The two InitPHP dependencies are installed automatically by Composer.

Install with Composer

composer require initphp/input

Then make sure the Composer autoloader is loaded once in your application's entry point:

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

Verify the install

<?php
declare(strict_types=1);
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

use InitPHP\Input\Inputs;

$input = new Inputs(get: ['ping' => 'pong']);

echo $input->get('ping'); // pong

If that prints pong, you are ready to go.

The two classes you will use

use InitPHP\Input\Inputs;               // the instance API
use InitPHP\Input\Facade\Inputs as Input; // the static facade

• Inputs — create it yourself (new Inputs()), optionally with explicit data. Best for dependency injection and tests.
• Facade\Inputs — a static proxy that lazily builds one Inputs from the superglobals. Best for quick reads in application code.

Both expose exactly the same methods. See The Facade for the difference and when to use which.
