Packagist Short Code
====================

[](#packagist-short-code)

Add a short code for adding a Packagist installs button with a count to a HTMLText field.

Maintainer Contact
------------------

[](#maintainer-contact)

- Ed Chipman ([UndefinedOffset](https://github.com/UndefinedOffset))

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- SilverStripe CMS ^4|^5|^6

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

[](#installation)

**Composer (recommended):**

```
composer require webbuilders-group/silverstripe-packagistshortcode

```

If you prefer you may also install manually:

- Download the module from here
- Extract the downloaded archive into your site root so that the destination folder is called githubshortcode, opening the extracted folder should contain \_config.php in the root along with other files/folders
- Run dev/build?flush=all to regenerate the manifest

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Usage is pretty straight forward to add a packagist downloads button you simply add the following:

```
[packagist package="package owner/package name"]

```

Optionally you may add mode="monthly" or button="daily" (defaults to total) to show the download count for the given period.

```
[packagist package="package owner/package name" mode="monthly"]

```

In 3.1 the short codes above will work as included however the updated syntax for the short code would be (of course layout and button are not required):

```
[packagist,package="package owner/package name",mode="monthly"]

```
