This plugin allows you to provide patches for any package from any package.
If you don't want a patch package outside the root package, consider providing it as package in the repositories key
{
"name": "rajeshreeputra/package",
"type": "metapackage",
"require": {
"vendor/package-patches": "~1.0"
},
"extra": {
"patches": {
"vendor/package-patches": [
{
"This is patch 1": "url/to/file1.patch",
"This is patch 2": "url/to/file2.patch"
}
]
}
}
}
You may provide patches per package and optionally by version constraints:
composer.json:
{
"name": "rajeshreeputra/package",
"type": "metapackage",
"require": {
"vendor/package-patches": "~1.0"
},
"extra": {
"patches": {
"vendor/package-patches": {
"1.0.0": {
"This is patch 1.0.0 - 1": "url/to/file1.patch",
"This is patch 1.0.0 - 2": "url/to/file2.patch"
},
"1.0.5": {
"This is patch 1.0.5 - 1": "url/to/file1.patch",
"This is patch 1.0.5 - 2": "url/to/file2.patch"
},
"1.1.2": {
"This is patch 1.1.2 - 1": "url/to/file1.patch",
"This is patch 1.1.2 - 2": "url/to/file2.patch"
}
"1.1.*": {
"This is patch 1.1.* - 1": "url/to/file1.patch",
"This is patch 1.1.* - 2": "url/to/file2.patch"
}
}
}
}
}
Note: When multiple version constraints match the version of the target package, all of the matching patches will be applied (canonicalized by theyr checksums, so no duplicates should occure).
You can put any part of the patches object into another JSON and load it via an URL (or a path):
{
"name": "rajeshreeputra/package",
"type": "project",
"require": {
"vendor/package-patches": "~1.0"
},
"extra": {
"patches-file": "url/to/file/patch.json"
}
}
http://url/to/file/patches.json
{
"vendor/package-patches": {
"1.0.0": {
"This is patch 1.0.0 - 1": "url/to/file1.patch",
"This is patch 1.0.0 - 2": "url/to/file2.patch"
},
"1.0.5": {
"This is patch 1.0.5 - 1": "url/to/file1.patch",
"This is patch 1.0.5 - 2": "url/to/file2.patch"
},
"1.1.2": {
"This is patch 1.1.2 - 1": "url/to/file1.patch",
"This is patch 1.1.2 - 2": "url/to/file2.patch"
}
"1.1.*": {
"This is patch 1.1.* - 1": "url/to/file1.patch",
"This is patch 1.1.* - 2": "url/to/file2.patch"
}
}
}
You can use absolute paths or paths relative to the application root.
composer.json:
{
"name": "rajeshreeputra/package",
"type": "project",
"require": {
"vendor/package-patches": "~1.0"
},
"extra": {
"patches": {
"vendor/package-patches": {
"This is local patch": "./patches/file.patch"
}
}
}
}
I have also added a new folder at the same level as the composer.json called "patches" and add a patch file file.json like:
# This patch file was generated by NetBeans IDE
# It uses platform neutral UTF-8 encoding and \n newlines.
--- a/src/SomeFile.php
+++ b/src/SomeFile.php
@@ -6,7 +6,7 @@
{
// apply patch to
// next line
- // This is old line
+ // This is new line
// some text
// some text
// some text
Note that the patch will be called with the option -p1 (remove the first slash) and in the directory of the library.
Then run the commands to update the dependency and to install patches:
composer update vendor/package-patches
composer prl
composer prp
