Use Windwalker as Library

If you just want to use Windwalker as a library, add windwalker/framework as your project's dependencies in composer.json.

{
    "require": {
        "windwalker/framework": "~3.0"
    }
}

~3.0 is equivalent to 3.0 to 3.9

You can also pick any child packages rather than the complete framework set. This is an example to install Session and Form package:

{
    "require": {
        "windwalker/session": "~3.0",
        "windwalker/form": "~3.0"
    }
}

See all available packages on Packagist
