Installation

The following installation commands includes schedulding a queuedjob to populate the data. Run the following command to install this package as a development dependency:

composer require bringyourownideas/silverstripe-composer-security-checker 2.x-dev

vendor/bin/sake dev/build
vendor/bin/sake dev/tasks/ProcessJobQueueTask

Usage

The information gets updated via a BuildTask, which in turn can be run via a queuedjob. You will need to set up a scheduled process (e.g. cron) to run either the buildtask directly, or the task to process the queuedjobs queue in order to refresh the information.
