# composer-link
[](https://codeclimate.com/github/SanderSander/composer-link/test_coverage)
[](https://codeclimate.com/github/SanderSander/composer-link/maintainability)
Adds ability to link local packages in composer for development.
This plugin won't alter your `composer.json` or `composer.lock` file,
while maintaining the composer abilities to manage/upgrade your packages.
## Requirements
- PHP >= 8.0
- Composer >= 2.2
## Installation
This plugin can be installed globally or per project
Globally
```
composer global require sandersander/composer-link
```
Per project:
```
composer require --dev sandersander/composer-link
```
## Usage
The following three commands are made available by this plugin `link`, `unlink` and `linked`.
When the plugin is installed globally you can prefix the commands with `global` as example `composer global linked`
and install global packages.
To link a package you can use the `link` commands, you can also link a global package.
When linked to a global package absolute paths are used, when using a relative path composer-link resolves
it to the absolute path.
```
composer link ../path/to/package
composer global link ../path/to/package
```
It's also possible to use a wildcard in your path, note that this will install all packages found in the directory `../packages`
If you don't want to link all the packages but only the ones originally installed you can pass the `--only-installed` flag.
```
composer link ../packages/*
composer link ../packages/* --only-installed
```
To unlink the package you can use the `unlink` command
```
composer unlink ../path/to/package
composer unlink ../packages/*
composer global unlink ../path/to/package
```
To see all linked packages in your project you can use the `linked` command
```
composer linked
composer global linked
```
