README

This composer plugin add extra configuration to copy folders from the vendor to another one.

It can be useful to publish assets to a public document root. The framework symfony uses the similar method to publish assets from users' extensions to the apache public document root.

Installation

Add jbouzekri/composer-deploy-plugin as a dependency in composer.json.

"jbouzekri/composer-deploy-plugin": "~1.0"

Then run the composer install or composer update command.

Configuration

All the plugin configuration must be placed in the extra key of your project composer.json.

{
    "extra": {
        "jb-composer-deploy": {
            "target-dir": "relative path to the folder where you want to deploy",
            "folders": [
                "list of folders name to deploy"
            ],
            "exclude": [
                "full package name to exclude"
            ],
            "symlink": false,
            "relative": false
        }
    }
}

• target-dir : relative path to the folder where you want to deploy (mandatory)
• folders : array of folders name to deploy
• exclude : array of full package name to exclude
• symlink : use symlink to deploy
• relative : use symlink relative path to deploy (symlink must be set at true)

The target dir must exists before running the command

Example

In this example, all js and css folders from the project packages will be deployed in a web/composed folder using a hard copy (no symlink) except the ones in doctrine/orm package.

{
    "require": {
        "doctrine/orm": "~2.2,>=2.2.3",
        "doctrine/doctrine-bundle": "~1.2",
        "jbouzekri/composer-deploy-plugin": "~1.0"
    },
    "extra": {
        "jb-composer-deploy": {
            "target-dir": "web/composed",
            "folders": [
                "js",
                "css"
            ],
            "exclude": [
                "doctrine/orm"
            ],
            "symlink": false,
            "relative": false
        }
    }
}

Imagine that a first composer install has created the following vendor tree :

• composer.phar
• composer.json
• vendor/jbouzekri/composer-deploy-plugin
• vendor/jbouzekri/composer-deploy-plugin/css
• vendor/doctrine/orm
• vendor/doctrine/orm/src
• vendor/doctrine/orm/css
• vendor/doctrine/doctrine-bundle
• vendor/doctrine/doctrine-bundle/src
• vendor/doctrine/doctrine-bundle/css
• vendor/doctrine/doctrine-bundle/js

After configuring the deploy plugin with the previous configuration, each composer install or update will copy the css and js folders of all packages to the folder web/composed creating the following tree :

• web/composed/doctrine-orm/css
• web/composed/doctrine-bundle/css
• web/composed/doctrine-bundle/js
