Why?

Because of the lack of dependency management in WordPress, if two plugins bundled conflicting versions of the same package, hard-to-reproduce bugs arise. Monkey patching composer vendor packages, wrapping them inside your own namespace is a less-than-ideal solution to avoid such conflicts.

See:

Install

Installation should be done via composer, details of how to install composer can be found at https://getcomposer.org/.

$ composer require typisttech/imposter-plugin

Then, config Imposter in your composer.json

"extra": {
    "imposter": {
        "namespace": "My\\App\\Vendor",
        "excludes": [
            "dummy/dummy-excluded"
        ]
    }
}

See: Imposter readme for details.

Usage

Sit Back and Relax

Once installed, Imposter Plugin hooks into composer install, composer update and composer dump-autoload, automatically run Imposter for you. Besides, Imposter Plugin autoloads all modified files as classmap.

composer imposter:run

If you want to run Imposter manually:

$ composer imposter:run

Note: You need to run $ composer dump-autoload after this command.

This command:

Look for /path/to/project/root/composer.json
Find out vendor-dir
Find out all required packages, including those required by dependencies
Find out all autoload paths for all required packages
Prefix all namespaces with the imposter-plugin namespace defined in your composer.json

Before:

<?php

namespace Dummy\File;

use AnotherDummy\{
    SubAnotherDummy, SubOtherDummy
};
use Dummy\SubOtherDummy;
use OtherDummy\SubOtherDummy;
use RuntimeException;

class DummyClass
{
}

After:

<?php

namespace My\App\Vendor\Dummy\File;

use My\App\Vendor\AnotherDummy\{
    SubAnotherDummy, SubOtherDummy
};
use My\App\Vendor\Dummy\SubOtherDummy;
use My\App\Vendor\OtherDummy\SubOtherDummy;
use RuntimeException;

class DummyClass
{
}
