Hi everyone :)

I have just started using ProcessWire, and I really do think it is a great CMF. The only thing, though, is that is is not [yet] put together with Composer.

I have a site, and I would like to process contact forms with a ProcessWire module, using the Validation compnent. In addition, I would need to make use of the Mail component to send the emails.

As I understand it, the best way to go about this is via Composer. This is where I get stuck, as I can't seem to find a decent user guide that explains how to use the Illuminate components outside of Laravel. (There are a few, but not for Validation or Mail).

Just to give you an idea, ProcessWire has two folders in the document root: wire (the system) and site (all site-specific segments).

Inside the site folder exists a modules folder, which contains all the available site Modules that ProcessWire can make use of (like extensions or plugins).

I have created a module called ProcessContactForm, and I need to import the above-mentioned Illuminate components so that the module can use them.

How could I go about doing this? Could I use composer within my module directory (/site/modules/ProcessContactForm/vendor) or should everything be in the root (/vendor)? Once loaded, I know I need to require vendor/autoload.php, but past that, I have no idea how to instantiate everything.

Thanks in advance :)
