README

Composer script copying your files after install. Supports copying of entire directories, individual files and complex nested directories.

For example copy fonts:

{
    "require":{
        "twbs/bootstrap": "~3.3",
        "slowprog/composer-copy-file": "~0.2"
    },
    "scripts": {
        "post-install-cmd": [
            "SlowProg\\CopyFile\\ScriptHandler::copy"
        ],
        "post-update-cmd": [
            "SlowProg\\CopyFile\\ScriptHandler::copy"
        ]
    },
    "extra": {
        "copy-file": {
            "vendor/twbs/bootstrap/fonts/": "web/fonts/"
        }
    }
}

Use cases

You need to be careful when using a last slash. The file-destination is different from the directory-destination with the slash.

Source directory hierarchy:

dir/
    subdir/
        file1.txt
        file2.txt
        .hidden

1. Dir-to-dir:

   {
       "extra": {
           "copy-file": {
               "dir/subdir/": "web/other/"
           }
       }
   }
   

   Result:

   web/
       other/
           file1.txt
           file2.txt
           .hidden
   

2. File-to-dir:

   {
       "extra": {
           "copy-file": {
               "dir/subdir/file1.txt": "web/other/"
               "dir/subdir/file2.txt": "web/other/file2.txt/"
           }
       }
   }
   

   Result:

   web/
       other/
           file1.txt
           file2.txt/
               file2.txt
   

3. File-to-file:

   {
       "extra": {
           "copy-file": {
               "dir/subdir/file1.txt": "web/other/file1.txt"
               "dir/subdir/file2.txt": "web/other/file_rename.txt"
           }
       }
   }
   

   Result:

   web/
       other/
           file1.txt
           file_rename.txt
   

4. One to many destinations:

   {
       "extra": {
           "copy-file": {
               "dir/subdir/file1.txt": ["web/folder/file1.txt", "web/other/file1.txt"]
           }
       }
   }
   

   Result:

   web/
       folder/
           file1.txt
       other/
           file1.txt
