Install composer

Global installation ----------------This way composer is installed under /opt/composer, the binary is symlinked into /usr/local/bin. :: include_recipe "composer"

Local installation ----------------To install composer locally for just a project you can use the LWRP as below. :: composer "/var/www/domain/htdocs" do global false action :install end

This command will download composer to the htdocs directory /var/www/domain/htdocs/composer.phar.

Update installation ----------------Just pass the path to the composer installation to the LWRP and call the update action. :: composer "/var/www/domain/htdocs" do action :update end

Manage composer packages from Packagist with existing composer.json configuration file ================

Install packages

From existing /var/www/domain/htdocs/composer.json file with option --dev set. :: composer_package "/var/www/domain/htdocs" do action :install dev true end

Update packages

This will update all configured packages from composer.json. :: composer_package "/var/www/domain/htdocs" do action :update end

Install packages without exiting composer.json file ================

Create a new project ----------------You can use Composer to create new projects from an existing package. This is the equivalent of doing a git clone/svn checkout followed by a composer install of the vendors.

The directory is not allowed to exist, it will be created during installation. :: composer_package "typo3/neos-base-distribution" do action :create_project install_path "/var/www/neos end

Install packages with custom configuration ----------------You can simply use the create action to build a new composer.json file from template and define which packages you would like to install. :: composer_package "Install PHP tools for development" do action [:create, :update] install_path "/opt/composer-libaries" packages ({"phpunit/phpunit" => "3.7.", "phing/phing" => "2.4."}) config ({"bin-dir" => "/usr/local/bin"}) end

Update autoload.php ============= If you need to update the autoloader because of new classes in a classmap package for example, you can use "dump-autoload" to do that without having to go through an install or update.

Additionally, it can dump an optimized autoloader that converts PSR-0 packages into classmap ones for performance reasons. In large applications with many classes, the autoloader can take up a substantial portion of every request's time. Using classmaps for everything is less convenient in development, but using this option you can still use PSR-0 for convenience and classmaps for performance. :: composer_package "/opt/composer-libaries" do action :dump_autoload optimize true end

The composer cookbook in action ============= This cookbook is used to manage the PHP development dependencies easily for PylonWorks.Essencebase sandbox environment.
