Unified Asset Installer
=======================

[](#unified-asset-installer)

phpDocumentor relies on specific directory locations for templates and plugins. By default [Composer](http://getcomposer.org) is unable to install in a directory other than `/vendor` except when using a [Custom Installer](http://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/custom-installers.md).

This Custom Installer for Composer will trigger on the following library types and provide custom behaviour for those.

- *phpdocumentor-template*, install files into `/data/template` instead of `/vendor`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

In order to tell a template to use this installer you need to add the following *composer.json*

```
{
    "name": "phpdocumentor/template-$NAME$",
    "type": "phpdocumentor-template",
    "license": "MIT"
    "require": {
        "phpdocumentor/unified-asset-installer":"*"
    }
}

```

The type element will instruct Composer to use this Custom Installer.

TODO
----

[](#todo)

- Add the *phpdocumentor-plugin* library type as well.

FAQ

[](#faq)

What's up with the name?
------------------------

[](#whats-up-with-the-name)

Due to a [bug in Composer](https://github.com/composer/composer/issues/655) at time of writing of this document, the name must be alphabetically LATER than the word *template*.
