You can use Composer to create new projects from an existing package.
|
|
|
|
|
There are several applications for this:

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. You can deploy application packages.
|
|
|
|
|
2. You can check out any package and start developing on patches for example.
|
|
|
|
|
3. Projects with multiple developers can use this feature to bootstrap the initial application for development.

To create a new project using composer you can use the "create-project",
|
|
|
|
|
pass it a package name + version and a directory to create the project in.
|
|
|
|
|
The directory is not allowed to exist, it will be created during installation.

By default the command checks for the packages on packagist.org. To change this behavior
|
|
|
|
|
you can use the --repository-url parameter and either point it to an HTTP url
|
|
|
|
|
for your own packagist repository or to a packages.json file.

If you want to get a development version of the code directly checked out
|
|
|
|
|
from version control you have to add the --prefer-source parameter.
