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

[](#installation)

- Available as [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/) package [peertopark/composer-bower-bridge](https://packagist.org/packages/peertopark/composer-bower-bridge).

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- The `npm` executable must be available in PATH.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

To utilize the *Composer NPM bridge*, simply add `eloquent/composer-npm-bridge`to the `require` section of the project's Composer configuration:

```
composer require eloquent/composer-npm-bridge:^3

```

NPM dependencies are specified via a [package.json](https://npmjs.org/doc/json.html) configuration file in the root directory of the Composer package. Source control should be configured to ignore NPM's `node_modules` directory, similar to Composer's `vendor` directory.

How does it work?
-----------------

[](#how-does-it-work)

The *Composer NPM bridge* is a Composer plugin that automatically installs and updates [NPM](https://npmjs.org/) packages whenever the corresponding Composer command is executed. To detect compatible packages, the bridge inspects Composer package configuration information to find packages that directly require the `eloquent/composer-npm-bridge` Composer package itself.

In addition to normal operation, `composer install` will [install](https://npmjs.org/doc/install.html) NPM dependencies for all Composer packages using the bridge. This includes the root package, as well as Composer dependencies. Similarly, `composer update` will [install](https://npmjs.org/doc/install.html) NPM dependencies for all Composer dependencies using the bridge. It will also [update](https://npmjs.org/doc/update.html) and [shrinkwrap](https://npmjs.org/doc/shrinkwrap.html) the NPM dependencies for the root project.

NPM dependencies will be installed exactly as if `npm install` were run from the root directory of the package. This applies even if the package is installed as a dependency.

Caveats
-------

[](#caveats)

Because NPM dependencies are installed underneath the root directory of the Composer package, Composer may complain about working copy changes when the package is installed as a dependency. Source control should be configured to ignore the `node_modules` directory in order to avoid this.
