. I realized this once I was deep into refactoring for version 2, and so I decided that I would wait to fix this until the release. Now that V2 is in the wild, this is definitely on my list of todos. I'm looking into borrowing the symfony autoloader to allow use of the library in non composer/laravel environments.
I can make no promises for a completion date, but please keep an eye on the repo for updates! :)

I would highly recommend learning about composer and using it within your php development workflow. It makes adding packages and managing dependencies so much easier.

If you want to pull and test against the 2.4 branch, I have included a Psr4 Autoloader so you do not have to use composer (even though it is a great tool)
The only thing you need to do is also include the Carbon library before Lavacharts.

Here is an example:

<?php
  require_once('Carbon-1.18.0/src/Carbon/Carbon.php');
  require_once('lavacharts-2.4/src/Lavacharts.php');

  use \Carbon\Carbon;
  use \Khill\Lavacharts\Lavacharts;

  $lava = new Lavacharts;

  $dt = $lava->DataTable();

  $dt->addDateColumn('dates');
  $dt->addNumberColumn('numbers');

  for ($a=1; $a <= 30; $a++) {
    $dt->addRow([Carbon::parse($a.'-1-2015'), rand(100,200)]);
  }

  $lava->LineChart('Stuff')
       ->dataTable($dt);
?>

<doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>No Composer</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div id="chart"></div>

    <?php echo $lava->render('LineChart', 'Stuff', 'chart'); ?>
  </body>
</html>

Thank you very much. In the meantime, I started my project directly with the google API. But for my next project, I will test Lavachart again :+)
