Adding composer.json

[mcallisto]

It would be great if this plugin (and its dependencies) could be installed via composer.

[burzum]

ok!

Let me know if I'm missing something, first time I set this up for a cakephp plugin 7f33e2a

@burzum thank you very much, really nice of you.

I loaded it with the following app/composer.json in my project and the update was completed

{
    "config": {
        "vendor-dir": "Vendor"
    },
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "vcs",
            "url": "https://github.com/burzum/FileStorage.git"
        }    
    ],
    "require": {
        "burzum/FileStorage": "dev-develop"
    }
}

Note that doing so the Gaufrette library is in app/Vendor/knplabs/gaufrette this means adding in app/Config/bootstrap.php the following lines

Configure::write(
    'FileStorage.GaufretteLib',
    APP . 'Vendor' . DS . 'knplabs' . DS . 'gaufrette' . DS . 'src' . DS
);

First problem: with the app/composer.json posted in my previous (above) comment, the plugin is created in Plugin/Filestorage (with lower case s) instead of Plugin/FileStorage (with upper case s).

As a comparison I am using also https://github.com/cakephp/debug_kit and this is correctly created in Plugin/DebugKit.

So I wonder if:

• there is a solution (not found it yet) in the json syntax for this, allowing to change the name of the root folder of the plugin
• or the name of the Git repository must be changed

This is an issue of the composer CakePHP installer -> https://github.com/composer/installers/blob/master/src/Composer/Installers/CakePHPInstaller.php

It does not handle CamelCasedWords correctly.

I've fixed it https://github.com/burzum/installers/commit/87e0ea2e85b47a90c4cba1556a8b76f199e120d8 and created a pull request composer/installers#89

As a workaround please try this:

"extra": {
    "installer-paths": {
        "Plugin/FileStorage": ["vendor/package"]
    }
}

See http://getcomposer.org/doc/faqs/how-do-i-install-a-package-to-a-custom-path-for-my-framework.md

Thank you, running composer update, due to your accepted pull request, now installs the plugin with the correct name.

If you agree, these could be the possible next steps:

1. Adding an app/composer.json to https://github.com/cakedc/imagine
2. Having this dependency suggested (not required) in this app/composer.json

[mcallisto]

As a first step, I proposed this pull request https://github.com/mcallisto/Imagine/commit/5d9f732c3fadad049a113a0a8ffab7bac5476d01

[burzum]

Merged it.

[mcallisto]

Sorry, it contained a typo, my mistake, see https://github.com/mcallisto/Imagine/commit/f78c08988bd1bfa2dfdda86d5a0e86e54b8d208c

Thanks for the PR!
