About

I searched for a package that could provide the same feature some package offer using the command line.

My goal is to display a web page on my web app with a vision of package up to date to help (advanced) users require the administrator help to update packages if needed.

Features

• Scan for your installed packages in the composer.lock file and returns the last available version for it
• Respect your composer.json requirements version

Requirements

• PHP >= 7.0.0
• composer.lock alongside your composer.json published and ready to be read
• An internet connection (because this library requests Packagist API)

Installation

In your console, install this package.

composer require khalyomede/dependency-scanner

Examples

• 1. Getting started
• 2. Specify custom file paths

1. Getting started

In this example, we will use the default configuration to find the file composer.json and composer.lock and get a list of key pair of out of date packages.

<?php

require __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';

use Khalyomede\DependencyScanner;

$scanner = new DependencyScanner;

$dependencies = $scanner->getOutdatedDependencies();

2. Specify custom file paths

In this example, we will use custom path (in case your run this script in a certain location where the default file path is not valid anymore).

<?php

use Khalyomede\DependencyScanner;

require __DIR__ . "/../vendor/autoload.php";

$scanner = new DependencyScanner;

$scanner->setComposerFilePath(__DIR__ . "/../composer.json");
$scanner->setLockFilePath(__DIR__ . "/../composer.lock");

$dependencies = $scanner->getOutdatedDependencies();
