What is this?
=============

[](#what-is-this)

It's a bit like [symfony/thanks](https://github.com/symfony/thanks), but it tries to tackle a bigger problem! **The climate crisis.**

Open Source can have positive impact on it. With Treeware every donation is a motivation to work on Open Source code.

The [Treeware idea](https://treeware.earth/about) is great, but it's not very visible. This package tries to solve it.

Install
-------

[](#install)

Add this package as dependency to your package:

```
$ composer require treeware/plant
```

Add an `extra` attribute to your package composer.json that contains at least an empty `treeware` object:

```
{
    "extra": {
        "treeware": {}
    }
}
```

Or use this handy shortcut:

```
composer config extra.treeware --json {}
```

To change the default output, add your own `teaser` and `priceGroup` properties:

```
{
    "extra": {
        "treeware": {
            "teaser": [
              "Your message to the consumers of your package to convince them.",
              "Multiple lines are possible, but not more than 3 lines and 200 characters."
            ],
            "priceGroups": {
              "useful": 100,
              "important": 250,
              "critical": 500
            }
        }
    }
}
```
