A composer plugin, to install differenty types of composer packages in custom directories outside the default composer default installation path which is in the vendor folder.

Installation

• Include the composer plugin into your composer.json require section::

  "require":{
    "php": ">=5.3",
    "mnsami/composer-custom-directory-installer": "1.0.*",
    "monolog/monolog": "*"
  }

• In the extra section define the custom directory you want to the package to be installed in::

  "extra":{
    "installer-paths":{
      "./monolog/": ["monolog/monolog"]
    }

by adding the installer-paths part, you are telling composer to install the monolog package inside the monolog folder in your root directory.
