Courier Composer Plugin.
========================

[](#courier-composer-plugin)

This composer installer will install any package-type, to any path you wish.

It can be any of composers built-in package-types, or you can invent your own package-types, as you see fit.

In order for this plugin to work, it must be required in the package that specifies the custom install paths.

Like so...

```
{
  ...
  "require": {
    "akimsko/courier": "~1.0"
  }
}
```

From here, you can override install paths for all package-types required by this package, by defining them in the extra section.

The extra-option is `courier-paths`, and must contain one or more entries of `: `.

To insert the package name in the path use `{name}` (The package name after the '/').

To insert the vendor name in the path use `{vendor}` (The package name before the '/').

Like so...

```
{
  ...
  "extra": {
    "courier-paths": {
      "my-custom-module-type": "modules/{vendor}-{name}",
      "my-custom-theme-type": "theme/{name}"
      "library": "lib/{vendor}/{name}"
    }
  }
}
```

This will install all packages of type `my-custom-module-type` to `/modules/-`.

All packages of type `my-custom-theme-type` to `/themes/`.

And finally all packages of type `library` to `/lib//`.

If a package-type does not match anything in courier-paths extra section, it will be installed to the default vendor path as normal.
