Requirements

OS:

• Linux
• MacOS

libs:

• curl

For install the packages jq and curl

# Linux
sudo apt install jq curl

# MacOS

Installation

To install composer-local and composer-dev, you should run the install script. To do that, you may either download and run the script manually, or use the following cURL command:

curl -s -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ibec-box/composer-dev/main/install.sh | sudo bash

Usage composer-local command

Inside the project where the composer.json file exists, use the composer-local command instead of composer. Examples:

composer-local install
composer-local update
composer-local dump-autoload

# ... and other composer commands

These commands copy your composer.json file in composer.local.json, with the addition of the "repositories" key, where the path to the folder with composer packages is specified.

And local packages should be installed in the PROJECT folder:

./composer-packages/{username}/{package-name}

I recommend adding working files to your .gitignore file

echo composer-packages >> .gitignore
echo composer.local.json >> .gitignore
echo composer.local.lock >> .gitignore

Usage composer-dev

Also, you may use command composer-dev,

composer-dev install
composer-dev update
composer-dev dump-autoload

# ... and other composer commands

This command working like composer-local. But packages should be installed in the $HOME folder:

~/composer-packages/{username}/{package-name}

I recommend adding working files to your .gitignore file

echo composer.dev.json >> .gitignore
echo composer.dev.lock >> .gitignore

For only one local project

If you want to use this script for only one local project, you can download the script to your project using the command:

curl -s -o composer-local https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ibec-box/composer-dev/main/composer-local.sh
chmod +x composer-local

Then use the command in the project directory ./composer-local {option}
