Packagist Reviews

Packagist Description

Packagist is the main repository for composers. It aggregates public PHP package installable with Composer. Your project's root directory should contain a file called composer.json, which contains your project dependencies. Packagist is Composer's default package repository. It allows you to find packages and allows Composer to know where the code is. Composer can be used to manage dependencies for your library or project. First, choose a package name. This is an important step because it cannot be changed and should be unique enough so that there are no conflicts in the future. A package name is composed of a vendor name and project name, joined by a/. To prevent conflicts in naming, the vendor name is necessary. The composer.json file should be located at the top of your package’s git/svn/ directory. It is how you describe your package to composer and packagist. The VCS repository contains tags that you create to automatically fetch new versions of your package.
