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.

Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Informations about the package composer-directories

Composer Directories

A Composer plugin that automatically creates directories and symlinks defined in your composer.json during install and update commands. Directories are always created before symlinks.

Installation

Usage

Add configuration to the extra section of your composer.json:

Both features work independently -- you can use directories, symlinks, or both.

Directories

String entries use the default permission 0775 (drwxrwxr-x), matching the Drupal default.
Object entries accept a path and an optional permissions string in octal format.
All paths are relative to the project root (where composer.json is located).

Symlinks

Keys are targets, values are link paths. Both are relative to the project root.
If a symlink already exists and points to the correct target, it is left as-is. If it points elsewhere, it is replaced.
If a non-symlink file/directory exists at the link path, it is skipped with a warning.
On Windows, directory junctions are used instead of symlinks (no admin rights needed).

Verbose output

Run composer install -v to see skipped directories and symlinks that already exist:

Security

Paths that resolve outside the project root (e.g., ../../../etc) are rejected with a warning. This applies to both directories and symlinks (target and link).
