composer for pimcore

Integrates the composer autoloader into pimcore. After installing, you can manage libraries with composer and use them with your pimcore installation.

Installation

1. Install the plugin
2. Follow the composer/composer installation instructions to install libraries into /vendor
3. Develop using the newly installed libraries
4. If you are using a SCM system (e.g. git, svn) on your project you'll probably want to ignore/exclude the /vendor directory

Example

We want to use Symfony's console component. First, create a composer.json file specifying the dependency.

{
    "require": {
        "symfony/console": "*"
    }
}

Install composer if you don't have done so yet.

$ curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

Use composer to install the needed component(s) into /vendor and create an autoloader file we can use later.

$ php composer.phar install

Use the library in your project.

<?php
class ExampleCommand extends Symfony\Component\Console\Command\Command
{
    // do fancy stuff here
}
