README
This plugin allows you to download extra files and extract them within your package.
This is an updated version of civicrm/composer-downloads-plugin. It adds support for more archive files and allow custom variables.
Example
Suppose your PHP package foo/bar relies on an external archive file (examplelib-1.1.0-windows-amd64.zip on Windows, or examplelib-1.1.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz on Linux, or examplelib-1.1.0-darwin-x86_64.tar.gz on MacOS):
{
"name": "foo/bar",
"require": {
"pact-foundation/composer-downloads-plugin": "^1.0"
},
"extra": {
"downloads": {
"examplelib": {
"url": "https://example.com/examplelib-{$version}-{$os}-{$architecture}${$musl}.{$extension}",
"path": "extern/{$id}",
"version": "1.1.0",
"variables": {
"{$musl}": "PHP_OS === 'Linux' && musl() === true ? '-musl' : ''",
"{$os}": "strtolower(PHP_OS_FAMILY)",
"{$architecture}": "strtolower(php_uname('m'))",
"{$extension}": "PHP_OS_FAMILY === 'Windows' ? 'zip' : 'tar.gz'",
},
"ignore": ["tests", "doc", "*.md"],
"hash": {
"algo": "sha256",
"value": "08fbce50f84d89fdf1fdef425c7dd1a13c5c023fa87f453ba77db4df27d273c0"
}
}
}
}
}
When a downstream user of foo/bar runs composer require foo/bar, it will download and extract the archive file to vendor/foo/bar/extern/examplelib.
