README

Provides a composer plugin for normalizing composer.json.

Why

When it comes to formatting composer.json, you have the following options:

• you can stop caring
• you can format it manually (and request changes when contributors format it differently)
• you can use ergebnis/composer-normalize

ergebnis/composer-normalize normalizes composer.json, so you don't have to.

💡 If you want to find out more, take a look at the examples and read this blog post.

Installation

Composer

Run

$ composer require --dev ergebnis/composer-normalize

to install ergebnis/composer-normalize as a composer plugin.

Phar

Head over to http://github.com/ergebnis/composer-normalize/releases/latest and download the latest composer-normalize.phar.

Run

$ chmod +x composer-normalize.phar

to make the downloaded composer-normalize.phar executable.

Phive

Run

$ phive install ergebnis/composer-normalize

to install ergebnis/composer-normalize with PHIVE.

Usage

Composer

Run

$ composer normalize

to normalize composer.json in the working directory.

Phar

Run

$ ./composer-normalize.phar

to normalize composer.json in the working directory.

Phive

Run

$ ./tools/composer-normalize

to normalize composer.json in the working directory.

Details

The NormalizeCommand provided by the NormalizePlugin within this package will

• determine whether a composer.json exists
• determine whether a composer.lock exists, and if so, whether it is up to date (unless the --no-check-lock option is used)
• use normalizers to normalize the content of composer.json
• format the normalized content (either as sniffed, or as specified using the --indent-size and --indent-style options)
• write the normalized and formatted content of composer.json back to the file
• update the hash in composer.lock if it exists and if an update is necessary

Arguments

• file: Path to composer.json file (optional, defaults to composer.json in working directory)

Options

• --diff: Show the results of normalizing
• --dry-run: Show the results of normalizing, but do not modify any files
• --indent-size: Indent size (an integer greater than 0); should be used with the --indent-style option
• --indent-style: Indent style (one of "space", "tab"); should be used with the --indent-size option
• --no-check-lock: Do not check if lock file is up to date
• --no-update-lock: Do not update lock file if it exists

As an alternative to specifying the --indent-size and --indent-style options, you can also use composer extra to configure these options in composer.json:

{
  "extra": {
    "composer-normalize": {
      "indent-size": 2,
      "indent-style": "space",
    }
  }
}

💡 The configuration provided in composer extra always overrides the configuration provided via command line options.

Continuous Integration

If you want to run this in continuous integration services, use the --dry-run option.

$ composer normalize --dry-run

In case composer.json is not normalized (or composer.lock is not up-to-date), the command will fail with an exit code of 1 and show a diff.

Normalizers

The ComposerJsonNormalizer composes normalizers provided by ergebnis/json-normalizer:

• Ergebnis\Json\Normalizer\ChainNormalizer
• Ergebnis\Json\Normalizer\SchemaNormalizer

as well as the following normalizers provided by this package:

• Ergebnis\Composer\Json\Normalizer\BinNormalizer
• Ergebnis\Composer\Json\Normalizer\ConfigHashNormalizer
• Ergebnis\Composer\Json\Normalizer\PackageHashNormalizer
• Ergebnis\Composer\Json\Normalizer\VersionConstraintNormalizer

BinNormalizer

If composer.json contains an array of scripts in the bin section, the BinNormalizer will sort the elements of the bin section by value in ascending order.

💡 Find out more about the bin section at https://getcomposer.org/doc/04-schema.md#bin.

ConfigHashNormalizer

If composer.json contains any configuration in the

• config
• extra
• scripts-descriptions

sections, the ConfigHashNormalizer will sort the content of these sections by key in ascending order.

💡 Find out more about the config section at https://getcomposer.org/doc/06-config.md.

PackageHashNormalizer

If composer.json contains any configuration in the

• conflict
• provide
• replace
• require
• require-dev
• suggest

sections, the PackageHashNormalizer will sort the content of these sections.

💡 This transfers the behaviour from using the --sort-packages or sort-packages configuration flag to other sections. Find out more about the --sort-packages flag and configuration at https://getcomposer.org/doc/06-config.md#sort-packages and https://getcomposer.org/doc/03-cli.md#require.

VersionConstraintNormalizer

If composer.json contains version constraints in the

• conflict
• provide
• replace
• require
• require-dev

sections, the VersionConstraintNormalizer will ensure that

• all constraints are trimmed
• and constraints are separated by a single space ( ) or a comma (,)
• or constraints are separated by double-pipe with a single space before and after (||)
• range constraints are separated by a single space ( )

💡 Find out more about version constraints at https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/versions.md.

Credits

The algorithm for sorting packages in the PackageHashNormalizer has been adopted from Composer\Json\JsonManipulator::sortPackages() (originally licensed under MIT by Nils Adermann and Jordi Boggiano), which I initially contributed to composer/composer with composer/composer#3549 and composer/composer#3872.
