Composer local dependencies resolver
====================================

[](#composer-local-dependencies-resolver)

This plugin allows registration of your local directories and injects them into your projects as composer repositories. This allows installing your dependencies as symlinks in your local projects, making work over your projects and dependencies at the same time a lot easier.

You can also test your dependencies without the need to git push and composer update every time to see if the changes are working correctly in the real project.

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

[](#installation)

You can install a plugin as a global composer dependency.

**Remember to allow the plugin to be used!**

```
composer global require othersoftware/composer-resolver-plugin
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

This plugin provides extra composer commands to the CLI, which allows you to manage your local directories.

### Adding a new repository

[](#adding-a-new-repository)

Go to your dependency project directory in the terminal and run:

```
composer add-repository
```

Remember that the directory must contain a valid composer.json file.

### Resolving dependencies

[](#resolving-dependencies)

Once you have registered your local dependency projects with the plugin, you can simply run `composer update` within your project, and the plugin will automatically prepend your registered directories as a `path` repositories in your local environment.

As these repositories are prepended to the list, they have higher priority than repositories defined in your project's composer.json file, meaning you can leave a remote git repository entry in the file, for production use.
