Extra-Flex for Symfony
======================

[](#extra-flex-for-symfony)

`Extra-Flex` is a composer plugin for [Symfony Flex](https://github.com/symfony/flex).

`Extra-Flex` allows to keep recipe for composer package together in the same repository with a package itself.

`Extra-Flex` allows to install recipe on `require` command and uninstall on `remove` command. Also recipe could be applied on demand without requiring a package with additional `apply` command.

To enable `Extra-Flex` run `composer require covex-nn/extra-flex` after `composer create-project symfony/skeleton`

To include recipe into a package, add extra data to `composer.json`:

```
{
    "extra": {
        "recipe-dir": ".flex"
    }
}
```

Example
-------

[](#example)

Require `covex-nn/extra-flex-foobar` and apply recipe immediately:

```
composer create-project symfony/skeleton .
composer require covex-nn/extra-flex
composer require covex-nn/extra-flex-foobar
composer remove covex-nn/extra-flex-foobar

```

Apply recipe from `covex-nn/extra-flex-foobar` without require package:

```
composer create-project symfony/skeleton .
composer require covex-nn/extra-flex
composer apply covex-nn/extra-flex-foobar 1.0.2
cat composer.json

```

See [`composer.json`](https://github.com/covex-nn/extra-flex-foobar/blob/master/composer.json) from [`covex-nn/extra-flex-foobar`](https://github.com/covex-nn/extra-flex-foobar/blob/master/composer.json) for details.

Extending Flex
--------------

[](#extending-flex)

- `pre-flex-configurator-install`
- `post-flex-configurator-install`
- `pre-flex-configurator-unconfigure`
- `post-flex-configurator-unconfigure`
- `pre-flex-downloader-getRecipes`
- `post-flex-downloader-getRecipes`
