Download the PHP package rinvex/composer without Composer

Rinvex Composer

Rinvex Composer is an intuitive package that utilizes Composer Plugin API to support additional actions during installation, such as installing packages outside of the default vendor library and running custom scripts during install, update, and uninstall processes.

⚠️ This package is renamed and now maintained at rinvex/laravel-composer, author suggests using the new package instead. Old package supportes up to Laravel v5.6, and the new one supports Laravel v5.7+

Rinvex Composer also handles any module specific install/uninstall logic, so if your custom cortext-module contains for example migrations and/or seeds, it will be automatically executed upon composer installation.

Installation

1. Install the package via composer:

2. Optionally you can publish config files by running the following commands:

3. Done!

Usage

As it should be clear, the main purpose of this package is to modify composer's behaviour so packages of custom types could be installed in directories other than the default vendor.

Supported Package Types

• cortex-module
• cortex-custom

Note: Checkout Composer's Custom Installers

Basic Usage

All Rinvex Cortex modules are installed into the following paths accordingly:

• cortex-module - app
• cortex-custom - custom/path

So if you're building a new Rinvex Cortex module, you have to add the appropriate composer package type in your package's composer.json, such as "type": "cortex-module" for modules.

Note: Checkout Rinvex Module Package documentation for further details.

Custom Paths

This is a powerful feature available for more flexibility and control over package installation paths. To use custom paths, your package's composer.json file must have the following attributes:

Then you've to run composer install or composer update at your application root directory, and Rinvex Composer Installer will detect the custom package type and look for extra.path. If it finds it; the package will be installed to that custom directory.

Overriding Custom Paths

It's nice to give packages the ability to set their own installation paths, but on some hosts where there's some restrictions it may be a problem; In such case you may have to take control and enforce these packages to be installed within certain directory.

You can override package-level paths at the application-level through extra.paths attribute in your application composer.json file:

Accordingly, this application-level path override will take precedence over any package-level custom paths.
