modmore/Alpacka
===============

[](#modmorealpacka)

Alpacka by modmore is a base service class for MODX packages, and a (growing) collection of common utilities for MODX packages. It is meant to be included as a composer package.

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/20d732cfa0bb2123f866f50fbd22c05146e2dcfcec9887b0ae6de9f1591fcdde/68747470733a2f2f636972636c6563692e636f6d2f67682f6d6f646d6f72652f416c7061636b612e7376673f7374796c653d737667)](https://circleci.com/gh/modmore/Alpacka)

To use Alpacka, your base service class will need to extend the `modmore\Alpacka\Alpacka` class. There is a (very) simple example service implementation in tests/Example.php.

The service class includes a Pimple dependency injection container as $class->services.

[Documentation (work in progress) can be found in the wiki.](https://github.com/modmore/Alpacka/wiki)
