Usage ----- [](#usage) In the component's `composer.json`, specify: - `type`, type of Magento 2 component. - `extra/map`, list of files to move and their paths relative to the Magento root directory. - `extra/chmod`, list of permissions that should be set for files. **Note**: - `extra/map` is required only if your component needs to be moved to a location other than `/vendor`. Otherwise, omit this section. - `extra/chmod` is required only if you need to set specific permissions for files. Supported Components -------------------- [](#supported-components) The following list explains the use of `type` in `composer.json`. ### Magento Module [](#magento-module) `"type": "magento2-module"` Installation location: Default vendor directory or as defined in `extra/map` Example: ``` { "name": "magento/module-core", "description": "N/A", "require": { ... }, "type": "magento2-module", "extra": { "map": [ [ "*", "Magento/Core" ] ] } } ``` Final location is `/app/code/Magento/Core` ### Magento Theme [](#magento-theme) `"type": "magento2-theme"` Installation location: `app/design` Example: ``` { "name": "magento/theme-frontend-luma", "description": "N/A", "require": { ... }, "type": "magento2-theme", "extra": { "map": [ [ "*", "frontend/Magento/luma" ] ] } } ``` Final location is `/app/design/frontend/Magento/luma` ### Magento Language Package [](#magento-language-package) `"type": "magento2-language"` Installation location: `app/i18n` Example: ``` { "name": "magento/language-de_de", "description": "German (Germany) language", "require": { ... }, "type": "magento2-language", "extra": { "map": [ [ "*", "Magento/de_DE" ] ] } } ``` Final location is `/app/i18n/Magento/de_DE` ### Magento Library [](#magento-library) `"type": "magento2-library"` Support for libraries located in `lib/internal` instead of in the `vendor` directory. Example: ``` { "name": "magento/framework", "description": "N/A", "require": { ... }, "type": "magento2-library", "extra": { "map": [ [ "*", "Magento/Framework" ] ] } } ``` Final location is `/lib/internal/Magento/Framework` ### Magento Component [](#magento-component) `"type": "magento2-component"` Installation location: Magento root directory Example: ``` { "name": "magento/migration-tool", "description": "N/A", "require": { ... }, "type": "magento2-component", "extra": { "map": [ [ "*", "dev/tools/Magento/Tools/Migration" ] ] } } ``` Final location is `/dev/tools/Magento/Tools/Migration` Autoload -------- [](#autoload) After handling all Magento components, `/app/etc/vendor_path.php` specifies the path to your `vendor` directory. This information allows the Magento application to utilize the Composer autoloader for any libraries installed in the `vendor` directory. The path to `vendor` varies between particular installations and depends on the `magento_root` setting for the Magento Composer installer. That's why it should be generated for each installation. You must run `composer install` to install dependencies for a new application or `composer update` to update dependencies for an existing application. Deployment Strategy ------------------- [](#deployment-strategy) The Magneto Composer Installer uses the `copy` deployment strategy. It copies each file or directory from the `vendor` directory to its designated location based on the `extra/map` section in the component's `composer.json`. There are [other deployment strategies](https://github.com/magento/magento-composer-installer/blob/master/doc/Deploy.md) that could be used; however, we don't guarantee that any of them will work. Usage `extra/chmod` ------------------- [](#usage-extrachmod) The following example shows how you can set specific permissions for files. Example: ``` { "name": "magento/module-sample", "description": "N/A", "require": { ... }, "type": "magento2-module", "extra": { "chmod": [ { "mask": "0755", "path": "bin/magento" }, { "mask": "0644", "path": "some_dir/file.jpg" } ] } } ``` `mask` is a bit mask for chmod command `path` is a path to file relative to the Magento root folder Notes ===== [](#notes) - The extra->magento-root-dir option is no longer supported. It displays only to preseve backward compatibility. ### Health Score 51 — FairBetter than 96% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity64 Solid adoption and visibility Community52 Growing community involvement Maturity63 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor2 2 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
