===============

[](#composer-reader)

Read composer.json files using a fluent api.

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

[](#installation)

`composer require silvanite/composer-reader`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Check if a package is installed. Defaults to look for `composer.json` in the current working directory.

```
$installed = Composer::read()->has('my/package');
```

If the file is in a different location, specify the filename.

```
$installed = Composer::read('./path/to/composer.json')->has('my/package');
```

The require section is checked by default, but you can define which section to check

```
$installed = Composer::read()->require()->has('my/package');
$installedDev = Composer::read()->requireDev()->has('my/package');
```

Check the required version of a package. Will return the full version string.

```
$version = Composer::read()->version('my/package');
```
