Optimize Composer for Drupal projects
About
This composer-plugin contains a set of improvements that makes running heavy duty composer commands (i.e.
composer updateor
composer require) much faster.
Composer 2
Since Composer 2 is quite fast by default, this plugin is not needed, and will be disabled if Composer 2 is detected. If everyone involved in development of a project is using Composer 2, this plugin becomes redundant and can be removed from the list of project dependencies.
Installation
composer require zaporylie/composer-drupal-optimizations:^1.1 --dev
No configuration required 🎊
Optimizations
- Reduce memory usage and CPU usage by removing legacy symfony tags
Benchmark
Following numbers are for clean https://github.com/drupal-composer/drupal-project/ without and with this plugin.
Before:
Memory usage: 323.19MB (peak: 1121.09MB), time: 13.68s
After:
Memory usage: 238.66MB (peak: 297.17MB), time: 4.84s
php 7.2, macOS High Sierra, i7, 16GB RAM
Configuration
If no configuration is provided this package will provide sensible defaults based on the
drupal/coreversion constraint in the root composer.json file. Default configuration should cover 99% of the cases. However, in case you want to manually specify the tags that should be filtered out you are welcome to use the
extrasection:
{
"extra": {
"composer-drupal-optimizations": {
"require": {
"symfony/symfony": ">3.4"
}
}
}
}
Recommendation note: Use defaults (skip config above) if possible - this package will be maintained throughout the Drupal's lifecycle in order to optimize legacy constraints in parallel with Drupal's requirements.
All you have to do is to make sure your drupal core constraint in the root composer.json is set to
drupal/core: ^8.5or above. If you use a Drupal distribution, be sure to explicitly require
drupal/corein your own project as well.
