A Composer Plugin for WordPress Development

This is a Composer plugin to add WordPress packages from the SVN repository.

Getting Started

This plugin needs to be globally installed in order to initialize the repositories early enough.

composer global require fancyguy/composer-wordpress-plugin

Repositories

WordPressCoreRepository - This provides the wordpress/wordpress package from SVN as a source install and from the API as a dist install.

WordPressThemeRepository - This exposes themes on wordpress.org as wordpress-theme/* from the SVN for source or the API for dist.

WordPressPluginRepository - This exposes plugins on wordpress.org as wordpress-plugin/* from the SVN for source or the API for dist.

Installers

CoreInstaller - This installs the wordpress-core package, writes wp-config.php and generates salts.

ThemeInstaller - This installs wordpress-theme packages into the configured theme directory.

PluginInstaller - This installs the wordpress-plugin packages into the configured plugin directory.

Configuration

The installers use the following default configuration to define the corresponding constants in wp-config.php

{
    "extra": {
        "wordpress": {
            "webroot": "wordpress",
            "content-path": "wp-content",
