README

A composer plugin provides new extra repository type va, working same as artifact but fetch version from filename, and a command for build all required packages as versionize archive.

Installation

Global scope installation

composer global require revonia/versionize-arch

Project scope installation

composer require revonia/versionize-arch

Usage

Use va repository

In order to use va repository, add below to composer.json file (or merge into extra field).

Notice that add va repository to composer repositories field won't work.

{
    "extra": {
        "extra-repositories": [
            {
                "type": "va",
                "url": "va-repo/"
            }
        ]
    }
}

When using composer require, composer will read versionize archives from url field and install if needed.

Build versionize archive

It is a waste of time to making archives and renaming, command build-va-repo will keep you happy.

Make sure you are in a composer project directory, then run composer build-va-repo, it will automatic create an directory named va-repo, all your installed composer packages will be archiving into it, and named like package-name$$version.zip. More options please see composer help build-va-repo.

By using va-repo directory as va repository, you can install composer packages without internet connection, It was useful when your application running on local network but need some update, you don't need any extra server for holding this repository.
