I created this to avoid copying manualy the bootstrap less files into a temporary folder and overriding the variables.less for generating a custom bootstrap.css file using the less filter from the [symfony/assetic-bundle](https://github.com/symfony/assetic-bundle). Installation / Usage -------------------- [](#installation--usage) 1. In your composer.json project's file add the requirements ``` composer require sreichel/composer-plugin-file-copy ``` ``` { "require": { "sreichel/composer-plugin-file-copy": "^1.0.0" } } ``` 2. In your composer.json project's file add the config in the extra element ``` composer config --json --merge extra.file-copy '[{"source": "vendor/dir", "target": "lib/vendor", "debug": true}]' ``` ``` { "extra": { "file-copy" : [ { "source": "vendor/dir", "target": "lib/vendor", "debug": true } ] } } ``` or ``` { "extra": { "file-copy" : [ { "source": "vendor/dir", "target": "lib/vendor", "debug": true }, { "source": "src/Some/Bundle/less/bootstrap/*.less", "target": "var/less/bootstrap" }, { "source": "/home/username/Documents/*.{js,css}", "target": "var/test" } ] } } ``` > **Note:** The destination element must be a folder. if the destination folder does not exists, it is recursively created using `mkdir($destination, 0755, true)`. > **Note:** If the destination folder is not an absolute path, the relative path is calculated using the vendorDir path (`$project_path = \realpath($this->composer->getConfig()->get('vendor-dir').'/../').'/'`;) > **Note:** The source element is evaluated using the php function `\glob($source, GLOB_MARK)` and a recursive copy is made for every result of this function into the destination folder Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) PHP 7.4 or above Authors ------- [](#authors) Abdelkadeur Seifeddine Salah - - License ------- [](#license) Composer is licensed under the MIT License - see the [LICENSE](./LICENSE) file for details ### Health Score 31 — LowBetter than 68% of packages Maintenance38 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity22 Limited adoption so far Community9 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity44 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 53.1% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
