Write a reusable module
-----------------------

[](#write-a-reusable-module)

This is an example and mini tutorial on how to create a module that you can pull in with composer. It would be a good idea to have a basic understanding of autoloading and namespaces prior to creating your module.

### Writing the module

[](#writing-the-module)

- Copy this project into a new directory
- Edit the composer.json with the details of your module
- The autoload field means all the classes will be included under the specified namespace.
- Tag your module

    git tag 1.0.1

    git push origin --tags

### Including the module

[](#including-the-module)

Update your project's composer file.

Specify where the repo is

```
"repositories": [
    {
        "type": "vcs",
        "url": "https://github.com/rayzor65/module-tutorial" // Change this to your module
    }
]

```

Then add to require

```
    "require": {
        "rayzor65/module-tutorial": "1.0.1" // Change this to your module
    }

```

Now you may you the class in your project like so

```
use ModuleTutorial\MyModule\MyService;

class ProjectClass
{
    public function ProjectClassFunction()
    {
        // You can now use your autoloaded classes from the module
        $service = new MyService();
        $service->doSomething();
    }
}

```
