Adding Composer dependency management to WP CLI.

Sean Fisher

<p>Adding Composer dependency management to WP CLI. Allows you to recursivly install/update composer packages inside of all of your WordPress plugins and themes.</p>
<h3>What is this using?</h3>
<p>This package uses a great piece of software called <a href="http://wp-cli.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">WP-CLI</a>. It provides a command line interface for WordPress management. We are a plugin providing Composer management inside of WP CLI.</p>
<h3>What’s Composer?</h3>
<p>It’s the greatest thing to happen to the web since GIFs, Drop Shadows and dancing cats. Composer is a dead simple JSON-based dependency manager for PHP. For more information, check out <a href="http://getcomposer.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">http://getcomposer.org/</a>.</p>
<h3>So this is complete Composer support?</h3>
<p>No, not exactly! Sadly, I’m building this out and I’m trying to make some sweet WP-CLI and Composer integration. But for now, we only support a few command:</p>
<ul>
<li>install</li>
<li>update</li>
<li>diagnose</li>
<li>help</li>
<li>status</li>
</ul>
<p>If you’d love to help out, please help! Make a pull request and let’s get coding!</p>
<h3>How do I build Composer Management inside of my plugin?</h3>
<p>Simple really! You just create a simple <code>composer.json</code> file like you would with any Composer project. From there, wp-composer will interface with each plugin/theme that has composer support and it will generate the autoload files, too!</p>
<p>Just include something like this inside your main plugin file:</p>
<pre><code>require(__DIR__.'/vendor/autoload.php');
</code></pre>
<p>It’s that simple.</p>
