One shared vendor with two projects

Question

I\'m working on 2 applications right now. The first one is a CMS, and the second is a shop. I want to move my vendor one level above and the share it between projects.

Answer 1

For Laravel 5, 6 and 7+

After adding the new vendor folder config:

...
"config": {
    ...,
    "vendor-dir": "../vendor"
},
...

Then run composer update

Then you need to change two files:

1. For your app: public/index.php

   require __DIR__.'/../../vendor/autoload.php';

2. Your artisan command in the root folder: artisan

   require __DIR__.'/../vendor/autoload.php';

3. Package auto-discovery in Illuminate\Foundation\PackageManifest:

   $this->vendorPath = $basePath.'/../vendor'; //Change this line in constructor

and rerun

php artisan package:discover --ansi
