How to install jQuery with Composer?

Question

I have been able to install repositories that do not have a composer.json file like this:

    {
        \"type\": \"package\",
        \"package\": {
                


        

Answer 1

This is simply a missing feature. There should probably be a new type of dist which is just a single plaintext file to be downloaded and left as-is. Please file a feature request on the github issue tracker: https://github.com/composer/composer/issues/

EDIT :

The feature actually exists but wasn't documented.

"type": "file"
