README

This package provides a basic reinstall command for composer.

About

When using the Composer Package Manager, you may find the need to reinstall a given package, either after making changes, or because the package's installation was otherwise damaged. Composer doesn't provide this command itself, as such, there isn't a way to handle this process. The package provides a reinstall command for composer.

How it works

The reinstall command leverages composers installation mechinism, in order to ensure that the package gets installed correctly. In order to force composer to reinstall a package, you need to remove the package from the system, and then run composer install, to download any missing dependencies. With the new command, the package(s) are removed from the filesystem and then the installer is used to redownload the packages.

Installation

Either add this package to the local or global composer install. To add the package to your project run the following command.

composer require roygoldman/composer-reinstall

Usage

Once the package is installed, you should run the following command to reinstall a given package or set of packages.

composer reinstall vendor/package [vendor/package2 ...]
