Laravel: Different composer.json files for dev and production

Question

I need to have 2 different composer.json files for dev and production because I am developing vendor packages (locally) and would like to keep my vendor packages symlinked on dev environment because it's much easier to maintain.

The composer.json files contain:

• For development, it has symlinked repositories by path.
• For production, it has private repositories on github.

NOTE : The vendor packages are in require , and not require-dev ... So an composer update --no-dev will not work.

How could I set this up?

Usually, the .env file is where you set different environment variables. Is there a way to set a COMPOSER_PATH variable that would point to the 2 different files on prod or dev?

Answer 1

您可以使用环境变量来拥有一个以上的composer文件，例如composer.json和composer-testing.json ，并在终端中使用以下文件：

COMPOSER=composer-testing.json php composer.phar install
