class not found with composer autoloader

I have this in my composer.json

        "preferred-install": "dist",
        "sort-packages": true,
        "optimize-autoloader": true
    }
}

The php files for my package are in a laravel installation: /vendor/redbutton/text-image-alpha/src/

When I try to call a file I get the message:

Class 'Class 'RedButton\TextImageAlpha\TextImageAlpha' not found' not found

I use this to try and call the class:

$image     = new \RedButton\TextImageAlpha\TextImageAlpha( 'some string' );

The file in /vendor/redbutton/text-image-alpha/src/TextImageAlpha.php looks like this:

<?php
namespace RedButton\TextImageAlpha;

use RedButton\TextImageAlpha\Exceptions;
use RedButton\Tools\Objects;


/**
 * TextImageAlpha class convert a text to image.
 *
 * @author Tomas Rathouz <trathouz at gmail.com>
 */
class TextImageAlpha
{
   // lots of code
}

This is my first composer package and I don't really have an idea of what is going wrong here. Could someone please explain to me what I'm doing wrong?

Good news. I've looked at your package at Bitbucket and you're doing it right in its composer.json:


Drop unnecessary code from composer.json

I've noticed in pasted composer.json there is manual adding of some vendor file. 

"files": [
    "vendor/redbutton/text-image-alpha/vendor/autoload.php"
],

/vendor nested in /vendor doesn't make sense as it might duplicate autoloading and break it.

Also I don't see redbutton/text-image-alpha in require section, where it should be.


How to add package the right way?

To install your package just call composer:

composer require redbutton/text-image-alpha

And that's it.

It should appear in require section in composer.json. Composer will autoload it by rules in composer.json of the package - here.

Test

I've tried following code and class is found correctly:

<?php 

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

$image = new \RedButton\TextImageAlpha\TextImageAlpha('some string');
var_dump($image);

Having composer.json:

{
    "require": {
        "redbutton/text-image-alpha": "^1.0"
    }
}
