Tips

  • In each downloaded folder, this plugin will create a small metadata folder (.composer-downloads) to track the origin of the current code. If you modify the composer.json to use a different URL, then it will re-download the file.

  • Download each extra file to a distinct path. Don't try to download into overlapping paths. (This has not been tested, but I expect downloads are not well-ordered, and you may find that updates require re-downloading.)

  • What should you do if you normally download the extra-file as *.tar.gz but sometimes (for local dev) need to grab bleeding edge content from somewhere else? Simply delete the autodownloaded folder and replace it with your own. composer-downloads-plugin will detect that conflict (by virtue of the absent .composer-downloads) and leave your code in place (until you choose to get rid of it). To switch back, you can simply delete the code and run composer install again.
