FAQ

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.

Informations about the package composer-drupal-lenient

Drupal Lenient Composer Plugin

Lenient with it, Drupal 11 with it.

Why?

The Drupal community introduced a lenient Composer facade that modified the drupal/core constraint for packages. This was done to remove a barrier with getting extensions installed via Composer to work on making modules Drupal 9 ready.

We hit the same problem, again. At DrupalCon Portland we sat down and decided a Composer plugin is the best approach.

See Add a composer plugin that supports 'composer require-lenient' to support major version transitions.

Drupal documentation page: Using Drupal's Lenient Composer Endpoint.

How

This subscribes to PluginEvents::PRE_POOL_CREATE and filters packages. This is inspired by symfony/flex, but it does not filter out packages. It rewrites the drupal/core constraint on any package with a type of drupal-*, excluding drupal-core. The constraint is set to '^8 || ^9 || ^10 || ^11' for drupal/core.

Try it

Set up a fresh Drupal 11 site with this plugin (remember to press y for the new allow-plugins prompt.)

The plugin only works against specified packages. To allow a package to have a lenient Drupal core version constraint, you must add it to extra.drupal-lenient.allowed-list. The following is an example to add Simplenews via the command line with composer config

Now, add a module that does not have a Drupal 11 compatible release!

🥳 Now you can use cweagans/composer-patches to patch the module for Drupal 11 compatibility!

For a quick start, allow installation by adding the latest version in the module *.info.yml file:

Support when composer.lock removed

This plugin must be installed globally if your project's composer.lock file is removed.

Warning: this means the plugin will run on all Composer commands. This is not recommended, but it is the only way the plugin can work when composer.lock is removed.
