What is composer-extra-plugin?
------------------------------

[](#what-is-composer-extra-plugin)

It is custom plugin, which can get settings from json files, included via composer.json. Plugin correctly works with **wikimedia/composer-merge-plugin**. You can storage your settings in included non-tracked file, for example.

In additional, composer-extra-plugin can be used for automatisation long commads, like **docker-compose**.

How to install
--------------

[](#how-to-install)

```
composer require vladitot/composer-extra-plugin

```

### If you just deployed project, which contains this plugin for managing docker, and cant start it without plugin, it is recommended to do:

[](#if-you-just-deployed-project-which-contains-this-plugin-for-managing-docker-and-cant-start-it-without-plugin-it-is-recommended-to-do)

```
composer install --ignore-platofrm-reqs

    instead of

composer install

```

Plugin will be installed and then you can use it correctly.

How to use?
-----------

[](#how-to-use)

#### You can store settings in your composer.json file.

[](#you-can-store-settings-in-your-composerjson-file)

Like this:

```
 "extra": {
    "XDEBUG_CONFIG": {
      "remote_host": "192.168.1.47",
      "remote_port": "9001",
      "remote_mode": "req",
      "remote_handler": "dbgp",
      "idekey": ""
    },
    "sshkey": {
      "sshKeyPath": "/home/username/.ssh/id_rsa"
    }
}

```

Then you can get params like this:

```
composer extra-get "sshkey-sshKeyPath"
composer extra-get "sshkey"

```

\####What about commands? Use this

```
"extra": {
    "sshkey": {
      "sshKeyPath": "/home/username/.ssh/id_rsa"
    },
    "extracommands": {
      "@7%": "cd laradock",
      "@8%": "cd ../",
      "@9%": "echo Building... && docker-compose build workspace php-fpm nginx laravel-horizon",

      "up":  "@7% && @9% && docker-compose up -d workspace laravel-horizon nginx redis memcached portainer redis-commander selenoid selenoid-ui && @8%",
      "restart-all":  "@7% && docker-compose restart workspace nginx redis memcached portainer laravel-horizon selenoid selenoid-ui redis-commander && @8%",
      "restart":  "@7% && docker-compose restart @params% && @8%",
      }
   }

```

Then you can use it like this:

```
composer runt up

or

composer runt down

```

on your host machine, and it will run command, as alias.

#### P.S. Getting variables from your PHP application

[](#ps-getting-variables-from-your-php-application)

In additional, you can get settings from json inside your application. Use class **\\ExtraPlugin\\StaticHelper** for this

#### Lifehack for Linux

[](#lifehack-for-linux)

Put in your ~/.bashrc:

```
function runt () {
	A="composer runt \"$1\" \"${@:2}\""
	bash -c "$A"
}

```

Then you will allow to use (instead of composer runt artisan):

```
runt artisan

```

By the way, with this lifehack you will able to use additional params for command under "runt".

```
runt artisan --help

```

It will show **artisan help** instead of **composer help**
