如何通过Composer从供应商/软件包中仅安装一个目录？ 还是在安装后删除目录？

Question

Sorry my english isn't too good. So I have a problem with the composer. It is that I can select which directory I would like to install from a package, or after installation delete them. For example: "yiisoft/yii" this is the vendor/package. But I would like to install only the "yiisoft/yii/framework" directory. I don't like to keep the other directories. I still find what will be the best solution for my problem.

Answer 1

You shouldn't mess with the vendor directory. There are good reason to keep it all together in vendors . If you really need to have certain files available from another path, use symlinks.

For more information about this topic read this authoritative blog post about the Composer Vendor Directory by Igor Wiedler.

Alternatively you could copy the content somewhere else (and/or delete) with phing.

Answer 2

When you install a software with composer, you install all the repository. If you want to delete unused folder, you can use a particular feature of composer. You can catch some events like post-install-cmd or post-update-cmd in this way:

{
    "scripts": {
        "post-install-cmd": "Sensorario\\Communityii\\ComposerCommands::postInstall",
        "post-update-cmd": "Sensorario\\Communityii\\ComposerCommands::postUpdate"
    }
}

In the root folder of your project you have composer.json, you will also need to add a file in PSR-0 standard: - composer.json - src/Sensorario/Communityii/ComposerCommands.php

And this file can be like this:

namespace Sensorario\\Communityii;

class ComposerCommands
{
    public static function postUpdate()
    {
        // remove unused folders
        shell_exec('rm vendor/yiisoft/yii/demos/ ... ');
    }
}

This code will run after

$ composer update
