`compy` is a wrapper to `composer` for Symfony2 projects, based on an easier to use YAML file.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

You can use `compy` just like `composer`, except you modify the `compy.yml`, instead of the `composer.json`:

```
alice@acme$ bin/compy --version
Compy version 0.1.6
Composer version aa1c093

```

You should only run `compy` from the directory your `compy.yml` or `composer.json` are.

### Your `compy.yml`

[](#your-compyyml)

The YAML format is easier to read, easier to write and allows you to add comments, like in the following snippet:

```
license: MIT
require:
    symfony/yaml:      '>=2.0'     # This is a comment
    symfony/console:   '>=2.0'
    composer/composer:  dev-master
```

This is especially useful in large projects with complex dependencies.

(Automatic) Configuration
-------------------------

[](#automatic-configuration)

When run the first time, `compy` converts automatically any composer.json present. If you modify your `composer.json`, `compy` will automatically notice it when you invoke it, and convert it to `compy.yml`. `compy` backs up your `compy.yml` to `compy.yml~compy~`, before any change is made.

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

[](#installation)

System-wide installation is not supported at the moment.

You can install `compy` in your project by copying files by hand, or through `composer`:

### installing via composer

[](#installing-via-composer)

1. require the package `rev22/compy` via `composer`

    ```
     composer require rev22/compy:dev-master

    ```
2. now you can use compy from the 'vendor/bin/' directory:

    ```
     user> vendor/bin/compy --version

    ```

### copying files by hand:

[](#copying-files-by-hand)

1. copy the contents of the `bin/` directory from this code archive to your symfony project's `bin/` or `app/` directory;
2. add a dependency to `composer/composer` in your `composer.json`and run `composer install`
3. make sure the composer tool is installed system-wide

License
-------

[](#license)

`compy` is available under the terms of a MIT-style license. Please consult the file LICENSE for details.

History of the tool
-------------------

[](#history-of-the-tool)

The `compy` script was brought to you by Michele Bini. The package includes Oleg Stepura's `convert-config` tool, which was forked from Igor Wiedler's `composer-yaml`.
