README

This is a composer plugin, to install composer packages in custom directories outside the default composer vendor folder.

It relies on a special prefix within the package-name:

Prefixes are installed to following paths:

    'admin' => './backend/admin/NAME/'
    'extension' => './backend/extensions/NAME/'
    'template' => './backend/templates/NAME/'
    'wizard' => './backend/wizards/NAME/'

In addition:

• the prefix will be removed and
• hyphens will be replaced by underscores

Examples:

• your-vendor-name/admin-project-setup will be installed to backend/admin/project_setup
• your-vendor-name/extension-usermanagement will be installed to backend/extensions/usermanagement
