Infection - Extensions Installer
================================

[](#infection---extensions-installer)

Composer plugin for automatic registering of [Infection extensions](https://packagist.org/explore/?type=infection-extension).

How to install extension
------------------------

[](#how-to-install-extension)

Extension installer is bundled together with Infection core. All you need to register a custom extension is just to install a composer package.

Extension will be registered *automatically*.

Infection Extension Installer listens `post-install-cmd` and `post-update-cmd` events and as soon as it finds an Infection extension, it automatically registers it in Infection.

```
composer require --dev infection/codeception-adapter

infection/extension-installer: Extensions installed
> infection/codeception-adapter: installed
```

How to write an extension for Infection
---------------------------------------

[](#how-to-write-an-extension-for-infection)

Infection extension is a composer-based package. Basically it is a composer package which conforms to the following requirements:

- its type field is set to `infection-extension`
- it has `extra.infection.class` subkey in its `composer.json` that references a class that will be invoked in the Infection runtime.

Example:

```
{
    "name": "infection/codeception-adapter",
    "type": "infection-extension",
    "extra": {
        "infection": {
            "class": "Infection\\TestFramework\\Codeception\\CodeceptionAdapterFactory"
        }
    }
}
```

### Supported extensions types

[](#supported-extensions-types)

Currently, Infection supports only Test Framework extensions ([example](https://github.com/infection/codeception-adapter)).

### Available extensions

[](#available-extensions)
