Custom "installer-paths" for custom repositories

[AntonShevchuk]

Hi,
I want to install some version of jQuery to custom vendor directory:

{
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "package",
            "package": {
                "name": "gemini/jquery",
                "version": "dev-master",
                "dist": {
                    "url": "http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js",
                    "type": "file"
                },
                "require": {
                    "composer/installers": "~1.0"
                }
            }
        }
    ],
    "extra": {
        "installer-paths": {
            "public/js/vendor/{$name}": ["gemini/jquery"]
        }
    }
}

In result, directory /vendor/gemini/jquery and file jquery-1.10.2.js was created, but not moved to public/js/vendor

You need a custom package type that would be handled by composer/installers for this, but I don't think there is a generic type. Maybe someone else can help you with this, we don't really support js packages in composer itself.

Yes, bower is prefered for works with js, but why installer-paths won't works?

[stof]

installer-paths is a setting used by the composer/installers plugin. So it is used only when the package type is one of the types handled by the plugin. the default type package is not

[Seldaek]

Because it's specific to composer/installers, and it doesn't handle
packages of the default type, so it doesn't apply this.
