Now you want selected files inside your package to be copied to a defined location on your local file system after each `post-install-cmd` and `post-update-cmd` event. With a bit of configuration this **composer plugin** can do this job for you. The configuration is made inside the [extra](https://getcomposer.org/doc/04-schema.md#extra) key of the `composer.json` file of your freshly programmed composer package. Installation ------------ [](#installation) `composer require markocupic/composer-file-copier-plugin` Build your composer package --------------------------- [](#build-your-composer-package) ``` / ├── app/ ├── public/ └── vendor/ └── code4nix/ └── super-package/ ├── .github/ ├── src/ ├── tests/ ├── data/ │ ├── foo.txt │ ├── style.css │ ├── config.yaml │ └── test1/ │ ├── foo1.txt │ ├── style1.css │ ├── config1.yaml │ └── test2/ │ ├── foo2.txt │ ├── style2.css │ └── config2.yaml └── composer.json # configuration goes here! ``` Big thanks to for sharing this fancy tree generator. ❤️ Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) The configuration is made inside the **extra key** of the **composer.json** file inside your **composer package**. > Note, that **source paths** are always relative to the installation directory of your package. > Note, that **target paths** are always relative to the project root. Inside the **composer.json** of your package: ``` { "name": "code4nix/super-package", "type": "symfony-bundle", "require": { "php": "^8.1", "markocupic/composer-file-copier-plugin": "^0.1" }, "autoload": { "psr-4": { "code4nix\\SuperPackage\\": "src/" } }, "extra": { "composer-file-copier-plugin": [ { "source": "data/foo.txt", "target": "foo.txt" }, { "source": "data/foo.txt", "target": "foo.txt", "options": { "OVERRIDE": true } }, { "source": "data/test1", "target": "files/test1", "options": { "OVERRIDE": true, "DELETE": true } }, { "source": "data", "target": "files/data", "options": { "OVERRIDE": true }, "filter": { "NAME": [ "*.css", "*.yaml" ], "DEPTH": [ "> 1", "< 3" ] } } ] } } ``` Mandatory keysDescription`source`Add a path to a file or directory. The path you set is relative to the package root.`target`Add a path to a file or directory. If the source path points to a file, then the destination path should point to a file as well. The target path is always relative to the document root.### Options [](#options) OptionDescriptionAffects`OVERRIDE`Accepted values: boolean `true` or `false`. Overwrite existing newer files in target directory. Default to `false`.files & folders`DELETE`Accepted values: boolean `true` or `false`. Whether to delete files that are not in the source directory should be deleted. Default to `false`. This option is not available, when using filters.folders### Filters [](#filters) FilterDescription`NAME`Accepted values: array `"NAME": ["*.less","*.json"]`. See [Symfony Finder](https://symfony.com/doc/current/components/finder.html#file-name) component.`NOT_NAME`Accepted values: array `"NOT_NAME": ["*.php","*.js"]`. See [Symfony Finder](https://symfony.com/doc/current/components/finder.html#file-name) component.`DEPTH`Accepted values: array `"DEPTH": ["< 1","> 4"]` See [Symfony Finder](https://symfony.com/doc/current/components/finder.html#directory-depth) component.Additional configuration ------------------------ [](#additional-configuration) By default this package will not process the following package types: `library','metapackage','composer-plugin','project'`. This can be overridden in your composer.json by specifying which package to exclude: ``` { "extra": { "composer-file-copier-excluded": ["library", "metapackage", "composer-plugin"] } } ``` ⚠️ Last but not least! ---------------------- [](#warning-last-but-not-least) > Note, that this is a very **powerful but also dangerous tool** that can **OVERRIDE/DELETE files/folders** and **DESTROY/DAMAGE your installation** if wrongly applied. ### Health Score 42 — FairBetter than 90% of packages Maintenance65 Regular maintenance activity Popularity32 Limited adoption so far Community13 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity48 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
