  • Composer is just a console application
    7 projects | dev.to | 16 May 2026
    I'm embarrassed I never took the time to understand Composer until now. I have been preaching for a long time to start each PHP project with Composer, even when the project is not going end up on Packagist.

  • How and Why to Use Patches
    2 projects | dev.to | 24 Jun 2025
    To get started, assume that there's a third-party dependency that is imported and whose contents you can and need to manipulate. For this section, I will walkthrough a scenario where that dependency is an NPM package. But this could apply to other language's package managers (like PHP's packagist) or where a giant .zip of the codebase needs to be unzipped and hooked up (as was the case with simpleSAMLphp). In this scenario, node_modules/ will also be .gitignored and does not need to stay in the codebase for the patch to be applied.

    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.
