How to get multiple vendor directories with composer?

Question

My project relies on ZF and on a JS library. I wanted to be able to deploy the ZF library to the normal location (vendor/zendframework/zendframework1) but then deploy my JS

Answer 1

Composer is meant to manage your PHP dependencies, not JS.

Also, it only supports one vendor folder.

You might follow the way Symfony bundles use:

• install everything in vendor
• link (or copy) public assets to a public directory as part of your deployment process

In my opinion it's safer than installing something in a public folder (as long as you copy/link public part of a library only).
