# Composer Dev-Symlink

This plugin aims to assist when working on local composer packages without using a "path" repository, because that will break the composer.lock file. The goal was to simulate the basic behaviour of "npm link" to create symlinks and have the local packages in deployment in a single directory.

## Installation

Simply install this plugin by using composer:

```

composer require labor-digital/composer-dev-symlink

```

If you want to install the plugin globally instead, feel free to do so by using:

```

composer global require labor-digital/composer-dev-symlink

```

## Configuration

By default the plugin will look for packages to link in the directory: `$CWD/vendor-dev/`. However, if that does not fit your needs you can always change the directory by setting it in your project's composer.json:

```json

{

	"extra": {

		"composer-dev-symlink": "./my-dev/*"

	}

}

```

## To keep in mind

* This plugin is installed globally in our [php dev images](https://github.com/labor-digital/docker-base-images)

* There are plenty of other plugins that aim to do the same stuff, but did not work as globally installed plugin or broke the composer.lock file.
