Composer-recovery
-----------------

[](#composer-recovery)

Helper for recovery composer dependency list (if you lost composer.json) from composer.lock or vendor/composer/installed .json

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/bb4b7c6ddac25dafa3bd8115e78250e493c40c3950c814f02b75d6f06acf44d5/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f496e736f6c6974612f636f6d706f7365722d7265636f766572792e7376673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](https://travis-ci.org/Insolita/composer-recovery)

**NOTE**: It is not file-recovery tool, and it can`t recover composer.json data same as it was in original. It just extracts package list and concrete versions (and also hash for dev-master dependecies) from composer.lock, or, if it absent too, from vendor/composer/installed.json

If recover maked from installed.json - there are no way to separate default and dev dependencies

See [tests/stub/app1\_expected.json](tests/stub/app1_expected.json) as an example of result file

**NOTE2**: If your project under vcs control, you don't need this package. You can easy restore composer.json from previous commit or another branch

#### Installation:

[](#installation)

`composer global require insolita/composer_recovery`

Ensure that your ~/.composer/vendor/bin directory declared in $PATH

`echo $PATH`

if not - you should add it in ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile

#### Basic Usage:

[](#basic-usage)

`cd /var/www/myproject && composer-recovery`

##### Supported options:

[](#supported-options)

-p : path to project directory (by default - active directory where script was called)

-o : path to directory where recovered\_dependecies.json will be written (by default - same as project directory)

-f : custom file name - (by default - recovered\_dependecies.json)

##### Examples with options:

[](#examples-with-options)

`composer-recovery -p /var/www/myproject/ -o /some/place/for/result/ -f mycomposer.json`

`composer-recovery -p . -o ../output/`
