The Composer plugin "composer/package-versions-deprecated" enables efficient querying for installed package versions, without needing to perform runtime IO. This functionality is particularly useful in scenarios where developers want to verify the versions of their installed packages swiftly and efficiently. The plugin is a fully-compatible fork from ocramius/package-versions
, optimized to provide compatibility with both Composer 1 and 2 on any PHP version 7 and above. Aimed at developers who prefer utilizing Composer v2 without the immediate necessity to upgrade to PHP 7.4, this plugin also substitutes ocramius/package-versions. Nevertheless, please note this composer package is end-of-life (EOL) and deprecated, indicating that it might cease receiving updates, fixes, or support in the near future. Therefore, it is highly recommended for users to transition to other available alternatives as soon as possible.
To use the "composer/package-versions-deprecated" plugin, you must first require the package in your project. Here is an example on how to require the package using command line:
composer require composer/package-versions-deprecated
After it's required, you can utilize the functionality throughout your project. However, if you're currently using ocramius/package-versions
, you are encouraged to switch to the Composer\InstalledVersions
class upon migrating to Composer 2.x. After this, you can remove the requirement for the deprecated package.
