[Composer](https://getcomposer.org) plugin for auto-generating platform requirements in `composer.json`.

The plugin generates `config.platform` section in `composer.json` file basing on current PHP environment. This is especially useful when [Docker](https://www.docker.com) images are used. Once generated `config.platform` section in runtime image may correctly reused in toolchain images (such as [`composer` Docker image](https://hub.docker.com/_/composer)).

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
composer global require "instrumentisto/composer-platform-generator"

cd my-project/
composer update-platform-reqs
```

### in-Docker

[](#in-docker)

```
cd my-project/

# Vendor and install necessary dev dependencies.
docker run --rm -v "$(pwd)":/app -w /app \
  composer require --dev "composer/composer" \
                         "instrumentisto/composer-platform-generator"
docker run --rm -v "$(pwd)":/app -w /app \
  composer install --ignore-platform-reqs

# Generate config.platform section basing on you runtime image.
docker run --rm -v "$(pwd)":/app -w /app \
  my-project-image \
    vendor/bin/composer update-platform-reqs

# Now you can run the commands bellow without errors
# and with PHP environment considered exactly as you need.
docker run --rm -v "$(pwd)":/app -w /app \
  composer install
docker run --rm -v "$(pwd)":/app -w /app \
  composer update
```
