Installation instructions for Google API Client and Facebook Graph SDK

Integrating Google and Facebook services into your WordPress projects can greatly enhance the functionality of your site. In this article, we’ll show you how to install the Google API Client and Facebook Graph SDK using Composer , an indispensable tool for managing dependencies in your projects.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have Composer installed on your machine. If you haven't already, here's how to do it:

1. Download and install Composer : Go to https://getcomposer.org/ and follow the instructions to install Composer.
2. Navigate to your plugin directory : If you are developing a WordPress plugin and want to add Google and Facebook services to it, you will first need to navigate to your plugin directory in your terminal. For example:

 cd wp-content/plugins/psw-login-and-registration

3. Install the Google API Client and Facebook Graph SDK Libraries : Once in your plugin directory, run the following command to add the necessary dependencies via Composer:

 composer require google/apiclient:^2.17 facebook/graph-sdk:^5.1

This command will download the appropriate versions of the Google API Client and Facebook Graph SDK, and add them to your project.

4. Automatic inclusion of libraries : After installation, you need to make sure that the libraries are loaded correctly in your plugin. To do this, add the autoloader file generated by Composer to your main plugin file. For example, in the psw-login-and-registration.php file:

 if (file_exists(plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ) . 'vendor/autoload.php')) { require_once plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ) . 'vendor/autoload.php'; }

This autoload.php file is located in the vendor directory and makes sure that all classes from installed libraries are automatically loaded.
