Add directory using Composer

Question

I wanted to get several Git repositories then place it on a certain directory on my Git-tracked project. My current project structure:

- custom
- plugins
- file.txt

When the user do a composer install, I wanted it to fetch this Git repo then place it under new directory on my project named provisioning.

- custom
- plugins
- provisioning
  - nginx
- file.txt

Am I using the Composer the right way?

Answer 1

By default, the composer will install dependencies to vendor directory. If you need to install everything into directory names provisioning the use

"config": {
    "vendor-dir": "plugins"
},

in your composer.json file and then run composer install command
