Working With Third-Party Libraries

Trongate doesn’t need Composer. It doesn’t need Packagist. It doesn’t need any third-party code to work flawlessly.

But you’re not trapped in 1999 either. Use anything you want - Composer packages, npm libraries, random GitHub repos, whatever. Trongate won’t stop you. It just won’t depend on them.

Why Trongate Stays Independent

• Runs forever - even if GitHub, Packagist, or the entire internet disappears tomorrow.
• No surprise updates breaking your app at 3 AM.
• No abandoned dependencies turning into security holes.
• You own your codebase. 100%.

When to Reach for a Package

• You need battle-tested code
• You require third-party SDKs (for example, Stripe/AWS etc)
• You’re building something complex that already has a mature library

Otherwise? Write it yourself. That's the Native PHP way!
