[](#usage)

### 1. Define symlinks

[](#1-define-symlinks)

Create the symlinks definition adding a `somework/composer-symlinks` section inside the `extra` section of the composer.json file.

Set `skip-missing-target` to true if we should not throw exception if target path doesn't exists
Set `absolute-path` to true if you want to create realpath symlinks
Set `throw-exception` to false if you dont want to break creating on some error while check symlinks
Set `force-create` to force unlink link if something already exists on link path

You can set personal configs for any symlink.
For personal configs `link` must be defined

```
{
    "extra": {
        "somework/composer-symlinks": {
            "symlinks": {
                "common/upload": "web/upload",
