I have created a private composer package in packagist.com but when I use
composer require command to fetch it. My package coming under vendor folder which is on root.
But I want it to be in app/code folder. Is there any parameter for composer.json where I can set app/code, so it will come under app/code/.
Yes there is. According to the composer documentation, if your project uses the PSR-4 specification for loading classes, then adding the snippet below to the composer.json file would work.
NB: You will need to change ProjectNameSpace to the base namespace for your project.
...
"autoload": {
"psr-4": {
"ProjectNameSpace\\": "app/code"
}
},
...
Theoretically. You can't composer will always place the code in vendor directory. The code is external and therefore can be updated only by composer. It must not be in app/code as only code you modify for the project should be in app/code.
If you wish to make a Magento project, you should have the fallowing files in the versioning tool.
app/*
composer.json
composer.lock
.htaccess
index.php
The other files will be handled by composer.
But if you really need to do it, but I don't see any reason to do so, then you could use a post-update & post-install script to move the code. But it's a very bad idea.

I am new to prestashop and trying to add a 3rd party library in vendor folder which i could use in my custom module. I have added composer.json in my module as well but unable to get the 3rd party library installed in prestashop vendor folder.
Any help/guidance would be much appreciated.
I used the fzaninotto/faker library and I got it working like this :
Composer.json at the root of my module :
{
"require": {
"fzaninotto/faker": "^1.6"
}
}
then run
composer install
Now in order to use this package I created a file called faker.php at the root of my module that starts with including the correct files :
<?php
require('vendor/autoload.php');
require('../../config/config.inc.php');
$faker = Faker\Factory::create('fr_FR');
Basicly this is a 3 step process :
1. Create your composer.json
2. Run composer install
3. Include the autoload.php that is in the newly created vendor directory, make sure you use the correct relative path
I am new to composer and I used it to install the oauth2-client. I think I am having some sort of misunderstanding about how this is supposed to work.
From thephpleague github page I installed from the command line using
composer require league/oauth2-client
This added files to /usr/local/bin/vendor/league/oauth2-client.
The file structure looks the same as it does on github, except I don't have all the same files.
And the php in the files is looking for files in \League\OAuth2, so I am getting errors that it can't find included files, because I don't have that directory.
Did I do it wrong, or am I just not getting something?
The backslash is the PHP namespace separator, not the directory separator.
In the composer.json for oauth2 from TheLeague, this is the autoload directive:
"autoload": {
"psr-4": {
"League\\OAuth2\\Client\\": "src/"
}
},
It says that the code inside of src directory is in the League\OAuth2\Client namespace.
Composer follows PSR-4 with regards to namespacing and autoloading, so check that out if you want to know what goes on.
UPDATE:
If you've installed other League extensions, like oauth2-facebook, it will install itself into the same src directory - because of the autoload directive in composer.json.
Why?
Well, because of the namespace, you will find 'Facebook' in the League\OAuth2\Client\Provider namespace.
Because of PSR-4, this means that they need to go into the same directory, even though they are different packages.
That is the reason why you'll see Facebook.php in src/Providers directory. Check the oauth2-facebook repository
You probably have required oauth2-facebook and oauth2-google, or one of your other required packages requires it. It rarely just add themselves. :)
Why does the following root composer.json result in an vendor/composer/autoload_classmap.php containing all the class mappings for Smarty's classes – although the composer.json of typo3-ter/smarty does not come with any autoload configuration?
{
"repositories": [
{
"type": "composer",
"url": "https://composer.typo3.org"
}
],
"require": {
"typo3/cms": "^6.2",
"typo3-ter/smarty": "2.1.2"
}
}
Some background info:
https://composer.typo3.org is a composer repository, which enables legacy TYPO3 Extension Repository (TER) extensions to be installable via composer. Because TER extensions do not have a vendor name, all of them share the same vendor, which is "typo3-ter".
This (legacy) composer repository is built by using meta information (dependencies to other TER extensions and TYPO3 versions, author, description …) from TER.
To make this repository more useful for end users and especially because TYPO3 >7.6 completely relies on the composer autoloader when installed via composer, the complete extension directory is added to the composer classmap. Without that, extension classes would not be loadable at all, without any additional configuration.
Because this can cause trouble, I taught TER to partially capture information from composer.json in case this file is present. This means if a composer.json is present and it contains an autoload section, this section is used to generate the autoload information for this extension on composer.typo3.org
Regarding the smarty extension:
Surprisingly this extension has a composer.json file already. But it is broken. First and foremost: It misses autoload information, although it clearly has classes available. Because of the lack of autoload information, the composer.typo3.org package generator adds the complete directory as classmap.
If this causes trouble (you never mentioned that, but I assume so), you should add the repo directly as type "vcs" to your composer.json and require "rtp/smarty" instead of "typo3-ter/smarty".
Or you ask the author to fix the composer.json and upload a new version to TER, or even better register that package directly on packagist.org
I want to install a package into my local project.For that I'm creating a composer.json file in my project folder is given below, it gives the total vendor folder of that package into my custom folder in my project. Its working fine.....
{
"config": {
"vendor-dir": "/var/www/html/Test2/Testing/Down"
},
}
It gives the package into 'Down' folder.
But, now I want the sub folders or files in that packages to be installed in my custom folders like js/css folders in my project.
For example i want jquery.js file into my local folder path
/var/www/html/Test2/Testing/assests/js
From the package "frameworks/jquery".
For that, what changes are needed in my composer.json file?
Composer is used to bring in packages to support the PHP code of a project, here is how they describe it on the Composer website:
Composer is a tool for dependency management in PHP. It allows you to
declare the libraries your project depends on and it will manage
(install/update) them for you.
In other words, if you need to do logging in your PHP code and decide to use the publicly available monolog package, you use composer to bring that package into your project, then in your PHP code, you can call monolog functions.
Using config to rename the vendor directory is trying to use Composer in a way that doesn't fit the intent of the tool. The vendor directory is used to hold the packages brought in (such as the monolog code). The vendor-dir value is simply renaming that directory.
Since you have GitHub listed as a tag, you could possibly use cloning to get your files to your website directory.
I've modified my composer.json file, it looks like the below:
{
"config": {
"vendor-dir": "/var/www/html/Test2/Testing/Down"
},
"require": {
},
"scripts": {
"post-package-install": [
"php -r \"exec('cp -r /var/www/html/Test2/Testing/Down/frameworks/jquery/* /var/www/html/Test2/Testing/assets/js');\""
]
}
}
It will gives all selected files in a package to my local folder.
Briefly the files in the folder 'frameworks/jquery' are copied into my local 'assets/js' folder.
I want to put https://github.com/timrwood/moment into my composer.json for easy maintenance.
It's not an official packagist project (of course, as it's not PHP), but it contains a packages.json for nodejs. Can I use this in my composer.json?
I tried this, but it didn't work:
{
"repositories": {
"timrwood/moment": {
"type": "git",
"url": "git://github.com/timrwood/moment.git"
}
}
}
It throws an error message saying "No valid composer.json was found in any branch or tag of git://github.com/timrwood/moment.git, could not load a package from it."
And it is lacking the version string to define the version I want to use...
Can anyone help here?
Or shouldn't I use composer here at all cause I'm mixing JS and PHP?
Composer only manages composer packages. It does not know how to parse a package.json file. There are different approaches to this problem. Composer may be able to deal with frontend dependencies in the future.
For the time being I'd recommend using a separate dependency manager for your JavaScript dependencies. Either NPM or something like jam or ender.
Check out composer plugin to handle components via bower, nodejs and git repositories: fxpio/composer-asset-plugin.
