FastFrame Composer Packages Plugin
==================================

[](#fastframe-composer-packages-plugin)

This plugin provides an easy method of determining the installation path, name, version, and extra attributes of a given Composer package, by name.

Use this to locate vendor package roots. Most of the times this is going to be used for template files, or other types of assets that you want to get from a package.

Running `composer install` or `composer update` will trigger the Packages.php to be generated, this contains a registry of the package installation paths as well as their types.

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

[](#installation)

`composer require fastframe/composer-packages`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
$container = new FastFrame\Composer\Packages\Container();
$container->has('fastframe/composer-packages'); // true
$container->has('non-existent/package'); // false

$pkg = $container->get('fastframe/composer-packages'); // Package object

// Package object
$pkg->name();         // fastframe/composer-packages
$pkg->type();         // composer-plugin
$pkg->version();      // 1.0.0.0
$pkg->path();         // {root_path}/vendor/fastframe/composer-packages
$pkg->extra();        // array('class' => 'FastFrame\\Composer\\Packages\\Plugin')
$pkg->composerJson(); // the json decoded composer.json contents from the package

// finding all packages of a specific type
$composer_plugins = $container->getByType('composer-plugins'); // array('fastframe-composer-packages')
```
