composer-patches VS Torch

if you're using composer with joomla, and the plugin is installed via composer, you can commission someone to make the necessary changes, create a git diff patch that encapsulates the changes, then leverage cweagans/composer-patches to make it work. if/when new changes are necessary, they can build a new patch.

I've had problems with libraries using final having an API that isn't customizable enough in a particular way I need because I'm innovating in some way they could never have considered in the past, so my choice ends up either needing to fork the library or monkey patch it with https://github.com/cweagans/composer-patches so I can get rid of final so I can keep using it. They wouldn't accept a change in API or behaviour because it would break things for other users, etc.

There are cool tools to integrate patches from drupal.org (or your own custom patches) into your composer managed drupal website. For example (not drupal specific but works well with drupal+composer): https://github.com/cweagans/composer-patches

If the PR get's merged, I want `yay` or `pacman` to skip the patch. Ideally it would be declared in a pacman.patches file or similar to what https://github.com/cweagans/composer-patches provides for composer PHP package managment.

This has been an issue for a while, and is outlined here: - https://github.com/cweagans/composer-patches/issues/172#issuecomment-587147692 - https://github.com/cweagans/composer-patches/issues/326

Install a package that allows the composer to work with patches:

And if for some reason you do not want to make a fork, you can also create a composer patch with the help of https://github.com/cweagans/composer-patches

https://github.com/cweagans/composer-patches - this lets you patch packages when they are pulled in by Composer. I have used it in the past to get minor bugfixes into a project ASAP without having to wait for upstream or forking the entire package.

Torch is the proof that it's tightly coupled. Why do you even need a repo to show how to do it? Symfony doesn't have this issue. Just look at how much crap you need to wire to use a simple validation component: https://github.com/mattstauffer/Torch/blob/master/components/validation/index.php, it's garbage.

Other than the big frameworks, you could look at using Slim and other libraries/Symfony components to build your own framework - you could even use some Laravel components too.

You can check out https://github.com/mattstauffer/Torch to see them in action

This is was game changer for me: https://github.com/mattstauffer/Torch

Interesting! I actually found an example here: https://github.com/mattstauffer/Torch/tree/master/components/view
