Composer plugin, package and tasks manager by group
===================================================

[](#composer-plugin-package-and-tasks-manager-by-group)

Grouper is a composer plug-in that allows you to place the packages in a group, to install or uninstall the packages of a group with a single command.

Grouper scripts are called tasks they can copy files, directories or shrink css and js files.

The advantage of grouper with other CSS and JavaScript supports, there is no need to run any additional script. resource files are automatically updated and minified after `composer update`
