Remove files when downloading a dependency with composer

问题

I am sure I once read it somewhere but I cannot find it anymore anywhere, DAMN!

So basically what I am trying to do is to specify some exclusion criteria in my composer.json file for a certain library of mine so that, when used as a dependency of a project, the importing project does not get test files, .git folders, READ.md files and all that stuff (totally useless when you only want a library as a dependency and not for development).

So basically I am trying to lighten up my libs when they are downloaded as dependencies. Anyone on that?

回答1:

You can add a .gitattributes file to your project root, looking something like this:

/Tests export-ignore
READ.md export-ignore

When someone installs your dependency this files will be excluded from the distribution zip. There are some prerequisites for your lib to be downloaded as a zip by composer

You need to have a stable tagged version. dev-master will always be cloned by composer.
If the user installs with composer install --prefer-source composer will also clone from your git repo.

In all other cases composer will download the zip and all the files in .gitattributes will be excluded from it.

Hope this helps.

If you're on a unix-like system, you can do this in one cmd, simply cd to vendor dir and :

find . -type d -regextype posix-egrep -regex ".*\/(tests?|docs?|\.git)" -exec rm -rf {} \;

adapt the regex to your needs

find cmd: http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?find
