Composer – PHP Dependency Manager
Lab: Local Development Environment Setup for Mac
Video Runtime: 10:49
Recorded: February 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 this episode, you and I will walk through installing Composer. Plus, I’ll show you an example way to configure it in a composer.json
file.
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
Hands off the keyboard. Web development starts by thinking first, then planning it out, and then coding it.
