README

This is a lightweight composer plugin that lets you install webtrees modules using composer.

It installs them to /modules_v4 instead of the usual /vendor/.

It only works with webtrees source code. It cannot be used with standard releases as these do not have composer.json.

Module requirements

The module needs these elements in its composer.json.

{
  "type": "webtrees-module",
  "require": {
    "webtrees/module-installer": "^1.0"
  }
}

The module needs to be published on packagist.

Installing the module

In webtrees, use composer to install the module.

composer require webtrees/example-module
