  4. www.easybib.com [email protected] Extending Composer • In the beginning, there were

    custom installers. • Some examples: • custom installers for frameworks • custom installers for software • custom installers for assets and related
  5. www.easybib.com [email protected] Some very gut advice • Open source project

    management pro tip! • Add a plugin API so you don’t need to maintain what users are doing. • Second pro tip: don’t break the plugin API.
  6. www.easybib.com [email protected] Composer Plugins { “name”: “till/fancy-plugin”, “license”: “BSD-2-Clause”, “type”:

    “composer-plugin”, “require”: { “composer-plugin-api”: “1.0.0” }, “extra”: { “class”: “till\\Composer\\ExamplePlugin” } }
  7. www.easybib.com [email protected] Composer Plugins namespace till\Composer; use Composer\Composer, Composer\IO\IOInterface, Composer\Plugin\PluginInterface,

    Composer\Plugin\PluginEvents, Composer\Plugin\CommandEvent; class ExamplePlugin implements PluginInterface { protected $c, $io; public function activate(Composer $c, IOInterface $io) { $this->c = $c; $this->io = $io; } public static function getSubcribedEvents() { return array(PluginEvents::COMMAND => array(array(‘onCommand’, 0))); } public function onCommand(CommandEvent $e) { /* ... */ } }
  8. www.easybib.com [email protected] Wait, just two? • Currently two events are

    available. • If you need another event, let’s add it. • Example implementations • composer-aws: https://github.com/naderman/composer-aws • composer-newrelic: https://github.com/easybiblabs/composer-newrelic
  9. www.easybib.com [email protected] Global • `./composer.phar global install|update|require` • I don’t

    want to talk about it too much: http://getcomposer.org/doc/03-cli.md#global • Install plugins globally: ./composer.phar global require till/fancy-plugin:dev-master
