serializable-closure VS Composer

Laravel's dependency on opis/closure has been replaced by laravel/serializable-closure. This should not cause any breaking change in your application unless you are interacting with the opis/closure library directly. In addition, the previously deprecated Illuminate\Queue\SerializableClosureFactory and Illuminate\Queue\SerializableClosure classes have been removed. If you are interacting with opis/closure library directly or using any of the removed classes, you may use Laravel Serializable Closure instead.

Delving into PHP frameworks like Laravel or Symfony is like building a skyscraper, with Composer acting as your "construction foreman," guiding you step by step to ensure your code is robust and awe-inspiring. This stage involves getting familiar with popular PHP frameworks such as Laravel, Symfony, CodeIgniter, etc., and utilizing the functionalities provided by these frameworks to rapidly develop efficient, maintainable web applications. Tools to consider: Laravel, Composer.

In our example application we will manage dependencies via Composer.

Our project template is equipped with Composer and an autoload class pre-installed. This inclusion in the repository streamlines the setup process, particularly for this access-token course. Composer, a dependency manager for PHP, simplifies the integration of external libraries and ensures efficient autoloading of classes. It plays a pivotal role in managing project dependencies, enabling developers to focus more on implementation rather than manual library management. If you're unfamiliar with Composer or need guidance on its installation, refer to the following link for detailed instructions: [https://getcomposer.org/] and this article for more details on the setup of the packages in this project.

On you Jenkins server, install PHP, its dependencies and Composer tool (Feel free to do this manually at first, then update your Ansible accordingly later)

Composer is a PHP package manager and it will allow us to use many out-of-the-box packages and features such as HTTP requests, logging, and templates and database management. I use it to develop large, complex applications.
