Assists with linking vendor modules to the public webroot

SilverStripe Vendor Plugin Helper Utility

When installing SilverStripe modules in the vendor directory it may also be necessary to ensure certain module assets are exposed to the webroot, as the 'vendor' url prefix is blocked from web-access by default., _(*1)

See also: Vendor plugin

This utility allows setup of these paths if the vendor-plugin is disabled through the use of --no-plugins in install., _(*2)

See information on this plugin at the vendor-plugin github page, _(*3)

Installation

composer global require silverstripe/vendor-plugin-helper
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:~/.composer/vendor/bin/'  >> ~/.bash_profile

Optional args:, _(*5)
