For instance, files like
/vendor/composer/classLoader.php
/vendor/composer/autoload_classmap.php
On a project I'm on these are checked in. I wasn't sure whether that's good practice or not, as I remember reading Laravel recommends /vendor
to be in .gitignore
.
The general recommendation is no. The vendor directory (or wherever your dependencies are installed) should be added to . gitignore / svn:ignore /etc. The best practice is to then have all the developers use Composer to install the dependencies.
It is a directory found at the root of a Go module that stores a copy of all the code the module depends on. The vendored code is used to compile the final executable when the go build command is run. As you can imagine, at the heart of the “should we commit vendor?” discussion is the problem of repo size.
The vendor folder is where you usually (I'm using the word 'usually' because it's not exactly a rule but more of a preference in the coding community with the purpose of having a semantic directory structure) keep third-party resources(icons, images, codes, you name it) as opposed to a lib (library) folder where you or ...
The vendor is a subfolder in the Laravel root directory. It includes the Composer dependencies in the file autoload. php. Composer is a PHP based tool for dependency management. As a Laravel project works with many libraries, it requires the Composer for dependency management.
No, the vendor
directory should be excluded, and never manually touched. A composer update
/ composer install
will generate the class loader when you install your dependencies.
No, your vendor folder is not part of your source code, and shouldn't be checked in in your git repository.
A good workflow would be :
composer update
on your local repository
composer.lock
composer install
on your production repository
Your composer.json
defines the acceptable versions of your dependencies that will be used when running composer update
.
The problem that comes in when using only composer.json
is to have reproducible builds (eg exactly the same versions of your dependencies in all your environments). That is why, when you run composer install, if there is a composer.lock
file, composer will instead load the exact same dependencies as the ones written in the composer.lock file. Your composer.lock
file is updated whenever you run composer update
.
