README

This is a very simple Composer plugin working on the post-install-cmd and post-update-cmd events for copying from a source path to a distination folder.

I created this to avoid copying manualy the bootstrap less files into a temporary folder and overriding the variables.less for generating a custom bootstrap.css file using the less filter from the symfony/assetic-bundle.

Installation / Usage

1. In your composer.json project's file add the requirements

   composer require sreichel/composer-plugin-file-copy

   {
       "require": {
           "sreichel/composer-plugin-file-copy": "^1.0.0"
       }
   }

2. In your composer.json project's file add the config in the extra element

   composer config --json --merge extra.file-copy '[{"source": "vendor/dir", "target": "lib/vendor", "debug": true}]'

   {
       "extra": {
           "file-copy" : [
               {
                   "source": "vendor/dir",
                   "target": "lib/vendor",
                   "debug": true
               }
           ]
       }
   }

   or

   {
       "extra": {
           "file-copy" : [
               {
                   "source": "vendor/dir",
                   "target": "lib/vendor",
                   "debug": true
               }, {
                   "source": "src/Some/Bundle/less/bootstrap/*.less",
                   "target": "var/less/bootstrap"
               }, {
                   "source": "/home/username/Documents/*.{js,css}",
                   "target": "var/test"
               }
           ]
       }
   }

   Note: The destination element must be a folder. if the destination folder does not exists, it is recursively created using mkdir($destination, 0755, true).

   Note: If the destination folder is not an absolute path, the relative path is calculated using the vendorDir path ($project_path = \realpath($this->composer->getConfig()->get('vendor-dir').'/../').'/';)

   Note: The source element is evaluated using the php function \glob($source, GLOB_MARK) and a recursive copy is made for every result of this function into the destination folder

Requirements

PHP 7.4 or above
