Due to issues braking builds I had to fork project and apply community fixes. I intend to stop adding fixes to this project as soon as original author will include community patches.

Thanks Philipp Baschke for developing this amazing library as it saved loads of developers hours of work.

A composer plugin that makes installing [ACF PRO](https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/pro/) with [composer](https://github.com/composer/composer) easier.

It reads your 🔑 ACF PRO key from the **environment** or a **.env file**.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

**1. Add the package repository to the [`repositories`](https://getcomposer.org/doc/04-schema.md#repositories) field in `composer.json`(based on this [gist](https://gist.github.com/fThues/705da4c6574a4441b488)):**

```
{
  "type": "package",
  "package": {
    "name": "advanced-custom-fields/advanced-custom-fields-pro",
    "version": "*.*.*(.*)",
    "type": "wordpress-plugin",
    "dist": {
      "type": "zip",
      "url": "https://connect.advancedcustomfields.com/index.php?p=pro&a=download"
    },
    "require": {
      "iff-studio/acf-pro-installer": "^1.0",
      "composer/installers": "^1.0"
    }
  }
}
```

Replace `"version": "*.*.*(.*)"` with your desired version.

Replace `"type": "wordpress-plugin"` with `"type": "library"` if you would like to have ACF PRO installed in the `./vendor` directory instead of `./wp-content/plugins`. This may be desireable if for example, you are including ACF PRO in a WordPress theme.

**2. Make your ACF PRO key available**

Set the environment variable **`ACF_PRO_KEY`** to your [ACF PRO key](https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/my-account/).

Alternatively you can add an entry to your **`.env`** file:

```
# .env (same directory as composer.json)
ACF_PRO_KEY=Your-Key-Here
```

**3. Require ACF PRO**

```
composer require advanced-custom-fields/advanced-custom-fields-pro:*
```

You can specify an [exact version](https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/versions.md) (that matches your desired version).

If you use **`*`**, composer will install the version from the package repository (see 1). This has the benefit that you only need to change the version in the package repository when you want to update.

*Be aware that `composer update` will only work if you change the `version` in the package repository. Decreasing the version only works if you require an [exact version](https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/versions.md).*
