## What does defining a bin in composer.json do?
@ -44,29 +44,36 @@ symlink is created from each dependency's bins to `vendor/bin`.
Say package `my-vendor/project-a` has bins setup like this:
~~~json
```json
{
"name": "my-vendor/project-a",
"bin": ["bin/project-a-bin"]
}
~~~
```
Running `composer install` for this `composer.json` will not do
anything with `bin/project-a-bin`.
Say project `my-vendor/project-b` has requirements setup like this:
~~~json
```json
{
"name": "my-vendor/project-b",
"requires": {
"my-vendor/project-a": "*"
}
}
~~~
```
Running `composer install` for this `composer.json` will look at
all of project-b's dependencies and install them to `vendor/bin`.
In this case, Composer will create a symlink from
`vendor/my-vendor/project-a/bin/project-a-bin` to `vendor/bin/project-a-bin`.
`vendor/my-vendor/project-a/bin/project-a-bin` to `vendor/bin/project-a-bin`.
## What about Windows and .bat files?
Composer will automatically create `.bat` files for bins installed in a
Windows environment. Package maintainers should not list self managed
`.bat` files as bins.
