Silverstripe Vendor Plugin
When installing Silverstripe modules in the vendor directory it may also be necessary to ensure certain module assets are exposed to the webroot, as the 'vendor' url prefix is blocked from web-access by default.
Example
For example, given the below module composer.json:
This will be installed into the vendor/tractorcow/anothermodule
folder, and a
symlink will be created in resources/tractorcow/anothermodule/client
, allowing
the web server to serve resources from the vendor folder without exposing any
code or other internal server files.
Note: The module type silverstripe-vendormodule
is mandatory, as this behaviour
is not enabled for libraries of other types.
Customising behaviour
By default the plugin will attempt to perform a symlink, failing back to a full filesystem copy.
If necessary, you can force the behaviour to one of the below using the
SS_VENDOR_METHOD
environment variable (set in your system environment prior to install):
none
- Disables all symlink / copycopy
- Performs a copy onlysymlink
- Performs a symlink onlyjunction
- Uses a junction (windows only)auto
-> Perfrm symlink (or junction on windows), but fail over to copy.
Updating all exposed folders
A custom composer command can be run at any time to update / refresh all
composer vendor-expose [<method>]
You can pass in one of the above methods to force a specific behaviour, otherwise
the default will be chosen based on either a previously used method,
or the SS_VENDOR_METHOD
environment argument.
