Composer for WordPress
======================

[](#composer-for-wordpress)

A plugin for Composer package manager making it working a bit better for WordPress plugins.

For now, the only purpose of the project is to fix the following error when there is a WordPress plugin built with an obsolete pre-PSR-4 Composer version:

```
Fatal error: Call to undefined method Composer\Autoload\ClassLoader::setPsr4()
in /wp-content/plugins//vendor/composer/autoload_real.php on line 33

```

The plugin patches Composer's autoload scripts every time they are changed due to `composer install`, `composer update`, or other Composer actions.

[More info and discussion](https://github.com/composer/composer/issues/3852)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Require the package in your project's `composer.json`:

```
{
    "require-dev": {
        "dangoodman/composer-for-wordpress": "^2.0"
    }
}
```

To set a custom class loader suffix add to your `composer.json`:

```
{
    "config": {
        "classloader-suffix": "MySuffix"
    }
}
```

If it's not set, a random suffix will be generated instead.
