Composer Checker

A simple tool for various composer related checks and validations., _(*2)

Usage

$ php bin/composer-checker

Available commands:
  help         Displays help for a command
  list         Lists commands
check
  check:dist   Matching the dist urls in a composer.lock file against some patterns.
  check:src    Matching the src urls in a composer.lock file against some patterns.
remove
  remove:dist   Removing dist urls from a composer.lock file.
  remove:src    Removing src urls from a composer.lock file.

Check: Dist-Urls

This check is intended to validate the dist-urls in a composer.lock file. When using a Satis Mirror for your packages, it might break your ci/deployment when external dist-urls are used in your composer.lock file., _(*3)

Simply run this command to check against the url "satis.example.com":, _(*4)

$ php bin/composer-checker check:dist -p "satis.example.com" composer.lock
 --- Invalid urls found ---
+-----------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Package         | Dist-URL                                                                                      |

+-----------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

The output gives a hint, which packages do not comply with the given url pattern, which is basically just a regex. A positive example with a more complex regex:, _(*5)

$ php bin/composer-checker check:dist -p "^https://api.github.com/repos/(.+)/(.+)/zipball/([a-f0-9]+)$" composer.lock
All urls valid.

It is also possible to enforce to use only "https" dist-urls with a pattern like this:, _(*6)

$ php bin/composer-checker check:dist -p "^https://" composer.lock

Allowing empty or missing dist urls can be done with the --allow-empty switch., _(*7)

Check: Source-Urls

Parallel to the dist urls, the source urls can be checked too., _(*8)

$ php bin/composer-checker check:src -p "git@git.example.com/foo.git" composer.lock

Allowing empty or missing source urls can be done with the --allow-empty switch., _(*9)

Remove: Dist-Urls

This command will remove distribution urls from a given composer.lock file. Forcing composer to install all packages from "source"., _(*10)

It is possible to --except specific patterns like "jquery.com". These urls will not be removed., _(*11)

php bin/composer-checker remove:dist -e jquery.com composer.lock

Remove: Source-Urls

Working the same as the remove:dist counterpart. Removing the "source" entries from a given composer.lock file., _(*12)

php bin/composer-checker remove:src -e jquery.com composer.lock

This command can be very useful for automated deploying. Because if a package mirror like Satis, holding "dist" copies, is not available, composer will silently fail back to using "source" packages creating a unnoticed dependency between production and the VCS. Removing all the "source" entries from a composer.lock file, will force composer to only use the "dist" urls or stop with a failure., _(*13)
