In my earlier post I mentioned about adding a composer.json in the root of the github repo.

Sometimes you may see a non composer.json repo or some times people reject it, you still can do like the below.

                    "hari/pw-module": "~1.0"
                }
            }
        }
    ],    
    "require": {
        "ryancramerdesign/process-export-profile": "1.0.0"
    }
}

And run

1

php composer.phar update

Don’t forget you need composer.phar. If you don’t have get from getcomposer.org

The module is downloaded to site/modules/ProcessExportProfile. The package is of type pw-module

The name process-export-profile is converted to ProcessExportProfile . So if you have caps in between name put a hyphen in the naming

PHP Composer ProcessWire CMS

I am a huge fan of composer. PW ( ProcessWire) is missing one of the good parts of composer. So here is a new installer to install the 3rd party modules of PW via composer. If you have created a module for PW, what you need to do is add a composer.json file in your github repo and add it to packagist. An example composer.json is 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 { "name": "vendor/package-name", "type": "pw-module", "description": "Your module what it does", "keywords": [ "keywords", "comma", "seprated"], "homepage": "https://github.com/harikt/Assets", "license": "BSD-2-Clause", "authors": [ { "name": "Assets Contributors", "homepage": "https://github.com/harikt/Assets/contributors" } ], "require": { "php": ">=5.3.0", "hari/pw-module": "~1.0" } } Note the minimum requirement is PHP 5.3 for composer is 5.3 .
