This library provides a set of utility functions designed to help you parse your project's Composer configuration, and those of its dependencies, at runtime.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The API combines functional and object-oriented approaches.

### Locate the vendor directory

[](#locate-the-vendor-directory)

(Chicken and egg...)

```
$absoluteVendorPath = Composed\VENDOR_DIR;
```

### Locate the project's base directory

[](#locate-the-projects-base-directory)

```
$absoluteProjectPath = Composed\BASE_DIR;
```

### Get the authors of a specific package

[](#get-the-authors-of-a-specific-package)

You can fetch data from the `composer.json` file of a specific package.

```
$authors = Composed\package_config('phpunit/phpunit', 'authors');

assert($authors === [
    [
        'name' => "Sebastian Bergmann",
        'email' => "sebastian@phpunit.de",
        'role' => "lead",
    ],
]);
```

### Get licenses of all installed packages

[](#get-licenses-of-all-installed-packages)

You can fetch data from all `composer.json` files in your project in one go.

```
$licenses = Composed\package_configs('license');

assert($licenses === [
  'joshdifabio/composed' => "MIT",
  'doctrine/instantiator' => "MIT",
  'phpunit/php-code-coverage' => "BSD-3-Clause",
]);
```

### Get the absolute path to a file in a package

[](#get-the-absolute-path-to-a-file-in-a-package)

```
$path = Composed\package('phpunit/phpunit')->getPath('composer.json');
```

### Get all packages installed on your project

[](#get-all-packages-installed-on-your-project)

```
foreach (Composed\packages() as $packageName => $package) {
    $pathToPackageConfig = $package->getPath('composer.json');
    // ...
}
```

### Get data from your project's Composer config

[](#get-data-from-your-projects-composer-config)

You can also fetch data from the `composer.json` file located in your project root.

```
$projectAuthors = Composed\project_config('authors');

assert($projectAuthors === [
    [
        'name' => 'Josh Di Fabio',
        'email' => 'joshdifabio@somewhere.com',
    ],
]);
```

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

[](#installation)

Install Composed using [composer](https://getcomposer.org/).

```
composer require joshdifabio/composed

```

Credits
-------

Credit goes to @igorw whose [get-in](https://github.com/igorw/get-in) library is partially copied into this library. Unfortunately, `igorw/get-in` requires PHP 5.4 while Composed aims for PHP 5.3 compatibility.
