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.

Informations about the package installer-plugin

Composer installer plugin handling file replication

CI

A simple Composer plugin to install (meta)packages with extra files and configurations.

Usage

To get started, simply require this plugin in your project using:

Once that's done, you can require any Composer package with the eckinox-metapackage type.

Creating eckinox-metapackage packages

Eckinox metapackages are the same as all regular packages, with one exception: they can include a replicate directory at their root.

Whenever a package of that type is installed, every file and directory in the package's replicate directory will be replicated as-is in the project's directory.

If a directory in the replicate directory already exists in the project, its files will simply be appended to the existing directory. The original won't be deleted.
However, existing files in the project will be overwritten if they have the same name as another file in the package's replicate directory.

Adding custom logic via Handlers

If you need to add extra logic and processing during the replication process, you can create an handler class in your package.

Handler classes extend the Eckinox\Composer\HandlerInterface, and must be declared in the package's composer.json file as such:

Your handler class must define the following methods:

Here is a example of a very basic handler class that simply renames a rename-me.txt file to renamed.txt when it is first replicated in the main project.
