How can I use downloaded libraries with composer in pure PHP projects?

I usually use this library for my Laravel projects. I download it like this:

$ composer require morilog/jalali

And Add these lines to the config/app.php file of my Laravel projects:

'providers' => [

    Illuminate\Foundation\Providers\ArtisanServiceProvider::class,
    Illuminate\Auth\AuthServiceProvider::class,
    ...
    Morilog\Jalali\JalaliServiceProvider::class,

],


'alias' => [
    ...
    'jDate' => Morilog\Jalali\Facades\jDate::class
]

It works and all fine.

Now I need to use this library in a pure PHP project. It has its own MVC structure and doesn't have config/app.php. I downloaded the library like always (composer require morilog/jalali, and both composer.json file and vendor directory are created). Does anybody know how can I use it in my codes? Do I need to require() something? Or use something?

You can still use compoaser in this case. You can add this line in your, say index.php file:

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

And rest, you can use it the same way you're using it in Laravel right now.

Run 

composer require morilog/jalali

in your "pure PHP" project's root folder, and then 

include "vendor/autoload.php"

in your root file if you use one, or in the file that you are planning to use composer libraries.

Then call the class with the full namespace as :

$jDate = new Morilog\Jalali\Facades\jDate
