+# Libraries
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+This chapter will tell you how to make your library installable through composer.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+## Every project is a package
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+As soon as you have a `composer.json` in a directory, that directory is a package. When you add a `require` to a project, you are making a package that depends on other packages. The only difference between your project and libraries is that your project is a package without a name.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+In order to make that package installable you need to give it a name. You do this by adding a `name` to `composer.json`:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+```json
|
|
|
+{
|
|
|
+ "name": "acme/hello-world",
|
|
|
+ "require": {
|
|
|
+ "monolog/monolog": "1.0.*"
|
|
|
+ }
|
|
|
+}
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+In this case the project name is `acme/hello-world`, where `acme` is the vendor name. Supplying a vendor name is mandatory.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+**Note:** If you don't know what to use as a vendor name, your GitHub username is usually a good bet. The convention for word separation is to use dashes.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+## Specifying the version
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+You need to specify the version some way. Depending on the type of repository you are using, it might be possible to omit it from `composer.json`, because the repository is able to infer the version from elsewhere.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+If you do want to specify it explicitly, you can just add a `version` field:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+```json
|
|
|
+{
|
|
|
+ "version": "1.0.0"
|
|
|
+}
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+However if you are using git, svn or hg, you don't have to specify it. Composer will detect versions as follows:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Tags
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+For every tag that looks like a version, a package version of that tag will be created. It should match 'X.Y.Z' or 'vX.Y.Z', with an optional suffix for RC, beta, alpha or patch.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Here are a few examples of valid tag names:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ 1.0.0
|
|
|
+ v1.0.0
|
|
|
+ 1.10.5-RC1
|
|
|
+ v4.4.4beta2
|
|
|
+ v2.0.0-alpha
|
|
|
+ v2.0.4-p1
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+**Note:** If you specify an explicit version in `composer.json`, the tag name must match the specified version.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Branches
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+For every branch, a package development version will be created. If the branch name looks like a version, the version will be `{branchname}-dev`. For example a branch `2.0` will get a version `2.0-dev`. If the branch does not look like a version, it will be `dev-{branchname}`. `master` results in a `dev-master` version.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Here are some examples of version branch names:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ 1.0
|
|
|
+ 1.*
|
|
|
+ 1.1.x
|
|
|
+ 1.1.*
