README
Introduction
The wieni/composer-plugin-patchsets
is a PHP Composer plugin designed to address the complexities in managing and applying patches within Drupal projects.
This plugin aims to centralize patch management, enabling a consistent approach to applying patches across multiple projects.
Problem Statement
Current practices utilizing cweagans/composer-patches
for patch management in projects have introduced several challenges:
- Lack of uniformity in patch application across different projects leads to inconsistencies in behaviors.
- Difficulty in identifying and applying the same patches when upgrading versions due to variations in patch creation among different projects.
Objective
The primary goal of the wieni/composer-plugin-patchsets
is to enable dependency patch resolution. A feature thas has been deprecated in cweagans/composer-patches
.
Functionality
The plugin leverages the new plugin capabilities released by cweagans/composer-patches
, allowing it to add patches by registering a custom Resolver.
Usage
- Create a repository (eg
your-org/drupal-patches
) that contains acomposer.json
with patches defined as documented bycweagans/composer-patches
. - Require the
wieni/composer-plugin-patchsets
plugin and your new patch repository (your-org/drupal-patches
) in your Drupal project. - Define the patch repository (
your-org/drupal-patches
) as a patch set in yourcomposer.json
:
{ "extra": { "patchRepositories": [ "your-org/drupal-patches" ] } }
This configuration instructs wieni/composer-plugin-patchsets
to apply the patches defined in the your-org/drupal-patches
repository.
Advanced Configuration
The plugin supports an advanced configuration allowing the exclusion of specific packages and patches.
This next example demonstrates the exclusion of the "#2907810
" patch for drupal/core
and all patches for drupal/field_group
.
{ "extra": { "patchRepositories": [ { "name": "your-org/drupal-patches", "excludedPatches": { "drupal/core": [ "#2907810" ], "drupal/field_group": ["*"] } } ] } }
