Switon's Composer plugin and runtime reader for cached `extra` metadata.

Highlights
----------

[](#highlights)

- **Cached package metadata:** composer install and update keep one shared metadata cache current.
- **Runtime access:** `ComposerExtraInterface` reads discovery data without extra parsing.
- **Discovery support:** `extra.switon.*` can feed providers, commands, listeners, tasks, and jobs.
- **Automatic refresh:** the Composer plugin keeps the cache fresh.
- **Safe health checks:** cache status can be checked without throwing.

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require switon/composer-extra
```

Quick Start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

```
use Switon\ComposerExtra\ComposerExtraInterface;

final class PackageRegistry

    public function listeners(): array
    {
        return $this->composerExtra->collect('switon.listeners');
    }

    public function cacheHealth(): array
    {
        return $this->composerExtra->health();
    }
}
