how to add new library to /vendor/

[jogorek]

Hello guys,

I want to add phpfastcache (https://packagist.org/packages/phpfastcache/phpfastcache) to WHMCS composer / autoload - what is the elegant way to do it? I triedfew diffrent ways, but nothing has worked well, would really be gratefull if somebody could give me an advise...

Instead of placing this in the vendor/ directory, try creating an includes/ directory in your module folder and pulling it from there.

That might work better for you as sometimes adding non bundled vendor dependencies in the 'vendor/' directory can have ill effects on the system especially during upgrades as it will overwrite the core files.

Another route is to as well place a vendor/ directory within the add-on module and then place your dependency requirements in the composer file and then autoload that from the {modulename}.php main file.

Please note, this is generally not something we support and it could break your install
