composer-file-installer

Install files in a project as part of a composer install or composer update. Uses the youwe/file-mapping package for moving files according to a source -> destination mapping. The Composer IOInterface supplies the file installer with the capability to write the files and supply end-users with output messages.

Usage

Create a mapping config file according to the youwe/file-mapping documentation.

file1.php
file2.php:force-overwrite
{dot,.}gitignore:merge-line-by-line

Available options

Option	Explanation
merge-line-by-line	Performs a line-by-line merge. Every line from the source that doesn't exist in the destination yet will be copied over. Comments will be ignored (will not be copied again). The destination file will be created if it doesn't exist yet. This is particularly useful for .gitignore files.
force-overwrite	Forces an overwrite, even if the file already exists on the destination.
(no option given)	The file will be copied over if it didn't exist yet and will be left untouched otherwise.

Code example

<?php

use Youwe\FileMapping\UnixFileMappingReader;
use Youwe\Composer\FileInstaller;

// Create a file mapping.
$mappingFilePaths = new UnixFileMapping(
     __DIR__ . '/../folder/files',
     getcwd(),
     './path/to/mapping-config'
);

// Get a file mapping reader.
$reader = new UnixFileMappingReader($sourceDirectory, $targetDirectory, $mappingFilePaths);

// Get an installer, supply with the file mapping reader.
$installer = new FileInstaller($reader);

// Install according to mapping, supply with Composer IOInterface.
$installer->install($io);
