There are two ways you can autoload the class file which is required using composer.

1. Add below line in index.php in the root directory.

   require FCPATH . 'vendor/autoload.php';
   

2. Or autoload directly in the controller where you want to use.
   

   defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');
   
   require FCPATH . 'vendor/autoload.php';
   
   class Home extends CI_Controller {...}
