README

Composer Importer is a Composer plugin that can import all contrib modules from an existing Drupal site already using composer into the composer file. This is useful when the composer file doesn't get used properly and modules end up being installed outside composer.

This project was created based on the work by grasmash/composerize-drupal

Installation

composer global require bap72190/composer-importer

Usage:

cd path/to/drupal/project/repo
composer ci --composer-root=[repo-root] --drupal-root=[drupal-root]

The [composer-root] should be the root directory of your project, where existing composer.json file is located.

The [drupal-root] should be the Drupal root, where index.php is located.

Options

• --composer-root: Specifies the root directory of your project where composer.json will be generated. This should be the root of your Git repository, where .git is located.
• --drupal-root: Specifies the Drupal root directory where index.php is located.
• --no-update: Prevents composer update from being automatically run after composer.json is generated.
• --exact-versions: Will cause Drupal core and contributed projects (modules, themes, profiles) to be be required with exact verions constraints in composer.json, rather than using the default caret operator. E.g., a drupal/core would be required as 8.4.4 rather than ^8.4.4. This prevents projects from being updated. It is not recommended as a long-term solution, but may help you convert to using Composer more easily by reducing the size of the change to your project.
