Composer Check Current Working Directory Plugin
===============================================

[](#composer-check-current-working-directory-plugin)

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

[](#installation)

```
composer global require jcab/composer-check-cwd-plugin

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Just use Composer as usual.

This plugin will only throw you a warning if no `composer.json` was found. By default, Composer does not search for an existing `composer.json` in the folder structure and try to proceed where you asked it to. This can be frustrating sometimes, this plugin may help.
