Directories and files

the project root directory where the plug and play structure will live.
The plug-and-play.json and plug-and-play.lock files will contain the real project dependencies and plug and play
dependencies.
Your project directory will look like this:
Ignore plugged packages
Sometimes you may need to ignore a package that is under development, for that adds in packages/composer.json
something like this and run composer plug-and-play.
Require dev dependencies from plugged packages
When developing some package or library you may need to require its dev dependencies, for that adds in
packages/composer.json something like this and run composer plug-and-play that the require-dev dependencies will
be installed.
Autoload (strategy)
You may have some problems with symlinks and recursion when developing packages inside another application or package,
for that, you can use experimental:autoload strategy.
This strategy will create a simple copy of your composer.json in packages/vendor directory to do a symlink from your
original vendor directory.
To activate it, you should change your packages/composer.json.
You must add to autoload-dev the packages that you want to map its autoload and add to require-dev the packages
that you want to require its dev dependencies.
