Composer Tips & Tricks Talk

11 Mar 2016 · Haralan Dobrev

I’ve recently gave a talk about Composer Tips & Tricks at the Bulgaria PHP user group meeting in March.

Here are my slides and a list of tips and some useful links with examples from the talk:

• composer create-project

• clippings/composer-init

• composer update --with-dependencies, composer require --update-with-dependencies, composer remove --update-with-dependencies

• composer update --prefer-lowest

• Travis CI with build matrix

• Example of a .travis.yml using --prefer-lowest and an example Travis CI build with that matrix

• config.platform

• config.preferred-install

• .gitattributes export-ignore

• composer test and composer run-script

• composer depends, composer prohibits

• composer branch aliases

• Bonus: Facebook’s PR mention bot for GitHub

We are eager to be organising, attending and speaking at more events. Drop me a line if you have ideas about various events.

We’re hiring! If you want to know more read about working at Clippings.com.
