composer-unused VS Composer

I like the idea and examples and I was looking for some time to improve console output for composer-unused, to be honest.

composer-unused: Show unused composer dependencies by scanning your code

There is also no requirement to follow the PHP-FIG standards. The best thing that is build because of those standards is Composer. The most plugins I downloaded while writing use composer. The problem is that the plugins ship with their own vendor directory. While the standard is to have one vendor directory for the whole project. This results in different packages with the same or different version of it in the plugins. Other CMS's like Craft CMS and Drupal have the same problem where third parties provide plugins, but they are able to use Composer as it should be used.

“Extensions are now very close to being like packages; they basically look like Composer packages. It’s still open to discussion whether PIE will be part of Composer someday. It’s not decided yet, but I hope it will be,” Roman added.

Dependencies are managed by Composer (like npm, cargo, etc) for more than 10 years now.

Composer and Packagist have become key tools for establishing the foundations of PHP-based applications. Packagist is essentially a directory containing PHP code out of which Composer, a PHP-dependency manager, retrieves packages. Their ease of use and exceptional features simplify the process of importing and managing own and third-party components into our PHP projects.

Simplicity: Getting started is a breeze—install via Composer, define some routes, and you’re off. Scaling up? Add middleware or libs like Twig or Eloquent as needed.

Laravel requires Composer, a dependency manager for PHP. You can download and install Composer from getcomposer.org.

I was reading a comment of someone that liked php before version 5, because it had no object-oriented features. That made me think about how code gets discovered in php files. And the first thing I thought of was Composer. With a simple directive in the composer.json file you can make all classes discoverable in a directory.
