Composer Node Bridge
====================

[](#composer-node-bridge)

Have you ever wanted to use `node` in your PHP project, but had no guarantee, it available in the `$PATH` of your environment? This composer plugin aims to solve that.

1. Install the plugin as a normal composer dependency in your project.
2. Allow the plugin to execute code in your project.
3. You will now have `vendor/bin/node` and `vendor/bin/npm`.

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require heptacom/composer-node-bridge
```

How Does It Work?
-----------------

[](#how-does-it-work)

This plugin uses the [`Node Version Manager`](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm) to install both Node and NPM into your `vendor` directory. It will not be added to your `$PATH` environment variable. NVM will not be available in your Shell. It only affects your PHP project.

The goal is to allow PHP code to rely on the availability of `node` without putting additional dependencies on your environment.

Limitations
-----------

[](#limitations)

Currently, only Node version 22 is supported.
