# Scripts
## What is a script?
A script, in Composer's terms, can either be a PHP callback (defined as a
static method) or any command-line executable command. Scripts are useful
for executing a package's custom code or package-specific commands during
the Composer execution process.
> **Note:** Only scripts defined in the root package's `composer.json` are
> executed. If a dependency of the root package specifies its own scripts,
> Composer does not execute those additional scripts.
## Event names
Composer fires the following named events during its execution process:
### Command Events
- **pre-install-cmd**: occurs before the `install` command is executed.
- **post-install-cmd**: occurs after the `install` command is executed.
- **pre-update-cmd**: occurs before the `update` command is executed.
- **post-update-cmd**: occurs after the `update` command is executed.
- **pre-status-cmd**: occurs before the `status` command is executed.
- **post-status-cmd**: occurs after the `status` command is executed.
- **pre-archive-cmd**: occurs before the `archive` command is executed.
- **post-archive-cmd**: occurs after the `archive` command is executed.
- **pre-autoload-dump**: occurs before the autoloader is dumped, either
during `install`/`update`, or via the `dump-autoload` command.
- **post-autoload-dump**: occurs after the autoloader is dumped, either
during `install`/`update`, or via the `dump-autoload` command.
- **post-root-package-install**: occurs after the root package has been
installed, during the `create-project` command.
- **post-create-project-cmd**: occurs after the `create-project` command is
executed.
### Installer Events
- **pre-dependencies-solving**: occurs before the dependencies are resolved.
- **post-dependencies-solving**: occurs after the dependencies are resolved.
### Package Events
- **pre-package-install**: occurs before a package is installed.
- **post-package-install**: occurs after a package is installed.
- **pre-package-update**: occurs before a package is updated.
- **post-package-update**: occurs after a package is updated.
- **pre-package-uninstall**: occurs before a package has been uninstalled.
- **post-package-uninstall**: occurs after a package has been uninstalled.
### Plugin Events
- **command**: occurs before any Composer Command is executed on the CLI. It
provides you with access to the input and output objects of the program.
- **pre-file-download**: occurs before files are downloaded and allows
you to manipulate the `RemoteFilesystem` object prior to downloading files
based on the URL to be downloaded.
> **Note:** Composer makes no assumptions about the state of your dependencies
> prior to `install` or `update`. Therefore, you should not specify scripts
> that require Composer-managed dependencies in the `pre-update-cmd` or
> `pre-install-cmd` event hooks. If you need to execute scripts prior to
> `install` or `update` please make sure they are self-contained within your
> root package.
## Defining scripts
The root JSON object in `composer.json` should have a property called
`"scripts"`, which contains pairs of named events and each event's
corresponding scripts. An event's scripts can be defined as either as a string
(only for a single script) or an array (for single or multiple scripts.)
For any given event:
- Scripts execute in the order defined when their corresponding event is fired.
- An array of scripts wired to a single event can contain both PHP callbacks
and command-line executable commands.
- PHP classes containing defined callbacks must be autoloadable via Composer's
autoload functionality.
Script definition example:
```json
{
"scripts": {
"post-update-cmd": "MyVendor\\MyClass::postUpdate",
"post-package-install": [
"MyVendor\\MyClass::postPackageInstall"
],
"post-install-cmd": [
"MyVendor\\MyClass::warmCache",
"phpunit -c app/"
],
"post-create-project-cmd" : [
"php -r \"copy('config/local-example.php', 'config/local.php');\""
]
}
}
```
Using the previous definition example, here's the class `MyVendor\MyClass`
that might be used to execute the PHP callbacks:
```php
<?php
namespace MyVendor;
use Composer\Script\Event;
use Composer\Installer\PackageEvent;
class MyClass
{
public static function postUpdate(Event $event)
{
$composer = $event->getComposer();
// do stuff
}
public static function postPackageInstall(PackageEvent $event)
{
$installedPackage = $event->getOperation()->getPackage();
// do stuff
}
public static function warmCache(Event $event)
{
// make cache toasty
}
}
```
When an event is fired, your PHP callback receives as first argument an
`Composer\EventDispatcher\Event` object. This object has a `getName()` method
that lets you retrieve event name.
Depending on the script types (see list above) you will get various event
subclasses containing various getters with relevant data and associated
objects:
- Base class: [`Composer\EventDispatcher\Event`](https://getcomposer.org/apidoc/master/Composer/EventDispatcher/Event.html)
- Command Events: [`Composer\Script\Event`](https://getcomposer.org/apidoc/master/Composer/Script/Event.html)
- Installer Events: [`Composer\Installer\InstallerEvent`](https://getcomposer.org/apidoc/master/Composer/Installer/InstallerEvent.html)
- Package Events: [`Composer\Installer\PackageEvent`](https://getcomposer.org/apidoc/master/Composer/Installer/PackageEvent.html)
- Plugin Events:
- command: [`Composer\Plugin\CommandEvent`](https://getcomposer.org/apidoc/master/Composer/Plugin/CommandEvent.html)
- pre-file-download: [`Composer\Plugin\PreFileDownloadEvent`](https://getcomposer.org/apidoc/master/Composer/Plugin/PreFileDownloadEvent.html)
## Running scripts manually
If you would like to run the scripts for an event manually, the syntax is:
```sh
composer run-script [--dev] [--no-dev] script
```
For example `composer run-script post-install-cmd` will run any
**post-install-cmd** scripts that have been defined.
You can also give additional arguments to the script handler by appending `--`
followed by the handler arguments. e.g.
`composer run-script post-install-cmd -- --check` will pass`--check` along to
the script handler. Those arguments are received as CLI arg by CLI handlers,
and can be retrieved as an array via `$event->getArguments()` by PHP handlers.
## Writing custom commands
If you add custom scripts that do not fit one of the predefined event name
above, you can either run them with run-script or also run them as native
Composer commands. For example the handler defined below is executable by
simply running `composer test`:
```json
{
"scripts": {
"test": "phpunit"
}
}
```
> **Note:** Composer's bin-dir is pushed on top of the PATH so that binaries
> of dependencies are easily accessible as CLI commands when writing scripts.
