# Config
This chapter will describe the `config` section of the `composer.json` schema.
## config <span>([root-only](04-schema.md#root-package))</span>
2015-06-22 08:00:04 +00:00
A set of configuration options. It is only used for projects.
## Properties
2015-06-22 08:00:04 +00:00
### process-timeout
2015-06-22 08:00:04 +00:00
2015-06-22 08:54:55 +00:00
Defaults to `300`. The duration processes like git clones can run before
Composer assumes they died out. You may need to make this higher if you have a
slow connection or huge vendors.
2015-06-22 08:00:04 +00:00
### use-include-path
2015-06-22 08:00:04 +00:00
Defaults to `false`. If `true`, the Composer autoloader will also look for classes
2015-06-22 08:54:55 +00:00
in the PHP include path.
2015-06-22 08:00:04 +00:00
### preferred-install
2015-06-22 08:00:04 +00:00
2015-06-22 08:54:55 +00:00
Defaults to `auto` and can be any of `source`, `dist` or `auto`. This option
allows you to set the install method Composer will prefer to use.
2015-06-22 08:00:04 +00:00
### store-auths
2015-06-22 08:00:04 +00:00
2015-06-22 08:54:55 +00:00
What to do after prompting for authentication, one of: `true` (always store),
`false` (do not store) and `"prompt"` (ask every time), defaults to `"prompt"`.
2015-06-22 08:00:04 +00:00
### github-protocols
2015-06-22 08:00:04 +00:00
2015-06-22 08:54:55 +00:00
Defaults to `["git", "https", "ssh"]`. A list of protocols to use when cloning
from github.com, in priority order. You can reconfigure it to for example
prioritize the https protocol if you are behind a proxy or have somehow bad
performances with the git protocol.
2015-06-22 08:00:04 +00:00
### github-oauth
2015-06-22 08:00:04 +00:00
2015-06-22 08:54:55 +00:00
A list of domain names and oauth keys. For example using `{"github.com":
"oauthtoken"}` as the value of this option will use `oauthtoken` to access
private repositories on github and to circumvent the low IP-based rate limiting
of their API. [Read
more](articles/troubleshooting.md#api-rate-limit-and-oauth-tokens) on how to get
an OAuth token for GitHub.
2015-06-22 08:00:04 +00:00
### http-basic
2015-06-22 08:00:04 +00:00
2015-06-22 08:54:55 +00:00
A list of domain names and username/passwords to authenticate against them. For
example using `{"example.org": {"username": "alice", "password": "foo"}` as the
value of this option will let Composer authenticate against example.org.
2015-06-22 08:00:04 +00:00
### platform
2015-06-22 08:00:04 +00:00
2015-06-22 08:54:55 +00:00
Lets you fake platform packages (PHP and extensions) so that you can emulate a
production env or define your target platform in the config. Example: `{"php":
2015-06-22 08:54:55 +00:00
"5.4", "ext-something": "4.0"}`.
2015-06-22 08:00:04 +00:00
### vendor-dir
2015-06-22 08:00:04 +00:00
2015-06-22 08:54:55 +00:00
Defaults to `vendor`. You can install dependencies into a different directory if
you want to. `$HOME` and `~` will be replaced by your home directory's path in
vendor-dir and all `*-dir` options below.
2015-06-22 08:00:04 +00:00
### bin-dir
2015-06-22 08:00:04 +00:00
2015-06-22 08:54:55 +00:00
Defaults to `vendor/bin`. If a project includes binaries, they will be symlinked
into this directory.
2015-06-22 08:00:04 +00:00
### cache-dir
2015-06-22 08:54:55 +00:00
Defaults to `$COMPOSER_HOME/cache` on unix systems and
`C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Composer` on Windows. Stores all the caches used
by Composer. See also [COMPOSER_HOME](03-cli.md#composer-home).
### cache-files-dir
Defaults to `$cache-dir/files`. Stores the zip archives of packages.
### cache-repo-dir
2015-06-22 08:54:55 +00:00
Defaults to `$cache-dir/repo`. Stores repository metadata for the `composer`
type and the VCS repos of type `svn`, `github` and `bitbucket`.
### cache-vcs-dir
2015-06-22 08:00:04 +00:00
2015-06-22 08:54:55 +00:00
Defaults to `$cache-dir/vcs`. Stores VCS clones for loading VCS repository
metadata for the `git`/`hg` types and to speed up installs.
2015-06-22 08:00:04 +00:00
### cache-files-ttl
2015-06-22 08:00:04 +00:00
2015-06-22 08:54:55 +00:00
Defaults to `15552000` (6 months). Composer caches all dist (zip, tar, ..)
packages that it downloads. Those are purged after six months of being unused by
default. This option allows you to tweak this duration (in seconds) or disable
it completely by setting it to 0.
2015-06-22 08:00:04 +00:00
### cache-files-maxsize
2015-06-22 08:00:04 +00:00
2015-06-22 08:54:55 +00:00
Defaults to `300MiB`. Composer caches all dist (zip, tar, ..) packages that it
downloads. When the garbage collection is periodically ran, this is the maximum
size the cache will be able to use. Older (less used) files will be removed
first until the cache fits.
2015-06-22 08:00:04 +00:00
### prepend-autoloader
2015-06-22 08:00:04 +00:00
Defaults to `true`. If false, the Composer autoloader will not be prepended to
2015-06-22 08:54:55 +00:00
existing autoloaders. This is sometimes required to fix interoperability issues
with other autoloaders.
2015-06-22 08:00:04 +00:00
### autoloader-suffix
2015-06-22 08:00:04 +00:00
2015-06-22 08:54:55 +00:00
Defaults to `null`. String to be used as a suffix for the generated Composer
autoloader. When null a random one will be generated.
2015-06-22 08:00:04 +00:00
### optimize-autoloader
2015-06-22 08:54:55 +00:00
Defaults to `false`. Always optimize when dumping the autoloader.
### classmap-authoritative
Defaults to `false`. If `true`, the Composer autoloader will not scan the
2015-06-22 08:54:55 +00:00
filesystem for classes that are not found in the class map. Implies
'optimize-autoloader'.
### github-domains
2015-06-22 08:54:55 +00:00
Defaults to `["github.com"]`. A list of domains to use in github mode. This is
used for GitHub Enterprise setups.
### github-expose-hostname
Defaults to `true`. If set to `false`, the OAuth tokens created to access the
2015-06-22 08:54:55 +00:00
github API will have a date instead of the machine hostname.
### notify-on-install
2015-06-22 08:54:55 +00:00
Defaults to `true`. Composer allows repositories to define a notification URL,
so that they get notified whenever a package from that repository is installed.
This option allows you to disable that behaviour.
### discard-changes
2015-06-22 08:54:55 +00:00
Defaults to `false` and can be any of `true`, `false` or `"stash"`. This option
allows you to set the default style of handling dirty updates when in
non-interactive mode. `true` will always discard changes in vendors, while
`"stash"` will try to stash and reapply. Use this for CI servers or deploy
scripts if you tend to have modified vendors.
### archive-format
2015-06-22 08:54:55 +00:00
Defaults to `tar`. Composer allows you to add a default archive format when the
workflow needs to create a dedicated archiving format.
### archive-dir
2015-06-22 08:54:55 +00:00
Defaults to `.`. Composer allows you to add a default archive directory when the
workflow needs to create a dedicated archiving format. Or for easier development
between modules.
Example:
2015-06-22 08:00:04 +00:00
```json
{
"config": {
"bin-dir": "bin"
}
2015-06-22 08:00:04 +00:00
}
```
> **Note:** Authentication-related config options like `http-basic` and
> `github-oauth` can also be specified inside a `auth.json` file that goes
> besides your `composer.json`. That way you can gitignore it and every
> developer can place their own credentials in there.
