Usage

Defining a package

Executing composer install will now fetch the joomlatools/composer plugin and use it to install the package into your Joomla installation.

For more information on creating these custom packages for projects which do not support Composer, see the Composer docs.

If you want to move the main Joomla installer manifest to the repository root before running the installation, provide the following information in your composer.jsonfile:

If the package is for a Joomlatools Framework reusable component, provide the following information in your composer.jsonfile:

You can now publish your extension on Packagist or serve it yourself using your own Satis repository.
