Composer Dependent Patches
==========================

[](#composer-dependent-patches)

A Composer plugin that extends [cweagans/composer-patches](https://github.com/cweagans/composer-patches) version 2 to support version-constrained patches. This plugin allows you to define patches that are only applied when specific version constraints are met, providing fine-grained control over when patches are applied based on package versions.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- **Version-constrained patches**: Apply patches only when package versions match specific constraints
- **Automatic version detection**: Patches are resolved and applied based on installed package versions
- **Lock file management**: Maintains a `dependent-patches.lock.json` file for reproducible builds
- **Separate patch management**: Works alongside regular patches without conflicts
- **Custom commands**: Dedicated commands for managing dependent patches

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require openeuropa/composer-dependent-patches
```

Usage
-----

### Defining Dependent Patches

[](#defining-dependent-patches)

Version-constrained patches must be defined under the `extra.dependent-patches` key in your `composer.json`. Use the expanded format with version constraints in the `extra` section:

```
{
  "extra": {
    "dependent-patches": {
      "vendor/package": [
        {
          "description": "Fix for legacy versions",
          "url": "/path/to/legacy-fix.patch",
          "extra": {
            "version": "=2.0
