Informations about the package installer
Nooku Composer Installer
This Composer plugin will deal with Nooku related packages. The following package types are supported:
- joomla-extension
- nooku-component
- nooku-framework
Joomla Extension
If you set the type of your Composer package to joomla-extension, this plugin will attempt to install it into your Joomla installation as a regular extension.
To make your extension installable through Composer, add a composer.json file with at least the following configuration values:
Note: the nooku/nooku-framework framework requirement will also install this installer plugin. If you did not build your package on top of the Nooku Framework, you can simply require this plugin instead: "nooku/installer": "1.*".
Repository layout
To have Composer succesfully install your extension into Joomla, you need to make sure your repository layout resembles an installable Joomla package. This means that if you were to create an archive of your repository contents, that archive can be installed using the Joomla Extension Manager.
This means that you need to add a valid XML manifest to the root directory and make sure it points to the correct paths. For a working example, you can always refer to our todo example component!
Publishing
You can now publish your component on Packagist or add your own repository to your Joomla's composer.json file. Your component can then be installed using the composer install command.
Nooku Component
Use the nooku-component type to install your reusable Nooku components into your Joomla setup or Nooku Platform application. The Composer installer will take your code and place it inside the /vendor directory. For Joomla versions 3.4 and up, it will install into the /libraries/vendor folder.
Your package's composer.json file should contain at least the following directives:
Place this composer.json file in the root folder of your component's repository.
The following settings are required to make your component installable through Composer:
- The
typedirective must be set tonooku-component. - You must make sure to require the
nooku/installerpackage so that Composer knows how to handle your package. - Every Nooku Component should include a
koowa-component.xmlmanifest file. You can get an example from our activities component. - You must include the
autoloaddirective. You do not, however, need to include theautoload.phpfile yourself. The plugin will autogenerate it for you if it's not found in the repository.
You can now publish your component on Packagist or add your own repository to your Joomla's composer.json file. Your component can then be installed using the composer install command.
Nooku Framework
This type is only meant for use by the Nooku Framework. This type will have Composer plugin install the framework into your Joomla setup and enable it.
To install the framework, create a composer.json manifest in your Joomla installation's root folder and add the following:
Now execute composer install to install the framework.
