Installation ------------ [](#installation) To install CasperJS and PhantomJS as a local, per-project dependency to your project, simply add a dependency on `jerome-breton/casperjs-installer` to your project's `composer.json` file. ``` { "require": { "jerome-breton/casperjs-installer": "dev-master" }, "scripts": { "post-install-cmd": [ "CasperJsInstaller\\Installer::install" ], "post-update-cmd": [ "CasperJsInstaller\\Installer::install" ] } } ``` For a development dependency, change `require` to `require-dev`. The version number of the package specifies the CasperJS version! But for now, no versions of PhantomJS are prebuilt for 1.0.\* versions, so for now, only dev-master is working, and will fetch the last 1.9.\* PhantomJS version. The download source used is: You can set the Composer configuration directive `bin-dir` to change the [vendor binaries](https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/vendor-binaries.md#can-vendor-binaries-be-installed-somewhere-other-than-vendor-bin-)installation folder. **Important! Composer will install the binaries into `vendor\bin` by default.** The `scripts` section is necessary, because currently Composer does not pass events to the handler scripts of dependencies. If you leave it away, you might execute the installer manually. Now, assuming that the scripts section is set up as required, CasperJS and PhantomJS binary will be installed into the bin folder and updated alongside the project's Composer dependencies. How does this work internally? ------------------------------ [](#how-does-this-work-internally) 1. **Fetching the CasperJS Installer**In your composer.json you require the package "casperjs-installer". The package is fetched by composer and stored into `./vendor/jerome-breton/casperjs-installer`. It contains only one file the `CasperJsInstaller\\Installer`. 2. **Fetching PhantomJS**This installer depends on [jakoch/phantomjs-installer](https://github.com/jakoch/phantomjs-installer) to install PhantomJS and follows the same strategy. This project has been created with major part of Jakoch work. The CasperJsInstaller will call Jakoch's `PhantomJSInstaller\\Installer`. 3. **Platform-specific download of PhantomJS**The `PhantomInstaller\\Installer` is run as a "post-install-cmd". That's why you need the "scripts" section in your "composer.json". The installer creates a new composer in-memory package "casperjs" and downloads the correct Phantom version to the folder `./vendor/jerome-breton/casperjs`. All CasperJS files reside there, especially the `samples`. 4. **Installation into bin folder**A launcher is created to declare PhantomJS path and launch CasperJS from `./vendor/jerome-breton/casperjs` to your composer configured `bin-dir` folder. ### Health Score 31 — LowBetter than 68% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity30 Limited adoption so far Community13 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity49 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 84.6% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
