## Installation

Packagento is licence-gated, so even free packages need a licence on a project before Composer can resolve them.

1. **Sign in or create an account** at https://packagento.com/customer/account/.

2. **Add the package to your account.** Open https://packagento.com/mage2pro/core and complete the free checkout. A licence is minted automatically.

3. **Create or pick a project, then activate the licence on it.**
   - Projects represent the Magento installs you deploy to. Manage them at https://packagento.com/projects/.
   - Activate the new licence on the project you'll deploy this package to. Activation is what generates the Composer credentials scoped to that project.

4. **Add the project credentials to your Magento codebase.**

   Grab the project's public + private key from https://packagento.com/projects/ (open the project, then its Credentials tab), and add them to `auth.json`:

   ```json
   {
     "http-basic": {
       "packagento.com": {
         "username": "ppk_live_...",
         "password": "psk_live_..."
       }
     }
   }
   ```

   Add the Packagento Composer repository to `composer.json`:

   ```json
   {
     "repositories": [
       { "type": "composer", "url": "https://packagento.com" }
     ]
   }
   ```

5. **Install and apply.**

   ```bash
   composer require mage2pro/core:*
   bin/magento setup:upgrade
   bin/magento setup:di:compile
   bin/magento cache:flush
   ```

## What it does

Mage2.PRO core package.

## README

`mage2pro/core` is a unique middleware that bridges the gap between the out-of-box [Magento](https://github.com/magento/magento2) / [Adobe Commerce](https://business.adobe.com/products/magento/magento-commerce.html) software and the needs of real-world information systems.   
It is the main result of my everyday work with Magento / Adobe Commerce for 14.5 years, since 2010.
### Do I need it?
You will benefit from it if you operate an information system based on Magento / Adobe Commerce: 
- an online store 
- a backend information system for trading on marketplaces
- a B2B information system
- a corporate information system (e.g. ERP)
### What will it do for me?
It serves 2 main purposes: 
- It improves the quality of Magento / Adobe Commerce based information systems.
- It makes extending the functionality of Magento / Adobe Commerce based information systems easier. 
### How will it improve the quality of my information system?
`mage2pro/core` significantly enhances the self-diagnostic capabilities of Magento / Adobe Commerce.  
`mage2pro/core` catches every failure of Magento / Adobe Commerce, comprehensively explains them, and carefully stores the reports for further analysis by your programmers.  
The `mage2pro/core` reports are in no way comparable to the traditional Magento / Adobe Commerce `system.log` and `exception.log` files.  
By using `mage2pro/core`, you will significantly reduce the time and money spent on troubleshooting Magento / Adobe Commerce failures, making your system more efficient and cost-effective.  
`mage2pro/core` will inform you about important problems that the original Magento / Adobe Commerce sometimes ignores (e.g., your customers' problems when paying in your store: this is the most obvious case where you lose money).

### How will it make the extension of my system's functionality easier?
I have been programming Magento / Adobe Commerce every day since 2010.  
Every day, when I solve a new task I have not done before, I store my solution in the software library of `mage2pro/core`.  
The library contains all my experience with Magento / Adobe Commerce.  
My solutions have been rigorously tested in numerous information systems based on Magento / Adobe Commerce.  
By leveraging the `mage2pro/core` library, your programmers can access solutions that are usually superior to what they can develop themselves (and even more so find on StackOverflow).

## Quality

Latest release (11.5.8) fails the Packagento QA pipeline. Verdicts below are per-cell (Magento line × PHP version) for the matrixed tools, and run-once for the static / security tiers.


### Compatibility

Each Magento line is installed on its supported PHP versions, then the module is built (DI compile + static-content deploy). Cells show passed / failed / untested; staircase gaps render as `–`.

| Magento | PHP 8.2 | PHP 8.3 | PHP 8.4 | PHP 8.5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.4.7 | Pass | Pass | – | – |
| 2.4.8 | – | Pass | 1 | – |
| 2.4.9 | – | – | 1 | 1 |


### Code Quality

Advisory checks against the module's source. Never affect the Compatibility verdict — a phpcs finding can't make a module incompatible.

#### Static Analysis

Coding standards (phpcs), mess detection (phpmd), copy-pasted code (cpd), PHP cross-version compatibility, composer.json validity. Each runs once for the whole module.

| Tool | Status | Findings | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|
| PHPCS | Fail | 56175 | 726 errors, 55449 warnings (ruleset: Magento2) — 52320 auto-fixable with phpcbf |
| PHPMD | Warning | 280 | 280 rule violations (IfStatementAssignment:115, UnusedFormalParameter:84, CyclomaticComplexity:12, ErrorControlOperator:11, UnusedPrivateMethod:9) |
| Cpd | Pass | 0 |  |
| Composer validate | Info | 7 | valid; 7 advisory notes (composer validate --strict) |

#### PHPStan

Type-checks the module against a real Magento install. Re-runs per Magento + PHP version because resolvable symbols differ between releases.

| Magento | PHP 8.2 | PHP 8.3 | PHP 8.4 | PHP 8.5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.4.7 | 1125 | 1125 | – | – |
| 2.4.8 | – | 1124 | 1159 | – |
| 2.4.9 | – | – | 1160 | 1160 |


### Tests

Unit and integration suites run per Magento + PHP cell. Test failures speak to the module's behaviour, not its compatibility with a line, so they're reported here separately.

#### Unit Tests

| Magento | PHP 8.2 | PHP 8.3 | PHP 8.4 | PHP 8.5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.4.7 | N/A | N/A | – | – |
| 2.4.8 | – | N/A | N/A | – |
| 2.4.9 | – | – | N/A | N/A |

#### Integration Tests

| Magento | PHP 8.2 | PHP 8.3 | PHP 8.4 | PHP 8.5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.4.7 | N/A | N/A | – | – |
| 2.4.8 | – | N/A | N/A | – |
| 2.4.9 | – | – | N/A | N/A |


### Security

Dependency-advisory audit (composer audit) plus a source malware scan. A malware detection fails the version outright.

| Tool | Status | Findings | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|
| Composer audit | Pass | 0 |  |
| Malware scan | Pass | 0 |  |

## Licence and pricing

Free. A licence is still minted on checkout and bound to your project for Composer access — no payment step.

Refundable within 14 days of first purchase via https://packagento.com/account/refunds/.

## Install via Claude Code or any MCP client

The Packagento MCP server can run the licence + project + Composer steps above in one tool call:

```
purchase_and_install_packages(
  composer_names=["mage2pro/core"],
  project_id="proj_xxx"
)
```

This handles cart, checkout, licence minting, project activation, and writes auth.json credentials. Connect a client with `claude mcp add packagento https://mcp.packagento.com`. Full setup at https://packagento.com/docs/mcp-setup.
