php phalcon use composer autoload.php not working

Question

I want to use a class that installs by composer, but I don't get an error that the class does not exist. use the file_exists to check if the file is being loaded but I always get false. apparently composer's autoload.php is not importing into phalcon's loader.php either.

i install this https://github.com/m1ome/phalcon-datatables this is the order of my folders, in the vendor folder is the autoload.php

app/
-- config/
-- controllers/
-- models/
-- view/
-- config/
public/
vendor/

Answer 1

You need to require() Composer's auto-loader - Phalcon won't do that for you. You could add the line in your bootstrap file, or even in the public/index.php file.
