- 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.

Informations about the package giveaways
Giveaways
Run provably-fair giveaways on your Flarum community. Members enter with one click, earn bonus entries for being active, and winners are drawn automatically — with a published seed and entrant fingerprint anyone can verify.
Features
- 🎁 Beautiful giveaways page — a dedicated
/giveawayspage with cards, live countdowns, status badges and entrant counts. - 🎟️ One-click entry — registered members enter instantly. The button shows their current entry count.
- ⭐ Earn-entries engine — grant a one-time bonus when entrants post in the community, rewarding real activity.
- 🗂️ Categories — organise giveaways into colour-coded categories with filter pills, badges and an inline manager.
- 🎯 Eligibility rules — optionally require a minimum post count or account age to enter.
- ⏱️ Scheduled auto-draw — set an end time and the winners are drawn automatically by the scheduler. Hosts can also draw now at any time.
- 🔔 Winner notifications — every winner gets an in-app alert linking straight to the giveaway.
- 📦 Prize claiming — winners get a "You won!" banner with a one-click Claim button; the host is notified and can see per-winner claim status, plus optional claim instructions (e.g. "DM me your address").
- 🛡️ Provably fair — every draw publishes a random seed and a SHA-256 hash of the full entrant list, so the result is independently reproducible and tamper-evident.
- 🏆 Multiple winners — draw any number of weighted winners in a single fair pass.
- 🔐 Granular permissions — separate enter, create own, and manage all permissions.

Installation
Then enable Giveaways in your admin panel and review the permissions grid.
Scheduled draws require Flarum's scheduler to be running. Add this to your server's crontab:
Without it, giveaways won't auto-draw at their end time — but you can still draw manually from each giveaway page.

How the fair draw works
When a giveaway is drawn:
- The full entrant list is serialized in a fixed order (
userId:entries, sorted by user id) and hashed with SHA-256 — this is the entrant hash. - A random seed is generated.
- For each winner slot i, the winner is chosen by
SHA-256(seed:i)reduced over the weighted entry pool, removing each winner before the next pick.
Because the seed and entrant hash are published on the giveaway page, anyone can re-run the algorithm and confirm the winners were not manipulated.
