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-module-installer
SimpleSAMLphp Composer module installer
This package is a Composer plugin that allows a SimpleSAMLphp module to be installed through Composer. Installation can be as easy as executing:
That command would install vendor/simplesamlphp-module-mymodule matching
version 1.*.
Making a module installable through Composer
To make a module installable through Composer, you need to add a
composer.json-file to the root of the module. It should look
something like:
The package name must be on the form:
<vendor> is the vendor name you use, and <module name> is the name
of your module. Your module will be installed in the modules/<module name>
directory in the SimpleSAMLphp installation directory.
Assets modules
Asset modules are a special kidn of module that will install pre-built assets in
SimpleSAMLphp's public/ directory. These modules follow a slightly different
naming convention simplesamlphp-assets-<module name>
Installing your custom module
If you publish your module on Packagist, no special
configuration is required to install your module. However, if your module is
hosted in a private repository, you need to add a repository for the module to
your SimpleSAMLphp composer.json file. For example, if your module is located
in a Git repository in /home/username/mymodule, you would add something like
the following to repositories in composer.json:
The `repositories array may look something like:
Once you have added the repository, you should be able to install your module by executing:
(dev-master instructs Composer to install the master-branch from the Git
repository.)
See the Composer Repository documentation for more information about adding your own custom repositories to Composer.
Module names that contain uppercase letters
New modules should only have lowercase letters in the module name, however a
lot of existing module names contain uppercase letters. Since Composer package
names should only contain lowercase letters, a mixed-case variant of the module
name can be provided in the ssp-mixedcase-module-name extra data option:
Note that this is only meant for migration of existing modules. New modules should only use lowercase letters in the name.
