Having problems using third-party vendors in my module

[adid01nete33ad]

Hello there!

I created a module for Magento2 and now need to include some 3d-party vendors.

I've read multiple posts about achieving this. I have tried these, but I can't get it to work correctly.

Adding the autoload.php to the composer.json of the modul

"autoload": {
        "files": [
            "registration.php",
            "thrdParty/vendor/autoload.php"
        ]
    }

Or adding the autoload.php directly to the registration.php

require_once "thrdParty/vendor/autoload.php";

Both methods work in so far that I can use said vendors in my module. However, when I run the compile command, I get an error "Interface ... not found#0".

 php bin/magento setup:di:compile

I guess I could add the vendors to the Magento2 composer.json file, but that doesn't seem like a good practice.

I would be grateful for any help/insights!

Hello @adid01nete33ad 

Third-party libraries often require proper autoloading configurations. Magento 2 uses Composer for autoloading, and missing or incorrect configuration can lead to errors.

Composer Integration: Add the library to your composer.json file.

{
    "require": {
        "vendor/package-name": "^1.0"
    }
}

Custom Autoload: If the library isn't available via Composer, you can use autoload to include it manually.

"autoload": {
    "files": [
        "path/to/your/vendor/library.php"
    ]
}

Vendor Directory: Place the library in your module's lib directory and load it in your module's registration.php or helper file:

require_once BP . '/app/code/Vendor/Module/lib/library.php';

Hope it helps !
