To use Yii 2 composer installer, simply set the package `type` to be `yii2-extension` in your `composer.json`, like the following: ``` { "type": "yii2-extension", "require": { "yiisoft/yii2": "~2.0.0" }, ... } ``` You may specify a bootstrapping class in the `extra` section. The `init()` method of the class will be executed each time the Yii 2 application is responding to a request. For example, ``` { "type": "yii2-extension", ..., "extra": { "bootstrap": "yii\\jui\\Extension" } } ``` The `Installer` class also implements a static method `postCreateProject()` that can be called after a Yii 2 project is created, through the `post-create-project-cmd` composer script. A similar method exists for running tasks after each `composer install` call, which is `postInstall()`. These methods allow to run other `Installer` class methods like `setPermission()` or `generateCookieValidationKey()`, depending on the corresponding parameters set in the `extra` section of the `composer.json` file. For example, ``` { "name": "yiisoft/yii2-app-basic", "type": "project", ... "scripts": { "post-create-project-cmd": [ "yii\\composer\\Installer::postCreateProject" ], "post-install-cmd": [ "yii\\composer\\Installer::postInstall" ] }, "extra": { "yii\\composer\\Installer::postCreateProject": { "setPermission": [ { "runtime": "0777", "web/assets": "0777", "yii": "0755" } ] }, "yii\\composer\\Installer::postInstall": { "copyFiles": [ { "config/templates/console-local.php": "config/console-local.php", "config/templates/web-local.php": "config/web-local.php", "config/templates/db-local.php": "config/db-local.php", "config/templates/cache.json": ["runtime/cache.json", true] } ], "generateCookieValidationKey": [ "config/web-local.php" ] } } } ``` ### Health Score 63 — FairBetter than 99% of packages Maintenance64 Regular maintenance activity Popularity64 Solid adoption and visibility Community46 Growing community involvement Maturity71 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor2 2 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
