Adds a command 'composer' to Terminus 1.x, 2.x or 3.x which you can use just like 'drush' or 'wp'. This project is a simplified version of the original [Terminus Composer Plugin](https://github.com/rvtraveller/terminus-composer) by Brian Thompson. Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) This plugin should only be used with sites that are managed by Composer. The recommended upstreams are: - [WordPress](https://github.com/pantheon-upstreams/wordpress-project) - [Drupal 9](https://github.com/pantheon-upstreams/drupal-project) This plugin may also be used with "Build Tools" and "No CI Workflow" sites that were started with one of the following template projects: - WordPress: [Advanced WordPress on Pantheon](https://github.com/ataylorme/Advanced-WordPress-on-Pantheon) - Drupal 8: [Example Drops-8 Composer](https://github.com/pantheon-systems/example-drops-8-composer) - Drupal 7: [Example Drops-7 Composer](https://github.com/pantheon-systems/example-drops-7-composer) Using Composer to manage standard sites on Pantheon not started with these upstreams (or a similar variant thereof) is not recommended. Using with Drupal 8.8 on the [drops-8](https://github.com/pantheon-systems/drops-8) will produce a working site, but will make future dashboard updates difficult. Using with sites based on the [Standard non-Composer Pantheon WordPress upstream](https://github.com/pantheon-systems/wordpress), or Drupal versions prior to 8.8 is likely to break the site. Examples -------- [](#examples) - `terminus composer my-script` - `terminus composer my-site.dev -- config repositories.drupal composer https://packages.drupal.org/8` - `terminus composer my-site.dev -- require drupal/media` - `terminus composer my-site.dev -- update` Installation ------------ [](#installation) ### Installing via Terminus 3 [](#installing-via-terminus-3) `terminus self:plugin:install pantheon-systems/terminus-composer-plugin` On older versions of Terminus: ``` mkdir -p ~/.terminus/plugins composer create-project --no-dev -d ~/.terminus/plugins pantheon-systems/terminus-composer-plugin:~1 ``` Help ---- [](#help) Run `terminus help composer` for help. ### Health Score 55 — FairBetter than 97% of packages Maintenance68 Regular maintenance activity Popularity42 Moderate usage in the ecosystem Community24 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity72 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.
