Composer Utility: Create Repository section for local dev package
=================================================================

[](#composer-utility-create-repository-section-for-local-dev-package)

When creating new PHP packages for use with composer it is much easier to develop if you can link code directly to a test project.

I always forgot exactly what the syntax was to add this section to my composer file so I decided to make a command to do it.

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

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require tobya/addlocalcomposerrepo
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Package installs 2 Commands

```
php artisan composer:addlocalrepo

php artisan composer:remove-local-repository

```

Both prompt for missing parameters

```
php artisan  composer:addlocalrepo

 Package Name eg. tobya/QueueStatus:
 > tobya/WebflowSiteConverter2

 Full Directory Path:
 > C:\Development\github\Webflow\WebflowSiteConverter

All done - Local Repo for tobya/WebflowSiteConverter2 has been created.
Don't forget to composer require your package
Composer require tobya/WebflowSiteConverter2

You may also need to change minimum stability on composer.json.
```

Or Just do this
---------------

[](#or-just-do-this)

Add this to your `composer.json` file

```
    "repositories": {
        "tobya/newpackage": {
            "type": "path",
            "url": "C:/Development/github/test/newpackageA",
            "options": {
                "symlink": true
            }
        }
    },
```

Testing
-------

[](#testing)

```
composer test
```
