ComposerWordPress Plugin

This is a Composer plugin that copies packages (in our case WordPress plugins, mu-plugins and themes) from a specified source path to a specified destination path, as defined in the composer.json file.

Installation

You can install this plugin by doing the following:

1. Setup in the composer.json file of your project

Add the following configuration to your composer.json file:

{
   "extra": {
        "wordpress-install-dir": "public/",
        "composer-custom-install-path-src": "bin/composer_wordpress_vendor/wp-content",
        "composer-custom-install-path-dest": "public/wp-content",
        "installer-paths": {
            "bin/composer_wordpress_vendor/wp-content/plugins/{$name}/": [
                "type:wordpress-plugin"
            ],
            "bin/composer_wordpress_vendor/wp-content/mu-plugins/{$name}/": [
                "type:wordpress-muplugin"
            ],
            "bin/composer_wordpress_vendor/wp-content/themes/{$name}/": [
                "type:wordpress-theme"
            ]
        }
    }
}

The wordpress-install-dir key defines the path to the WordPress installation directory which is installed using John Bloch's WordPress package.

the installer-paths key defines the paths to the WordPress packages to be copied. We're copying the WordPress packages to the bin/composer_wordpress_vendor/wp-content directory.

The composer-custom-install-path-src key defines the path to the source directory containing WordPress packages to be copied, and the composer-custom-install-path-dest key defines the path to the destination directory where the packages will be copied.

The plugin will automatically run during the post-install-cmd and post-update-cmd events, and will copy the WordPress packages from the source path to the destination path.

2. Run the following command to install the plugin:

composer require convertiv/composer-wordpress

Composer installer will ask whether you trust the plugin:

Do you trust "convertiv/composer-wordpress" to execute code and wish to enable it now? (writes "allow-plugins" to composer.json) [y,n,d,?]

Type y to allow the plugin to be used.

After this setup is done, the plugin will be used to copy WordPress packages from the source path to the destination path during composer install and composer update.

4. Add the folder path used in composer-custom-install-path-src to your .gitignore file

If you used bin/composer_wordpress_vendor/wp-content as the path, add the following to your .gitignore file:

bin/composer_wordpress_vendor
