This is not another `composer-installer` library for supporting non-composer package types i.e. `application` .. etc. This is only to add the flexibility of installing composer packages outside the vendor folder. This package only supports `composer` package types, > The type of the package. It defaults to library. > > Package types are used for custom installation logic. If you have a package that needs some special logic, you can define a custom type. This could be a symfony-bundle, a wordpress-plugin or a typo3-module. These types will all be specific to certain projects, and they will need to provide an installer capable of installing packages of that type. How to use ---------- [](#how-to-use) - Include the composer plugin into your `composer.json` `require` section:: ``` "require":{ "php": ">=5.3", "mnsami/composer-custom-directory-installer": "1.1.*", "monolog/monolog": "*" } ``` - In the `extra` section define the custom directory you want to the package to be installed in:: ``` "extra":{ "installer-paths":{ "./monolog/": ["monolog/monolog"] } } ``` by adding the `installer-paths` part, you are telling composer to install the `monolog` package inside the `monolog` folder in your root directory. - As an added new feature, we have added more flexibility in defining your download directory same like the `composer/installers`, in other words you can use variables like `{$vendor}` and `{$name}` in your `installer-path` section:: ``` "extra": { "installer-paths": { "./customlibs/{$vendor}/db/{$name}": ["doctrine/orm"] } } ``` the above will manage to install the `doctrine/orm` package in the root folder of your project, under `customlibs`. Note ---- [](#note) Composer `type: project` is not supported in this installer, as packages with type `project` only make sense to be used with application shells like `symfony/framework-standard-edition`, to be required by another package. ### Health Score 34 — LowBetter than 77% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity25 Limited adoption so far Community10 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity65 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 85.7% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
