Supported Types:
----------------

[](#supported-types)

magento-module
magento-core
magento-theme (currently just the same as magento-module)

Core Installer
--------------

[](#core-installer)

### Installation

[](#installation)

to Install the Magento Core require magento/core in your composer.json.
Magento will be copied to the Magento root dir (Default: 'magento')

```
{
    "require": {
        "bragento/magento-composer-installer": "~1",
        "magento/core": "~1.9"
    },
    "extra": {
        "magento-root-dir": "magento"
    }
}
```

### Persistent Files

[](#persistent-files)

There are several persistent files and directories, that will be backed up and restored after core deployment:

var
media
app/etc/local.xml

You can also define additional Files to be persistent such as local Modules

```
{
    "require": {
        "bragento/magento-composer-installer": "~1",
        "magento/core": "~1.9"
    },
    "extra": {
        "magento-root-dir": "magento",
        "persistent-files": [
            "somefile",
            "app/code/local/Vendor/SomeModule",
            "app/etc/modules/Vendor_SomeModule.xml"
        ]
    }
}
```

Module Installer
----------------

[](#module-installer)

### Install a Module

[](#install-a-module)

Just require the Modules in your composer.json.

Many composer installable Magento extensions are listed under [packages.firegento.com](http://packages.firegento.com)
There is also an example of how to add a composer package directly from a github (or any git) Repository

```
{
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "composer",
            "url": "packages.firegento.com"
        },
        {
            "type": "git",
            "url": "https://github.com/danslo/ApiImport.git"
        }
    ],
    "require": {
        "bragento/magento-composer-installer": "~1",
        "magento/core": "~1.9",
        "firegento/magesetup": "~2",
        "danslo/api-import": "~1"
    },
    "extra": {
        "magento-root-dir": "magento"
    }
}
```

### Change Deploy Strategy

[](#change-deploy-strategy)

By default, all Modules are deployed by symlink. You can change this behaviour with the config key 'magento-deploystrategy'

Possible values are:
symlink
copy
none (will just install the Module but not deploy it to magento root)

```
{
    "extra": {
        "magento-deploystrategy": "copy"
    }
}
```

### Overwrite Deploy Strategy per Module

[](#overwrite-deploy-strategy-per-module)

You can also overwrite the Deploy Strategy for specific Modules under the config key magento-deploystrategy-overwrite

```
{
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "composer",
            "url": "packages.firegento.com"
        }
    ],
    "require": {
        "bragento/magento-composer-installer": "~1",
        "magento/core": "~1.9",
        "firegento/magesetup": "~2"
    },
    "extra": {
        "magento-deploystrategy": "symlink",
        "magento-deploystrategy-overwrite": {
            "firegento/magesetup": "copy"
        }
    }
}
```

### Auto Append Gitignore

[](#auto-append-gitignore)

You can define that deployed files will be automatically added to .gitignore in magento root

```
{
    "extra": {
        "auto-append-gitignore": true
    }
}
```
