Example ------- [](#example) For example, given the below module composer.json: (note there is no need to explicitly add `silverstripe/vendor-plugin` as a dependency when `silverstripe/framework` is included) ``` { "name": "tractorcow/anothermodule", "description": "a test module", "type": "silverstripe-vendormodule", "extra": { "expose": [ "client" ] }, "require": { "silverstripe/framework": "^4.0" } } ``` This will be installed into the `vendor/tractorcow/anothermodule` folder, and a symlink will be created in `resources/tractorcow/anothermodule/client`, allowing the web server to serve resources from the vendor folder without exposing any code or other internal server files. Note: The module type `silverstripe-vendormodule` is mandatory, as this behaviour is not enabled for libraries of other types. Customising behaviour --------------------- [](#customising-behaviour) By default the plugin will attempt to perform a symlink, failing back to a full filesystem copy. If necessary, you can force the behaviour to one of the below using the `SS_VENDOR_METHOD` environment variable (set in your system environment prior to install): - `none` - Disables all symlink / copy - `copy` - Performs a copy only - `symlink` - Performs a symlink only - `junction` - Uses a junction (windows only) - `auto` -> Perfrm symlink (or junction on windows), but fail over to copy. Updating all exposed folders ---------------------------- [](#updating-all-exposed-folders) A custom composer command can be run at any time to update / refresh all `composer vendor-expose []` You can pass in one of the above methods to force a specific behaviour, otherwise the default will be chosen based on either a previously used method, or the `SS_VENDOR_METHOD` environment argument. ### Health Score 55 — FairBetter than 98% of packages Maintenance32 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity49 Moderate usage in the ecosystem Community49 Growing community involvement Maturity83 Battle-tested with a long release history Bus Factor2 2 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
