What is it?

This is a library for fast work with magento products. At typical project with Magento 1.9.x, speed was increased in 10 times.

Right now this library under heavy development, so keep in mind it ;)

Not recommended to use it at production.

Can be used without magento codebase.

You can work with products without magento codebase itself, database with magento tables is enough.

Doesn't work with magento events.

Fastmag doesn't dispatch events.

For what?

Import/export products, manage big scope of products and so on.

Requirements:

• Magento 1.8 or higher.
• Magento Composer Autoload

If your magento have Magento Composer Autoload installed already then you can install Fastmag via composer and it will work fine. Otherwise you can install Magento Composer Autoload via composer first or install Fastmag via modman.

Modman will check have you required Autoload or not and will install it.

Installation

Via composer:

Add to require block at your composer.json file following line:

"codedropcc/fastmag": "dev-master"

So it will at least looks like

{
    "require": {
        "codedropcc/fastmag": "dev-master"
    }
}

Below composer.json example with magento composer autoload:

{
    "require": {
        "codedropcc/fastmag": "dev-master",
        "magento-hackathon/magento-composer-installer": "*",
        "romantomchak/magento-composer-autoload": "*"
    },
    "extra": {
        "magento-root-dir": ".",
        "with-bootstrap-patch": false
    }
}

After that just run composer install or composer update That's all, Fastmag is installed and ready to work.

Via Modman:

• Install modman.
• Initialize modman folder via modman init.
• Run modman clone https://github.com/codedropcc/fastmag.git command.
• After that you have installed Fastmag in your system.

Sometimes OPcache or APC should be cleaned after installation.
