This is not a permanent repo and you should follow that issue because some day it will go away. Composer Installers Extender ============================ [](#composer-installers-extender) The `composer-installers-extender` is a plugin for [Composer](https://getcomposer.org) that allows any package to be installed to a directory other than the default `vendor`directory within a project on a package-by-package basis. This plugin extends the [`composer/installers`](https://github.com/composer/installers) plugin to allow any arbitrary package type to be handled by their custom installer. The [`composer/installers`](https://github.com/composer/installers) plugin has a finite set of supported package types and we recognize the need for any arbitrary package type to be installed to a specific directory other than `vendor`. This plugin allows additional package types to be handled by the [`composer/installers`](https://github.com/composer/installers) plugin, benefiting from their explicit install path mapping and token replacement of package properties. How to Install -------------- [](#how-to-install) Add `oomphinc/composer-installers-extender` as a dependency of your project: ``` $ composer require oomphinc/composer-installers-extender ``` This plugin requires at least PHP 7.1. If you're using a lower version of PHP use the latest stable 1.x release: ``` $ composer require oomphinc/composer-installers-extender:^1.1 ``` How to Use ---------- [](#how-to-use) The [`composer/installers`](https://github.com/composer/installers) plugin is a dependency of this plugin and will be automatically required as well if not already required. To support additional package types, add an array of these types in the `extra` property in your `composer.json`: with [`composer/installers`](https://github.com/composer/installers) < v1.0.13: ``` { "extra": { "installer-types": ["library"] } } ``` with [`composer/installers`](https://github.com/composer/installers) >= v1.0.13: ``` { "extra": { "installer-types": ["drupal-library"] } } ``` Then refer to that type when adding to `installer-paths`: with [`composer/installers`](https://github.com/composer/installers) < v1.0.13: ``` { "extra": { "installer-types": ["library"], "installer-paths": { "special/package/": ["my/package"], "path/to/libraries/{$name}/": ["type:library"] } } } ``` with [`composer/installers`](https://github.com/composer/installers) >= v1.0.13: ``` { "extra": { "installer-types": ["drupal-library"], "installer-paths": { "special/package/": ["my/package"], "path/to/libraries/{$name}/": ["type:drupal-library"] } } } ``` By default, packages that do not specify a `type` will be considered the type `library`. Adding support for this type allows any of these packages to be placed in a different install path. If a type has been added to `installer-types`, the plugin will attempt to find an explicit installer path in the mapping. If there is no match either by name or by type, the default installer path for all packages will be used instead. **Please see the README for [`composer/installers`](https://github.com/composer/installers) to see the supported syntax for package and type matching as well as the supported replacement tokens in the path (e.g. `{$name}`).** License ------- [](#license) [MIT License](LICENSE) ### Health Score 44 — FairBetter than 92% of packages Maintenance48 Moderate activity, may be stable Popularity33 Limited adoption so far Community16 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity66 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.
