Library for run composer in runtime without worrying about where it is installed

Installation

The preferred way to install this extension is through composer.

Either run

php composer.phar require --prefer-dist johnitvn/composer-runtime "*"

or add

"johnitvn/composer-runtime": "*"

to the require section of your composer.json file.

Usage

$process = new ComposerProcess('path\to\working_dir');
$process->runDisplayOutput('install');

The defaut composer and composer.phar will searched in local working directory or in system enviroment path. Process will throw ComposerNotInstalledException if composer not found. You can custom composer command if you installed compsoer but not set it in system enviroment

$process = new ComposerProcess('path\to\working_dir');
$process->setCommand('php /path/to/composer.phar');
$process->runDisplayOutput('install');

You have 3 options for run composer command

// Run command whithout any output
process->run($params) 
// Run command and capture output to output reference variable
process->runCapture($params, array &$output) 
// Run command and display output directly
process->runDisplayOutput($params) 

You can see cli-runtime for more detail.

If you want to run composer command with multiple parameters. Let call run method with array. Example

process->run(['install','-v']) 
process->runCapture(['install','-v'],$output)
$process->runDisplayOutput(['install','-v']);
