Composer copy file

Composer script copying your files after install. Supports copying of entire directories, individual files and complex nested directories., _(*2)

For example copy fonts:, _(*3)

{
    "require":{
        "twbs/bootstrap": "~3.3",
        "slowprog/composer-copy-file": "~0.3"
    },
    "scripts": {
        "post-install-cmd": [
            "SlowProg\\CopyFile\\ScriptHandler::copy"
        ],
        "post-update-cmd": [
            "SlowProg\\CopyFile\\ScriptHandler::copy"
        ]
    },
    "extra": {
        "copy-file": {
            "vendor/twbs/bootstrap/fonts/": "web/fonts/"
        }
    }
}

In a development you may use -dev suffix. For example copy non-minified in development and minified in production:, _(*4)

{
    "require":{
        "twbs/bootstrap": "~3.3",
        "slowprog/composer-copy-file": "~0.3"
    },
    "scripts": {
        "post-install-cmd": [
            "SlowProg\\CopyFile\\ScriptHandler::copy"
        ],
        "post-update-cmd": [
            "SlowProg\\CopyFile\\ScriptHandler::copy"
        ]
    },
    "extra": {
        "copy-file": {
            "vendor/twbs/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js": "web/js/bootstrap.js"
        },
        "copy-file-dev": {
            "vendor/twbs/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.js": "web/js/bootstrap.js"
        }
    }
}

Use cases

You need to be careful when using a last slash. The file-destination is different from the directory-destination with the slash., _(*5)

If in destination directory already exists copy of file, then it will be override. To overwrite only older files append ? in end of destination path., _(*6)

Source directory hierarchy:, _(*7)

dir/
    subdir/
        file1.txt
        file2.txt

1. Dir-to-dir:, _(*8)

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

   Result:, _(*9)

   web/
       other/
           file1.txt
           file2.txt
   

2. File-to-dir:, _(*10)

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

   Result:, _(*11)

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

3. File-to-file:, _(*12)

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

   Result:, _(*13)

   web/
       other/
           file1.txt
           file_rename.txt
   

4. Override only older files:, _(*14)

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

   Result:, _(*16)

   web/
       other/
           file1.txt - Not changed
           file2.txt - Replaced
   

5. Filter source files by regexp pattern, _(*17)

   {
       "extra": {
           "copy-file": {
               "dir/subdir#1\.\w{3}$": "web/other/"
           }
       }
   }
   

   Result:, _(*18)

   web/
       other/
           file1.txt
