composer is ignoring installer-paths configuration

Question

I\'m try using CakePHP for the first time with composer, but I have some problems.

I have this composer.json:

{
  \"name\": \"example.com.br         


        

Answer 1

Of course, what Danack has said is true: the composer-installers plugin only supports a select list of package types.

In response to that, I have written an extension for the composer-installers plugin which allows any arbitrary package type to be handled by the "installer-paths" directive.

Simply require oomphinc/composer-installers-extender in your composer.json and add support for any additional arbitrary package types:

"extra": {
  "installer-types": ["library"],
  "installer-paths": {
    "special/package/": ["my/package"],
    "path/to/libraries/{$name}/": ["type:library"]
  }
}

For packages that don't specify a type, use the default type library.
