FAQ
Example:
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 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-installers-discovery
Composer Installers Dependency Search
An extension for composer/installers which allows project dependencies to define installer types, and the install locations for those types.
Composer Installers Support
This project doesn't depend on the Composer Installers project, and it will not be included as a dependency of this project. This project can be used completely independently and it will support any custom installer path defined in a package required by the project.
How to Use
To use this project, require it as part of your composer project or library.
Once this project is required, then any module installs will respect the
installer configuration of the other dependencies. Any project defining the
installer-paths key it the extra section of its composer.json will be
included in the package.
To add this to you project, simply defined this section in your project.
Limitations
There are some limitations to this module use case. Package discovery iterates
over each packages dependencies in the order they are defined in the requires
block of the package. This means that if multiple projects define path mapping
for the same package type, only the path for the first project will be used.
Additionally, if a package defines its own mappings, they will override the mappings of projects which are required by them. However, if the same package is required twice, and the high priority package isn't otherwise overridden, it will be used instead of the dependent package.
As a result of these two limitations, the order of packages can directly effect the mapping of the installer paths. If this is an issue, please file an issue on github, so I can find a good solution for your use case.
Overriding paths of dependencies
A root project is the highest authority on installer paths. This means that any installer paths defined in the root package, will be used instead of those defined by the dependencies. This allows a user to opt out of a dependency's installer paths, or replace them.
