Bug Report
I tried to run Reader::import($url) and there appears to be an issue locating a class from within that class.

Summary
Here is the stack trace. I swapped out the true paths, class names and the URL to protect our client's privacy.
Exception 'Error' with message 'Class 'Laminas\Http\Client' not found'
in /path/to/site/vendor/laminas/laminas-feed/src/Reader/Reader.php:143
Stack trace:
#0 /path/to/site/vendor/laminas/laminas-feed/src/Reader/Reader.php(200): Laminas\Feed\Reader\Reader::getHttpClient()
#1 /path/to/site/modules/clientname/services/Feed.php(64): Laminas\Feed\Reader\Reader::import('https://example.com...')
#2 /path/to/site/modules/clientname/controllers/console/FeedController.php(33): modules\clientname\services\Feed->importPressReleases()
...
Current behavior
See the stack trace.
How to reproduce
I placed the following at the top of my class:
use Laminas\Feed\Reader\Reader;
In a function, I am calling import like:
$feed = Reader::import($url);
That line with "import" is #1 in the stack trace.
Expected behavior
No exception? Feed is parsed and stored in the $feed variable.
Disregard. I found my answer after the basic usage code block in the docs. So I installed the laminas/laminas-http package and that works.
@benjaminkohl
If you want to import a feed via a URI, you need an HTTP client. Other options for an import are a string and a file therefore the HTTP client is only a soft dependency.
You must install an HTTP client yourself.
Please see also in documentation for this notice:
Importing requires an HTTP client
To import a feed, you will need to have an HTTP client available.
https://docs.laminas.dev/laminas-feed/reader/#importing-feeds
The "suggest" section in the Composer file also contains this note:
Line 48 in 0fb0825
But thanks anyway, because your request helps us to rethink the error message and provide better help.
Yes, thank you. I probably wouldn't have run into this if that block about the HTTP client appeared above the basic usage code in the documentation.
Good point! 👍
Currently I'm working on a description to include laminas-feed in laminas-mvc application. After this I planned a restructuring of the entire component documentation which included a smaller and clearer quick start.
