README

A Composer wrapper to read its configuration from a YAML file, composer.yml.

⚠️  Note:

    This package is still in the very early stages of development.
    Don't be disappointed by its lack of substance.

Why‽

Comments can't be added to composer.json because JSON doesn't allow comments.
YAML allows comments.
Bidirectional conversion between YAML and JSON is easy and reliable. (Except for the loss of YAML comments.)
If loss of fidelity between between YAML and JSON is a concern, fret not. YAML can contain JSON and still allow comments.
The igorw/composer-yaml project good, but it only converts composer.yml to composer.json. It doesn't run Composer using the new composer.json file, though.
In contrast, Composery will:
- Convert composer.yml to composer.json.
- Run composer using the new composer.json.
- By default, delete composer.json before exiting.
- Optionally keep composer.json when exiting, which is useful for debugging or distribution.
