README
Simplifies development of libraries by linking them into your project. loosely based on npm link and ro0NL/composer-link, which is currently no longer updated and has some dependency errors in some cases.
Installation
If you want to install this globally:
composer global require henzeb/composer-link
If you want to install this per project:
composer require henzeb/composer-link
Usage
Every link made will be transformed to a relative path. This is useful in situations where you want to test inside a docker container or virtual machine.
Link
To link a local package you must be sure to have it required first. After that you can just point to the location where your package resides:
composer link ../path/to/your/package
Unlink
Linking/unlinking previously linked packages
If you have linked a package before, composer-link has stored the path inside a file called linked.json
. Whenever you are not developing and need the package version that was actually installed, just call the following:
composer unlink
And when you want to continue developing
composer link
you can add the package name to specify a specific package if needed.
composer link yourname/your-package
configuration
This package requires no configuration and works out of the box. You can however change the location/filename of this file by adding link
with the path where you want the configuration to be stored inside the extra
parameter of your composer.json of your project.
...
"extra": {
"link":"path/to/your/linked.json"
},
