# Package Versions

**`composer/package-versions-deprecated` is a fork of `ocramius/package-versions`** which provides compatibility with Composer 1 and 2 on PHP 7+. It replaces ocramius/package-versions so if you have a dependency requiring it and you want to use Composer v2 but can not upgrade to PHP 7.4 just yet, you can require this package instead.
**`composer/package-versions-deprecated` is a fully-compatible fork of `[ocramius/package-versions](https://github.com/Ocramius/PackageVersions)`** which provides compatibility with Composer 1 and 2 on PHP 7+. It replaces ocramius/package-versions so if you have a dependency requiring it and you want to use Composer v2 but can not upgrade to PHP 7.4 just yet, you can require this package instead.

If you have a direct dependency on ocramius/package-versions, we recommend instead that once you migrated to Composer 2 you also migrate to use the `Composer\Versions` class which offers the functionality present here out of the box.

# Original README below

This utility provides quick and easy access to version information of composer dependencies.

This information is derived from the ```composer.lock``` file which is (re)generated during ```composer install``` or ```composer update```.

```php
$version = \PackageVersions\Versions::getVersion('ocramius/package-versions');

var_dump($version); // 1.0.0@0beec7b5ea3f0fdbc95d0dd47f3c5bc275da8a33
```

### Installation

```sh
composer require ocramius/package-versions
```

It is suggested that you use [an optimized composer autoloader](https://getcomposer.org/doc/06-config.md#optimize-autoloader) (to prevent autoload I/O when accessing the `PackageVersions\Versions` API) in your composer.json:
```
...
"config": {
"optimize-autoloader": true
},
...
```

In case you manually generate your autoloader via the CLI use the `--optimize` flag:

```sh
composer dump-autoload --optimize
```

### Use-cases

This repository implements `PackageVersions\Versions::getVersion()` in such a way that no IO
happens when calling it, because the list of package versions is compiled during composer
installation.

This is especially useful when you want to generate assets/code/artifacts that are computed from
the current version of a certain dependency. Doing so at runtime by checking the installed
version of a package would be too expensive, and this package mitigates that.
