Composer Manifest
=================

[](#composer-manifest)

A Composer plugin which maintains a simple YAML file listing all installed packages with their version numbers.

Why?
----

[](#why)

When Composer performs an install or an update, the output tells you what has been changed. But once that output is gone, it's hard to reconstitute it, as a diff of the changes to the composer.lock file is hard to read.

This plugin writes a YAML file listing each package on one line, so a diff or log can show you exactly what has been changed.

### Example:

[](#example)

```
packages:
    example/beta-version: 1.0.0-beta2
    example/path-repository: dev-develop
    example/specific-commit: 'dev-main:394dd58814320e136b5b24e900ba3e0a428b73a8'
    example/stable-version: 2.8.12
    joachim-n/composer-manifest: 1.1.7
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Install the plugin.

```
composer require joachim-n/composer-manifest

```

Whenever packages are installed, updated, or removed, the plugin will update the composer-manifest.yaml file in your project root. You should commit this to version control at the same time as you commit changes to composer.json and composer.lock to keep a history of changes.

### Integrations

[](#integrations)

With [Renovate](https://github.com/renovatebot/renovate), use the fileFilters config option to ensure the manifest file is committed by the renovate bot.
