Composer installer for Elefant CMS apps
=======================================

[](#composer-installer-for-elefant-cms-apps)

This custom [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/) installer will install apps into an Elefant CMS site's `apps/` folder through Composer. It will trigger when a Composer package uses the `elefant-app` custom package type.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

In order for an app to install using this installer, it needs a `composer.json`file with the following:

```
{
	"name": "elefant/app-$NAME$",
	"type": "elefant-app",
	"license": "MIT",
	"repositories": [
		{"type": "git", "url": "http://github.com/jbroadway/elefant_installer"}
	],
	"require": {
		"elefant/app-installer": "*"
	}
}
```

The type element will instruct Composer to use this custom installer.
