composer - Dependency Manager for PHP

Author:Dimitrios Tydeas Mengidis

Synopsis

New in version 1.6.

Composer is a tool for dependency management in PHP. It allows you to declare the dependent libraries your project needs and it will install them in your project for you

Options

parameter	required	default	choices	comments
no_dev	no	yes	yes no	Disables installation of require-dev packages ( see --no-dev )
no_plugins	no	no	yes no	Disables all plugins ( see --no-plugins )
no_scripts	no	no	yes no	Skips the execution of all scripts defined in composer.json ( see --no-scripts )
optimize_autoloader	no	yes	yes no	Optimize autoloader during autoloader dump ( see --optimize-autoloader ). Convert PSR-0/4 autoloading to classmap to get a faster autoloader. This is recommended especially for production, but can take a bit of time to run so it is currently not done by default.

prefer_source	no	no	yes no	Forces installation from package sources when possible ( see --prefer-source )
working_dir	yes			Directory of your project ( see --working-dir )
