Remove Vendor Plugin
====================

[](#remove-vendor-plugin)

A Composer plugin to remove specific folders inside the `vendor` directory after installation or updating.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

1. Add the plugin to your project's `composer.json`:

    ```
    {
      "require": {
        "asapo/remove-vendor-plugin": "*"
      },
      "config": {
        "allow-plugins": {
          "asapo/remove-vendor-plugin": true
        }
      }
    }
    ```
2. Run Composer install or update:

    ```
    composer install
    ```

    or

    ```
    composer update
    ```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

To configure the folders to be removed, add the `remove-folders` option under the `extra` key in your `composer.json`:

```
{
    "extra": {
        "remove-folders": [
            "modelflow-ai/*/vendor"
        ]
    }
}
```

You can specify multiple patterns if needed.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

This plugin hooks into Composer's `post-install-cmd` and `post-update-cmd` events. After running `composer install`or `composer update`, it will automatically remove the specified folders.

Development
