Pimcore Composer Installer
==========================

[](#pimcore-composer-installer)

Installs a given version of Pimcore to your configured `document-root-path` via Composer. The main goal of this package is to make it easier to ramp developers up onto a Pimcore project, and make it easier to set up Pimcore projects. It achieves this by ensuring that you don't have to commit Pimcore to your project's repository, and automates the task of downloading, extracting, and placing the Pimcore files in your project.

Usage:
------

[](#usage)

Two config entries are required in your project's composer.json file:

- `document-root-path`: This is the Pimcore web-root, i.e. where index.php will be, and where files will be served from.
- `pimcore-version`: This is the exact Pimcore version that you want to use. This cannot be part of your project's required dependencies because the version downloaded by Composer would clash with the Pimcore autoloader.

You must then also specify the installer as `post-install-cmd` and `post-update-cmd` scripts.

For example:

```
{
    ...
    "config": {
        "document-root-path": "./web",
        "pimcore-version": "3.1.1"
    },
    "require": {
        "byng/pimcore-composer-installer": "^1.0"
    },
    "scripts": {
        "post-install-cmd": [
            "Byng\\Pimcore\\Composer\\Installer::install"
        ],
        "post-update-cmd": [
            "Byng\\Pimcore\\Composer\\Installer::install"
        ]
    },
    ...
}

```

The `Installer` class has methods for installing individual components, this makes it very easy to tailor the installation to your project's needs. If you are planning on using these methods, make sure you first always called the `download` method, all of the install methods will need it to have been called first by Composer.

Note: This plugin will overwrite some files without warning. If you have modified default Pimcore code then you will more than likely lose it. We recommend extending the Pimcore code to augment the behaviour (this also makes it easier to upgrade Pimcore in the future!)
