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.

Composer Override Reqs Plugin
English version
Русская версия
Для чего этот плагин?
Иногда при работе с Composer возникает проблема: некоторые пакеты имеют слишком жёсткие ограничения по версиям зависимостей.
Например, пакет dama/doctrine-test-bundle:6.7.5 требует:
Это означает, что пакет можно установить только вместе с Symfony 4.4, 5.3 или 6.0.
Однако на практике часто бывает так, что пакет вполне работает и с промежуточными версиями, например Symfony 5.0–5.2.
Как можно обойти ограничение?
Существуют стандартные варианты, но у них есть недостатки:
-
Использовать
asв require
Например:Минус: нужно указывать точные версии вручную.
- Форкнуть репозиторий
Внести правки и подключить его через repositories.
Минус: придётся поддерживать собственный форк.
Если по каким-то причинам эти методы вам (как и мне), не подошли, то можно попробовать данный плагин. Минус у данного плагина в том, что он использует Reflection, поэтому не гарантируется работа при выходе новых версий composer.
Установка и настройка
Установите плагин:
Добавьте в composer.json секцию extra.requirements-override.override:
После этого запустите:
Теперь dama/doctrine-test-bundle установится и на Symfony 5.0, так как зависимости были переопределены.

What is this plugin for?
Sometimes Composer packages come with overly strict dependency constraints.
For example, dama/doctrine-test-bundle:6.7.5 requires:
This means the bundle can only be installed with Symfony 4.4, 5.3, or 6.0.
But in reality, it would also work just fine with Symfony 5.0–5.2.
How can we bypass this?
Typical workarounds exist, but each has drawbacks:
-
Use
asin require
Example:Drawback: you must specify exact versions manually.
- Fork the repository
Modify the dependency constraints and include it via repositories.
Drawback: you need to maintain your own fork.
If, for some reason, these methods (just like for me) didn’t work for you, you can try this plugin instead.
The downside of this plugin is that it relies on Reflection, so compatibility with future Composer releases is not guaranteed.
Installation & Usage
Install the plugin:
Then add the extra.requirements-override.override section in your composer.json:
Finally, run:
Now dama/doctrine-test-bundle will install even with Symfony 5.0, since the dependency constraints were overridden.
