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

[](#installation)

You can install it either globally (recommended):

```
composer global require sllh/composer-lint
```

or locally:

```
composer require sllh/composer-lint
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

That's it! Composer will enable automatically the plugin as soon it's installed.

Just run `composer validate` command to see the plugin working.

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

You can configure the plugin via the [`COMPOSER_HOME/config.json`](https://getcomposer.org/doc/03-cli.md#composer-home) file. Here is the default one:

```
{
    "config": {
        "sllh-composer-lint": {
            "php": true,
            "type": true,
            "minimum-stability": true,
            "version-constraints": true
        },
        "sort-packages": false
    }
}
```

- `php`: Checks if the PHP requirement is set on the `require` section.
- `type`: Check if package `type` is defined.
- `minimum-stability`: Checks if `minimum-stability` is set. It raises an error if it is, except for `project` packages.
- `version-constraints`: Checks if version constraint formats are valid (e.g. `~2.0` should be `^2.0`).
- `sort-packages`: Checks if packages are sorted on each section. This option is outside `sllh-composer-lint` because it's a composer native one.
