Composer Plugin Files Copier
============================

[](#composer-plugin-files-copier)

This is a very simple Composer plugin working on the `post-install-cmd` and `post-update-cmd` events for copying from a source path to a distination folder.

I created this to avoid copying manualy the bootstrap less files into a temporary folder and overriding the variables.less for generating a custom bootstrap.css file using the less filter from the [symfony/assetic-bundle](https://github.com/symfony/assetic-bundle).

Installation / Usage
--------------------

[](#installation--usage)

1. In your composer.json project's file add the requirements

    ```
    {
        "require": {
            "butopea/composer-plugin-filecopier": ">=1.1.0"
        }
    }
    ```
2. In your composer.json project's file add the config in the extra element

    ```
    {
        "extra": {
            "filescopier" : {
                "source" : "vendor/twbs/bootstrap/less",
                "destination" : "var/less/bootstrap",
                "debug": "true"
            }
        }
    }
    ```

    or

    ```
    {
        "extra": {
            "filescopier" : [
                {
                    "source" : "vendor/twbs/bootstrap/less",
                    "destination" : "var/less/bootstrap",
                    "debug": "true"
                }, {
                    "source" : "src/Butopea/ResBundle/Resources/less/bootstrap/*.less",
                    "destination" : "var/less/bootstrap"
                }, {
                    "source" : "/home/butopea/Documents/*.pdf",
                    "destination" : "var/test"
                }
            ]
        }
    }
    ```

    > **Note:** The destination element must be a folder. if the destination folder does not exists, it is recursively created using `mkdir($destination, 0755, true)`.

    > **Note:** If the destination folder is not an absolute path, the relative path is calculated using the vendorDir path (`$project_path = \realpath($this->composer->getConfig()->get('vendor-dir').'/../').'/'`;)

    > **Note:** The source element is evaluated using the php function `\glob($source, GLOB_MARK)` and a recursive copy is made for every result of this function into the destination folder
3. Run Composer: `php composer.phar update`.
