I'm using symfony 2.1 and I want to add a library to vendors. The library do not exists in packagist. I can't manage it with composer. When I install bundles or others vendors through composer, it manage autoload for me. But where to register autoload when the vendor is not managed with composer?
You can add libraries to composer that are not in packagist.
You must add them in the repositories
array of your composer.json
file.
Here's how to load a github repository that has a composer.json file, even though it's not on packagist (for example a fork you would have done to fix a repository) : http://getcomposer.org/doc/02-libraries.md#publishing-to-a-vcs
And here's how to load a library that's on a git/svn repository, or a zip file : http://getcomposer.org/doc/05-repositories.md#types
An example using various possibilities:
{
"repositories": [
{
"type": "vcs",
"url": "http://github.com/igorw/monolog"
},
{
"type": "package",
"package": {
"name": "smarty/smarty",
"version": "3.1.7",
"dist": {
"url": "http://www.smarty.net/files/Smarty-3.1.7.zip",
"type": "zip"
},
"source": {
"url": "http://smarty-php.googlecode.com/svn/",
"type": "svn",
"reference": "tags/Smarty_3_1_7/distribution/"
},
"autoload": {
"classmap": [
"libs/"
]
}
}
}
],
"require": {
"monolog/monolog": "dev-bugfix",
"smarty/smarty": "3.1.*"
}
}
