Since you can't extend Composer plugins, this exists to allow for extension. If you don't need to extend this for your own plugin needs, and you want the functionality provided by the plugin, check out [ramsey/devtools](https://github.com/ramsey/devtools) instead. This package also provides the `devtools` CLI tool, which you may use even if you do not want to use the plugin functionality. This project adheres to a [code of conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md). By participating in this project and its community, you are expected to uphold this code. Installation ------------ [](#installation) Install this package with [Composer](https://getcomposer.org). ``` composer require --dev ramsey/devtools-lib ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) If using this library as a standalone tool, and not as a Composer plugin, type `./vendor/bin/devtools list` to see the list of commands this library provides. ``` ./vendor/bin/devtools list ``` Note Install [ramsey/devtools](https://github.com/ramsey/devtools), instead, if you do not need to extend this library to create your own Composer plugin. ### Extending or Overriding ramsey/devtools-lib Commands [](#extending-or-overriding-ramseydevtools-lib-commands) Maybe the commands ramsey/devtools-lib provides don't do everything you need, or maybe you want to replace them entirely. The configuration allows you to do this! Using the `ramsey/devtools.commands` property in the `extra` section of `composer.json`, you may specify any command (*without* your custom prefix, if you've configured one) as having other scripts to run, in addition to the command's default behavior, or you may override the default behavior entirely. Tip If you don't want to use the property name "ramsey/devtools," you may use "devtools" instead. However, if there is a conflict with another package that uses the `extra.devtools` property, `extra.ramsey/devtools` takes precedence, so you may use it to avoid conflicts. Specifying additional scripts works exactly like [writing custom commands](https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/scripts.md#writing-custom-commands)in `composer.json`, but the location is different. Everything you can do with a custom Composer command, you can do here because they're the same thing. ``` { "extra": { "ramsey/devtools": { "command-prefix": "my-prefix", "commands": { "lint:all": { "script": "@mylint" }, "test:all": { "script": [ "@mylint", "@phpbench" ] } } } }, "scripts": { "mylint": "parallel-lint src tests", "phpbench": "phpbench run" } } ``` In this way, when you run `./vendor/bin/devtools lint:all` or `./vendor/bin/devtools test:all`, it will execute the default behavior first and then run your additional commands. To override the default behavior so that it doesn't run at all and only your scripts run, specify the `override` property and set it to `true`. ``` { "extra": { "ramsey/devtools": { "commands": { "lint:all": { "override": true, "script": "parallel-lint src tests" } } } } } ``` Contributing ------------ [](#contributing) Contributions are welcome!
