After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Composer plugin for generate Drupal packages metadata into info files.

By default packages (e.g. modules, themes and profiles) downloaded from https://drupal.org/ will be injeted with metadata info its .info or .info.yml, so update.module will able to figure out if corresponding version installed are outdated or not. By the way, if you download packages with GIT directly, e.g. install -dev release by using Composer, such metadata info won't exists and so update.module will report with unknown version.

This way you can:

In case of Drupal 7.x, following metadata will be injected into .info file:

; Information add by drustack/composer-generate-metadata on 2017-02-18
project = "features"
core = "7.x"
version = "7.x-2.10+3-dev"
datestamp = "1487399547"

In case of Drupal 8.x, following metadata will be injected into .info.yml file:

# Information add by drustack/composer-generate-metadata on 2017-02-18
project: "features"
version: "8.x-3.2+1-dev"
datestamp: "1487399552"

Installation

Simply install the plugin with composer:

$ composer require drustack/composer-generate-metadata:~2.0

Configuration

Drupal projects are not listed on Packagist. Instead, Drupal.org provides its own directory of Drupal projects for Composer to use. Therefore you will need to add Drupal.org as a Composer Repository to your Drupal site's composer.json file.

Drupal.org provides two separate composer repository endpoints: one for Drupal 7 and one for Drupal 8.

To add the repository from the command line you should execute the following command from your repository root:

$ composer config repositories.drupal composer https://packages.drupal.org/7

Composer will then automatically update your Drupal site's composer.json file with a repositories object of the format:

{
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "composer",
            "url": "https://packages.drupal.org/7"
        }
    ]
}

Example

An example composer.json:

{
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "composer",
            "url": "https://packages.drupal.org/7"
        }
    ],
    "require": {
        "drupal/drupal": "~7.54",
        "drupal/features": "2.x-dev",
        "drustack/composer-generate-metadata": "~2.0"
    }
}
