Composer – PHP Dependency Manager
Lab: Local Development Environment Setup for Windows
Video Runtime: 14:16
Recorded: March 27, 2018
Composer is our dependency manager for PHP. It gives a standardized and globally accepted tool to import different packages into our projects as well as run different tasks.
In order to globally install it on a Windows machine, you need to install PHP and Visual C++
Redistributable. Don’t worry. I’ll walk you through the entire process.
Helpful Commands
A few helpful commands for you:
composer -h – view the help information
composer -V – view the version that is installed on your machine
composer [script name] – to run a script that is defined in your project’s composer.json file
Your functions are bloated. Put them on a diet. Think "skinny" and "as few lines as possible."
