Composer Extra Files Plugin
===========================

[](#composer-extra-files-plugin)

Composer Extra Files Plugin is brought to you by your friends at [Last Call Media](https://www.lastcallmedia.com), this composer plugin allows you to request additional files to be downloaded with your composer package.

### When should I use this?

[](#when-should-i-use-this)

The most common use case is if you have compiled front-end code, where the compiled version is never committed to a git repository, and therefore isn't registered on packagist.org. For example, if you want your distributed package to depend on an NPM/Bower package.

Note: You probably shouldn't use this if you have the ability to [add repositories](https://getcomposer.org/doc/05-repositories.md) to your project's root composer.json. There are better alternatives for this. See [Composer Asset Plugin](https://github.com/fxpio/composer-asset-plugin) and [Asset Packagist](https://asset-packagist.org/). This plugin is most useful for packages that are required by other packages, since Composer doesn't allow nested repositories.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

In your package's composer.json, require this plugin, and specify the extra files in the "extra" section:

```
{
  ...
  "require": {
    "lastcall/composer-extra-files": "~1.0"
  }
  "extra": {
    "extra-files": {
      "ui": {
        "url": "https://registry.npmjs.org/lastcall-mannequin-ui/-/lastcall-mannequin-ui-1.0.0-rc2.tgz",
        "path": "ui"
      }
    }
  }
  ...
}
```

The `ui` identifier here is an arbitrary ID for each dependency.

The `url` key specifies the URL to fetch the content from. If it points to a tarball or zip file, it will be unpacked on downloading.

The `path` key specifies the folder (relative to where your package is installed in /vendor) that the content is installed into.
