Usage

composer require --dev phpstan/extension-installer

Starting from Composer 2.2.0 you'll get the following question:

phpstan/extension-installer contains a Composer plugin which is currently not in your allow-plugins config. See https://getcomposer.org/allow-plugins
Do you trust "phpstan/extension-installer" to execute code and wish to enable it now? (writes "allow-plugins" to composer.json) [y,n,d,?]

Answer with y to allow the plugin.

Instructions for extension developers

It's best (but optional) to set the extension's composer package type to phpstan-extension for this plugin to be able to recognize it and to be discoverable on Packagist.

Add phpstan key in the extension composer.json's extra section:

{
  "extra": {
    "phpstan": {
      "includes": [
        "extension.neon"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Ignoring a particular extension

You may want to disable auto-installation of a particular extension to handle installation manually. Ignore an extension by adding an extra.phpstan/extension-installer.ignore array in composer.json that specifies a list of packages to ignore:

{
  "extra": {
    "phpstan/extension-installer": {
      "ignore": [
        "phpstan/phpstan-phpunit"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Limitations

The extension installer depends on Composer script events, therefore you cannot use --no-scripts flag.
