SilverStripe Vendor Plugin Helper Utility
-----------------------------------------

[](#silverstripe-vendor-plugin-helper-utility)

When installing SilverStripe modules in the vendor directory it may also be necessary to ensure certain module assets are exposed to the webroot, as the 'vendor' url prefix is blocked from web-access by default.

### See also: Vendor plugin

[](#see-also-vendor-plugin)

This utility allows setup of these paths if the `vendor-plugin` is disabled through the use of `--no-plugins` in install.

See information on this plugin at the [vendor-plugin github page](https://github.com/silverstripe/vendor-plugin)

### Installation

[](#installation)

```
composer global require silverstripe/vendor-plugin-helper
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:~/.composer/vendor/bin/'  >> ~/.bash_profile

```

### Commands

[](#commands)

Both commands are similar: One will symlink vendor modules, the other will copy resources. The root directory used as the public webroot is `resources` by default.

- `vendor-plugin-helper copy /path/to/www`
- `vendor-plugin-helper link /path/to/www`

Optional args:

- `--target` Top level folder to link resources to. Defaults to `resources`
