README

Rinvex Composer is an intuitive package that leverages the Composer Plugin API, offering enhanced installation features, that allow packages to be installed outside the standard vendor directory and executing custom scripts during the install, update, and uninstall phases.

Installation

1. Install the package via composer:

   composer require rinvex/laravel-composer

2. Optional if you want to change the configurations:

   php artisan rinvex:publish:composer

3. Done!

Usage

The main purpose of this package is to adjust Composer's default behavior, allowing custom packages to install outside the vendor directory. It uses the Composer Plugin API and has built-in support for Rinvex Cortex modules, extensions, and themes.

Supported Package Types

• cortex-theme
• cortex-module
• cortex-extension

Notes:

• Checkout Composer's Custom Installers
• You can add more custom package types via the config file at config/rinvex.composer.php. This file provides examples of custom package types. To understand how it works, consider examining the composer plugin logic.

Basic Usage

Rinvex Cortex modules, extensions and themes are installed to customizable paths, allowing placement wherever you prefer. The default configurations use these paths:

• cortex-theme - config('rinvex.composer.cortex-theme.path') (default: app/themes)
• cortex-module - config('rinvex.composer.cortex-module.path') (default: app/modules)
• cortex-extension - config('rinvex.composer.cortex-extension.path') (default: app/extensions)

When creating a new Rinvex Cortex module, extension, or theme, specify the correct composer package type in your package's composer.json. Use "type": "cortex-module" for modules, "type": "cortex-extension" for extensions, and "type": "cortex-theme" for themes.

Afterward, execute composer install or composer update in your application's root directory. The Rinvex Composer Installer will identify the package type and place it in the correct directory.
