Composer and Yii

Question

I\'m using composer as my dependency manager and since I need to develop with Yii Framework I added it to my composer.json file, so it looks like this:

//other p         


        

Answer 1

I had the exact same issue, so I ended up repackaging Yii so that it only contains the framework folder. It reduces the package by ~10Mb. Here's a link to the github repo.

Just add the following to your composer.json file.

{
    "require": {
        "square1-io/yii-framework": "1.1.14"
    }
}

Then run:

$ composer install

I've thrown up a blog post about it: http://blog.square1.io/post/60830077608/yii-1-1-14-via-composer
