Installation and configuration ------------------------------ [](#installation-and-configuration) Install the module via composer, therefore adapt the `require` part of your `composer.json`: ``` "require": { "anexia/composer-tools": "~1.4" } ``` Now run ``` composer update [-o] ``` to add the packages source code to your `/vendor` directory. Usage ----- [](#usage) The package adds the ComposerPackagistTrait to your application. It can be added to a class (e.g. a controller) as any trait and then its methods can be accessed directly. The trait provides the two methods - getLatestFrameworkVersion($package) returns the latest registered packagist version of a given package - getComposerPackageData() returns an array of all installed composer packages (found via composer.json) including their currently installed version and their latest registered packagist version A VersionMonitoringController for a Laravel application might look like this example: ``` // inside VersionMonitoringController.php use Anexia\ComposerTools\Traits\ComposerPackagistTrait class VersionMonitoringController { use ComposerPackagistTrait; public function index() { $runtime = [ 'platform' => 'php', 'platform_version' => phpversion(), 'framework' => 'laravel', 'framework_installed_version' => $this->getCurrentFrameworkVersion(), 'framework_newest_version' => $this->getLatestPackageVersion('laravel/framework') ]; $modules = $this->getComposerPackageData(); $response = response()->json([ 'runtime' => $runtime, 'modules' => $modules ]); } /** * Get version number of the currently installed framework package * * @return string */ public function getCurrentFrameworkVersion() { // do something to return the currently used framework version, // depending on the framwork used within the application } } ``` A possible response of the example controller action might look like this: ``` 200 OK { "runtime":{ "platform":"php", "platform_version":"7.0.19", "framework":"laravel", "framework_installed_version":"5.4.28", "framework_newest_version":"5.4.28" }, "modules":[ { "name":"package-1", "installed_version":"3.1.10", "installed_version_licences":[ "BSD-2-Clause" ], "newest_version":"3.3.2", "newest_version_licences":[ "BSD-3-Clause" ] }, { "name":"package-2", "installed_version":"1.4", "installed_version_licences":[ "MIT" ], "newest_version":"1.4", "newest_version_licences":[ "MIT" ] }, ... ] } ``` ### Health Score 35 — LowBetter than 80% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity22 Limited adoption so far Community15 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity69 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 80% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio. Uses a 2-year decay window. **Popularity (30%)** — Total and monthly downloads, GitHub stars, and forks. Logarithmic scaling prevents top-heavy scores. **Community (15%)** — Contributors, dependents, forks, watchers, and maintainers. Measures real ecosystem engagement. **Maturity (30%)** — Project age, version count, PHP version support, and release stability. ### Release Activity Cadence Every ~346 days Recently: every ~450 days Total 8 Last Release 759d ago ### Community Maintainers ![](https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/171775adc602fef3c3a502e9ef7b19e2319eeb08f99b80273867adb8a2da557f?d=identicon)[anx-astocker](/maintainers/anx-astocker) ![](https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/b02cc0241963505f656734f30c43a056450df9ab4858a7f985db13dffa95509c?d=identicon)[anx-abruckner](/maintainers/anx-abruckner) --- Top Contributors [![anx-abruckner](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/29941471?v=4)](https://github.com/anx-abruckner "anx-abruckner (8 commits)")[![beachmachine](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1974385?v=4)](https://github.com/beachmachine "beachmachine (1 commits)")[![nezhar](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/4420927?v=4)](https://github.com/nezhar "nezhar (1 commits)") --- Tags hacktoberfest ### Embed Badge ![Health badge](/badges/anexia-composer-tools/health.svg) ``` [![Health](https://phpackages.com/badges/anexia-composer-tools/health.svg)](https://phpackages.com/packages/anexia-composer-tools) ``` ### Alternatives [composer/composer Composer helps you declare, manage and install dependencies of PHP projects.
