codebymikey/composer-vendor-patch
=================================

[](#codebymikeycomposer-vendor-patch)

*Composer vendor patch* is a [composer](https://getcomposer.org/) plugin that allows users to easily generate patches based on local changes to a vendor package.

The idea is to use the generated patches in tandem with the [composer-patches](https://github.com/cweagans/composer-patches) plugin.

How to Use
----------

[](#how-to-use)

Simply run `composer generate-vendor-patches ` and the patches for said package should be generated.

### Configuration

[](#configuration)

The default plugin configurations are as follows:

```
{
  // composer.json
  "extra": {
    "composer-vendor-patch": {
      "patch-dir": "patches",
      "patch-format": "{vendor}__{name}.diff"
    }
  }
}
```

Where `patch-dir` and `patch-format` supports the following placeholders:

- `{vendor}` - The package vendor namespace.
- `{name}` - The package name.
- `{version}` - The package version.
- `{type}` - The type of the package.
- `{sourceReference}` - The source reference (may be empty).
- `{distReference}` - The dist reference (may be empty).
- `{distSha1Checksum}` - The dist sha1 reference (may be empty).

However, these configurations may be overridden for specific packages if necessary:

```
{
  // composer.json
  "extra": {
    "composer-vendor-patch": {
      "patch-dir": {
        "vendor/package-1": "patches",
        "vendor/package-2": "second-patches-dir/${vendor}",
      },
      "patch-format": {
        "vendor/package-1": "{vendor}__{name}.diff"
      }
    }
  }
}
```
