## Description

Adding Composer dependency management to WP CLI. Allows you to recursivly install/
update composer packages inside of all of your WordPress plugins and themes.

### What is this using?

This package uses a great piece of software called [WP-CLI](http://wp-cli.org/).
It provides a command line interface for WordPress management. We are a plugin providing
Composer management inside of WP CLI.

### What’s Composer?

It’s the greatest thing to happen to the web since GIFs, Drop Shadows and dancing
cats. Composer is a dead simple JSON-based dependency manager for PHP. For more 
information, check out [http://getcomposer.org/](http://getcomposer.org/).

### So this is complete Composer support?

No, not exactly! Sadly, I’m building this out and I’m trying to make some sweet 
WP-CLI and Composer integration. But for now, we only support a few command:

 * install
 * update
 * diagnose
 * help
 * status

If you’d love to help out, please help! Make a pull request and let’s get coding!

### How do I build Composer Management inside of my plugin?

Simple really! You just create a simple `composer.json` file like you would with
any Composer project. From there, wp-composer will interface with each plugin/theme
that has composer support and it will generate the autoload files, too!

Just include something like this inside your main plugin file:

    ```
    require(__DIR__.'/vendor/autoload.php');
    ```

It’s that simple.

## Installation

 1. Upload `/composer/` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Interface with it via wp-cli!
