It reads your 🔑 ACF PRO key from the **environment** or a **.env file**. ⚠️ Deprecated. Supported till 1st of June 2023 ⚠️ ------------------------------------------------- [](#warning-deprecated-supported-till-1st-of-june-2023-warning) This plugin is deprecated, since [Advanced Custom Fields has released native composer support](https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/installing-acf-pro-with-composer/). We actively encourage users to switch to their solution. This composer plugin will be updated/maintained till 1st of June 2023. Afterwards we will mark this repository as archived, and shutdown the repositories mentioned below. Usage ----- [](#usage) > This plugin is compatible with Both Composer 2.x (latest) and 1.x **1. Add our [Advanced Custom Fields Composer Bridge](https://github.com/pivvenit/acf-composer-bridge) repository to the [`repositories`](https://getcomposer.org/doc/04-schema.md#repositories) field in `composer.json`** > This repository simply provides a periodically updated [packages.json](https://pivvenit.github.io/acf-composer-bridge/composer/v2/packages.json), that redirects composer to the ACF provided downloads. Note that this repository **does not** provide any Advanced Custom Fields Pro packages itself, it only tells Composer where it can find ACF Pro packages. Secondly it is important to note that **your license key is not submitted to the repository**, since the installer downloads the Advanced Custom Fields Pro zip files directly from ACF's servers. **Why this repository?** Since it enables you to use `advanced-custom-fields/advanced-custom-fields-pro` package with version constraints like any normal Packagist package. You no longer have to update the version manually as you had to with `philippbaschke/acf-pro-installer` (and tools like dependabot will also work for ACF). ``` { "type": "composer", "url": "https://pivvenit.github.io/acf-composer-bridge/composer/v3/wordpress-plugin/" } ``` This installs the package as `wordpress-plugin` type, in case you want a different type, use the following URL: wordpress-muplugin: > `https://pivvenit.github.io/acf-composer-bridge/composer/v3/wordpress-muplugin/` wpackagist-plugin: > `https://pivvenit.github.io/acf-composer-bridge/composer/v3/wpackagist-plugin/` library: > `https://pivvenit.github.io/acf-composer-bridge/composer/v3/library/` **2. Make your ACF PRO key available** There are 3 ways to make the ACF\_PRO\_KEY available: - Using the ACF\_PRO\_KEY environment variable - `.env` file - Setting `acf-pro-key` in `$COMPOSER_HOME/config.json` Select the one that best matches your setup: ***2.a Using the ACF\_PRO\_KEY Environment variable*** Set the environment variable **`ACF_PRO_KEY`** to your [ACF PRO key](https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/my-account/). ***2.b Use a .env file*** Alternatively you can add an entry to your **`.env`** file: ``` # .env (same directory as composer.json) ACF_PRO_KEY=Your-Key-Here ``` ***2.c. Setting the key in `$COMPOSER_HOME/config.json`*** You specify the `acf-pro-key` in the `config` section of your `$COMPOSER_HOME/config.json` ``` { "config": { "acf-pro-key": "Your-Key-Here" } } ``` > `$COMPOSER_HOME` is a hidden, global (per-user on the machine) directory that is shared between all projects. By default it points to `C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Composer` on Windows and `/Users/\/.composer` on macOS. On \*nix systems that follow the XDG Base Directory Specifications, it points to `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/composer`. On other \*nix systems, it points to `/home/\/.composer`. **3. Require ACF PRO** ``` composer require advanced-custom-fields/advanced-custom-fields-pro ``` ### Health Score 44 — FairBetter than 92% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity45 Moderate usage in the ecosystem Community17 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity78 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 51% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
