CakePHP Composer Plugin
=======================

[Composer](http://getcomposer.org/) is a tool for dependency management in PHP. It allows you to declare the dependent libraries your project needs and it will install them in your project for you.

This is a CakePHP plugin to use Composer conveniently with your CakePHP project.

There is no need to pre-install Composer.
This plugin will automatically download the latest version if Composer is not installed at your system.

Requirements
---------
CakePHP v2.x

How to use
----------
1. Download the plugin and place it at `APP/Plugin/Composer`.

```bash
cd APP/Plugin
git clone git://github.com/uzyn/cakephp-composer.git Composer
```

2. Load the plugin by adding this line to the bottom of your app's `Config/bootstrap.php`:

```php
true));
```

3. That's all! Composer is ready for use.

`composer.json` is located at `APP/composer.json`. It is automatically created if it is not found.
Packages are installed to `APP/Vendor` as per CakePHP convention.
Invoke Composer from command line with `Console/cake composer.c`.

For example, to install [opauth/opauth](http://packagist.org/packages/opauth/opauth) using Composer's `require` command.
```bash
cd APP
Console/cake composer.c require opauth/opauth:0.*
```

To install packages defined at `composer.json`
```bash
Console/cake composer.c install
```

4. This plugin also makes use of Composer's autoloader.
Start using a Composer-loaded classes right away without needing `require()`, `include()` or `App::import()`.

For example, to instantiate a new Opauth object, simply instantiate Opauth from anywhere in your CakePHP application:
