Extra-Flex for Symfony

Extra-Flex is a composer plugin for Symfony Flex.

Extra-Flex allows to keep recipe for composer package together in the same repository with a package itself.

Extra-Flex allows to install recipe on require command and uninstall on remove command. Also recipe could be applied on demand without requiring a package with additional apply command.

To enable Extra-Flex run composer require covex-nn/extra-flex after composer create-project symfony/skeleton

To include recipe into a package, add extra data to composer.json:

{
    "extra": {
        "recipe-dir": ".flex"     
    }
}

Example

Require covex-nn/extra-flex-foobar and apply recipe immediately:

composer create-project symfony/skeleton .
composer require covex-nn/extra-flex
composer require covex-nn/extra-flex-foobar
composer remove covex-nn/extra-flex-foobar

Apply recipe from covex-nn/extra-flex-foobar without require package:

composer create-project symfony/skeleton .
composer require covex-nn/extra-flex
composer apply covex-nn/extra-flex-foobar 1.0.2
cat composer.json

See composer.json from covex-nn/extra-flex-foobar for details.
