Creating your first Composer/Packagist package
==============================================

[](#creating-your-first-composerpackagist-package)

Hi everybody! Today I'll write about how you can contribute with PHP community creating packages (or updating your's) using [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/) and [Packagist](http://packagist.org/).

### Using Composer

[](#using-composer)

Composer is a package manager for PHP. You can use packages the community developed and you can contribute with your packages too. Here I'll show how to create a project/package, install Composer inside it and send to Packagist, where others developers can use it inside their projects.

### Creating the Package

[](#creating-the-package)

You can create a new project or update one to use Composer. I'll create a hello world class. It's a simple class but you can create complex projects and share them with the others developers. I'll use "hello-world" as project's name. Composer work in "vendor/package" name format. Here we can set as "vendor" name my name: "ehime" and as package name "hello-world", the name of the project.

### Files Structure

You can put all files inside the main dir, but I strongly recommend to create another dir, as "src" to be easier to understand and maintain your code organized. The project structure will start with the follow: \* hello-world (root dir) \* src \* HelloWorld \* SayHello.php Our SayHello.php file will have:
