Composer script handling creation of symlinks from your selected installed dependencies to location of your choice.

Installation
============

[](#installation)

Installation can be done as usually using composer. `composer require vanio/symlink-handler`

Usage
=====

[](#usage)

Add the following in your root `composer.json` file:

```
"require": {
    "vanio/symlink-handler": "dev-master",
    "components/jquery": "2.2.1"
},
"scripts": {
    "post-install-cmd": [
        "Vanio\\SymlinkHandler\\ScriptHandler::createSymlinks"
    ],
    "post-update-cmd": [
        "Vanio\\SymlinkHandler\\ScriptHandler::createSymlinks"
    ]
},
"extra": {
    "symlinks": {
        "components": "web/vendor/components"
    }
}
```

After running either `composer install` or `composer update`, jquery will be accessible from your web folder `web/vendor/components/jquery/jquery.min.js`.

But of course, you have to be careful when making symlinks to a folder which is publicly accessible.
