Package Versions
================

[](#package-versions)

This utility provides quick and easy access to version information of composer dependencies.

This information is derived from the `composer.lock` file which is (re)generated during `composer install` or `composer update`.

```
$version = \PackageVersions\Versions::getVersion('ocramius/package-versions');

var_dump($version); // 1.0.0@0beec7b5ea3f0fdbc95d0dd47f3c5bc275da8a33
```

### Installation

[](#installation)

```
composer require ocramius/package-versions
```

It is suggested that you use a optimized composer autoloader in order to prevent autoload I/O when accessing the `PackageVersions\Versions` API:

Therefore you should use `optimize-autoloader: true` in your composer.json:

```
...
    "config": {
        "optimize-autoloader": true
    },
...

```

see

In case you manually generate your autoloader via the CLI use the `--optimize` flag:

```
composer dump-autoload --optimize
```

### Use-cases

[](#use-cases)

This repository implements `PackageVersions\Versions::getVersion()` in such a way that no IO happens when calling it, because the list of package versions is compiled during composer installation.

This is especially useful when you want to generate assets/code/artifacts that are computed from the current version of a certain dependency. Doing so at runtime by checking the installed version of a package would be too expensive, and this package mitigates that.
