Running Composer Commands
Simple task and multi task modes
grunt-composer
supports both 'simple' and 'multi' task modes in Grunt.
Multi task mode is activated whenever any configuration under the composer
key is found in your Grunt configuration.
This is important, as the way you run the task changes depending on this mode.
Simple task mode
The first argument passed to the grunt-composer
task becomes the command to
run. Arguments are passed to tasks in Grunt by separating them via a colon,
:
.
grunt composer:update
is equivalent to:
composer update
Multi task mode
When in multi task mode, an additional target
is required when running the
task.
This example runs the composer update
command, using configuration for the
some_target
target.
grunt composer:some_target:update
Command Options
You can provide arguments to the Composer executable by adding them to the task name you run. This pattern works for both simple and multi task modes.
grunt composer:install:no-dev
is equivalent to:
composer install --no-dev
Alternatively, you can provide these options through options in your Grunt configuration, explained below.
Options
Example configuration
grunt.initConfig({
composer : {
options : {
usePhp: true,
phpArgs: {
someArg: 'custom'
},
flags: ['arg'],
cwd: 'packages/build',
composerLocation: '/usr/bin/composer'
},
some_target: {
options : {
flags: ['arg'],
cwd: 'packages/build'
}
}
}
})
options.usePhp
Type: Boolean
Default value: false
This tells the plugin to execute php #{composerLocation}
options.flags
Type: Array
Default value: []
This is an array of custom Composer CLI args, such as no-dev
.
Note: This is bypassed if there are command options.
options.phpArgs
Type: Object
Default value: {}
This is an object which you should use to send -D arguments to the php binary.
options.cwd
Type: String
Default value: '.'
This is the working directory, normally where the composer.json is located.
options.composerLocation
Type: String
Default value: 'composer'
The binary to use for Composer if not installed globally.
If options.cwd
is present, relative paths for options.composerLocation
are relative to that directory.
