How I could include external lib in my custom opencart extension?

Question

I'm building a custom opencart payment extension (ocmod installable), I need to use an external payment provider sdk (located in the vendor folder) but i don't know how include this files on my packaged extension

This is my folder structure

..
├── install.xml
└── upload
    ├── admin
    ├── catalog
    ├── composer.json 
    ├── image
    └── vendor

Opencarts startup.php will automatically load files located in `vendor` (along side your `uploads` directory rather than being inside it. HOWEVER - you'd need to require your customers to install composer. Is there a reason you can't take the code from the SDK and integrate it directly in your controllers/models? — Lucas Krupinski, May 08 '17 at 11:38
