| 1 | +How To Configure and Use Flex Private Recipe Repositories |
| 2 | +========================================================= |
| 3 | + |
| 4 | +Since the `release of version 1.16`_ of ``symfony/flex``, you can build your own private |
| 5 | +flex recipe repositories, and seamlessly integrate them into the ``composer`` package |
| 6 | +installation and maintenance process. |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +This is particularly useful when you have private bundles or packages that must perform their own |
| 9 | +installation tasks, in a similar fashion that Symfony and other open-source bundles and packages handle their |
| 10 | +own installation tasks via ``symfony/flex``. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +To do this, in broad strokes, you: |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +* Create a private GitHub repository; |
| 15 | +* Create your private recipes; |
| 16 | +* Create an index to the recipes; |
| 17 | +* Store your recipes in the private repository; |
| 18 | +* Grant ``composer`` access to the private repository; |
| 19 | +* Configure your project's ``composer.json`` file; and |
| 20 | +* Install the recipes in your project. |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +Create a Private GitHub Repository |
| 23 | +---------------------------------- |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +Log in to your GitHub.com account, click your account icon in the top-right corner, and select |
| 26 | +**Your Repositories**. Then click the **New** button, fill in the **repository name**, select the |
| 27 | +**Private** radio button, and click the **Create Repository** button. |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +Create Your Private Recipes |
| 30 | +--------------------------- |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +A ``symfony/flex`` recipe is a standard JSON file that has the following structure: |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +.. code-block:: json |
| 35 | +
|
| 36 | + { |
| 37 | + "manifests": { |
| 38 | + "myorg/package-name": { |
| 39 | + "manifest": { |
| 40 | + }, |
| 41 | + "ref": "7405f3af1312d1f9121afed4dddef636c6c7ff00" |
| 42 | + } |
| 43 | + } |
| 44 | + } |
| 45 | +
|
| 46 | +If your package is a private Symfony bundle, you will have the following in the recipe: |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +.. code-block:: json |
| 49 | +
|
| 50 | + { |
| 51 | + "manifests": { |
| 52 | + "myorg/private-bundle": { |
| 53 | + "manifest": { |
| 54 | + "bundles": { |
| 55 | + "Myorg\\PrivateBundle\\MyorgPrivateBundle": [ |
| 56 | + "all" |
| 57 | + ] |
| 58 | + } |
| 59 | + }, |
| 60 | + "ref": "7405f3af1312d1f9121afed4dddef636c6c7ff00" |
| 61 | + } |
| 62 | + } |
| 63 | + } |
| 64 | +
|
| 65 | +Replace ``myorg`` and ``private-bundle`` with your own private bundle details. |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +The ``"ref"`` entry is just a random 40-character string, which is used by ``composer`` to determine if |
| 68 | +your recipe was modified. Every time that you make changes to your recipe, you also need to |
| 69 | +generate a new ``"ref"`` value. |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +.. tip:: |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | + Use the following PHP script to generate a random ``"ref"`` value. |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | + .. code-block:: |
| 76 | +
|
| 77 | + $bytes = random_bytes(20); |
| 78 | + var_dump(bin2hex($bytes)); |
| 79 | +
|
| 80 | +The ``"all"`` entry tells ``symfony/flex`` to create an entry in your project's ``bundles.php`` file |
| 81 | +for all environments. To load your bundle only for the ``dev`` environment, replace ``"all"`` with ``"dev"``. |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +The name of your recipe JSON file must conform to the following convention: |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | + ``myorg.private-bundle.1.0.json`` |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +where ``1.0`` is the version number of your bundle. |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | +Replace ``myorg`` and ``private-bundle`` with your own private bundle or package details. |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +You will probably also want ``symfony/flex`` to create configuration files for your bundle or package in the |
| 92 | +project's ``/config/packages`` directory. To do that, change the recipe JSON file as follows: |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +.. code-block:: json |
| 95 | +
|
| 96 | + { |
| 97 | + "manifests": { |
| 98 | + "myorg/private-bundle": { |
| 99 | + "manifest": { |
| 100 | + "bundles": { |
| 101 | + "Myorg\\PrivateBundle\\MyorgPrivateBundle": [ |
| 102 | + "all" |
| 103 | + ] |
| 104 | + }, |
| 105 | + "copy-from-recipe": { |
| 106 | + "config/": "%CONFIG_DIR%" |
| 107 | + } |
| 108 | + }, |
| 109 | + "files": { |
| 110 | + "config/packages/myorg_private.yaml": { |
| 111 | + "contents": [ |
| 112 | + "myorg_private:", |
| 113 | + " encode: true", |
| 114 | + "" |
| 115 | + ], |
| 116 | + "executable": false |
| 117 | + } |
| 118 | + }, |
| 119 | + "ref": "7405f3af1312d1f9121afed4dddef636c6c7ff00" |
| 120 | + } |
| 121 | + } |
| 122 | + } |
| 123 | +
|

| 125 | + |
| 126 | +Create an Index to the Recipes |
| 127 | +------------------------------ |
| 128 | + |
| 129 | +The next step is to create an ``index.json`` file, which will contain entries for all your |
| 130 | +private recipes, and other general configuration information. |
| 131 | + |
| 132 | +The ``index.json`` file has the following format: |
| 133 | + |
| 134 | +.. code-block:: json |
| 135 | +
|
| 136 | + { |
| 137 | + "recipes": { |
| 138 | + "myorg/private-bundle": [ |
| 139 | + "1.0" |
| 140 | + ] |
| 141 | + }, |
| 142 | + "branch": "master", |
| 143 | + "is_contrib": true, |
| 144 | + "_links": { |
| 145 | + "repository": "github.com/your-github-account-name/your-recipes-repository", |
| 146 | + "origin_template": "{package}:{version}@github.com/your-github-account-name/your-recipes-repository:master", |
| 147 | + "recipe_template": "https://api.github.com/repos/your-github-account-name/your-recipes-repository/contents/{package_dotted}.{version}.json" |
| 148 | + } |
| 149 | + } |
| 150 | +
|
| 151 | +Create an entry in ``"recipes"`` for each of your bundle recipes. |
| 152 | + |
| 153 | +Replace ``your-github-account-name`` and ``your-recipes-repository`` with your own details. |
| 154 | + |
| 155 | +Store Your Recipes in the Private Repository |
| 156 | +-------------------------------------------- |
| 157 | + |
| 158 | +Upload the recipe ``.json`` file(s) and the ``index.json`` file into the root directory of your |
| 159 | +private GitHub repository. |
| 160 | + |
| 161 | +Grant ``composer`` Access to the Private Repository |
| 162 | +------------------------------------------------- |
| 163 | + |
| 164 | +In your GitHub account, click your account icon in the top-right corner, select |
| 165 | +``Settings`` and ``Developer Settings``. Then select ``Personal Access Tokens``. |
| 166 | + |
| 167 | +Generate a new access token with ``Full control of private repositories`` privileges. |
| 168 | + |
| 169 | +Copy the access token value, switch to the terminal of your local computer, and execute |
| 170 | +the following command: |
| 171 | + |
| 172 | +.. code-block:: terminal |
| 173 | +
|
| 174 | + composer config --global --auth github-oauth.github.com [token] |
| 175 | +
|
| 176 | +Replace ``[token]`` with the value of your GitHub personal access token. |
| 177 | + |
| 178 | +Configure Your Project's ``composer.json`` File |
| 179 | +--------------------------------------------- |
| 180 | + |
| 181 | +Add the following to your project's ``composer.json`` file: |
| 182 | + |
| 183 | +.. code-block:: json |
| 184 | +
|
| 185 | + { |
| 186 | + "extra": { |
| 187 | + "symfony": { |
| 188 | + "endpoint": [ |
| 189 | + "https://api.github.com/repos/your-github-account-name/your-recipes-repository/contents/index.json", |
| 190 | + "flex://defaults" |
| 191 | + ] |
| 192 | + } |
| 193 | + } |
| 194 | + } |
| 195 | +
|
| 196 | +Replace ``your-github-account-name`` and ``your-recipes-repository`` with your own details. |
| 197 | + |
| 198 | +.. tip:: |
| 199 | + |
| 200 | + The ``extra.symfony`` key will most probably already exist in your ``composer.json``. Simply |
| 201 | + add the ``"endpoint"`` key to the existing ``extra.symfony`` entry. |
| 202 | + |
| 203 | +.. tip:: |
| 204 | + |
| 205 | + The ``endpoint`` URL **must** point to ``https://api.github.com/repos`` and **not* to |
| 206 | + ``https://www.github.com``. The latter will not work. |
| 207 | +
|
| 208 | +Install the Recipes in Your Project |
| 209 | +----------------------------------- |
| 210 | + |
| 211 | +If your private bundles / packages have not yet been installed in your project, run the following command: |
| 212 | + |
| 213 | +.. code-block:: terminal |
| 214 | +
|
| 215 | + composer update |
| 216 | +
|
| 217 | +If the private bundles / packages have already been installed and you just want to install the new |
| 218 | +private recipes, run the following command: |
| 219 | + |
| 220 | +.. code-block:: terminal |
| 221 | +
|
| 222 | + composer recipes |
| 223 | +
