[SOLVED] Question from a Drupal switcher. How to install module using composer?

[howdytom]

Hi there,

I am a Drupal themer and sitebuilder for some time and consider switching to Processwire. In Drupal you can use Drush, a command-line shell for installing modules and clearing Cache… It really speeds up working with site projects. 

As I found out you can also use git or composer to install Processwire. However it looks like it's limited to Core only. Is that correct? Is it possible to use composer to install Processwire modules?

Thank your for your help and pointing me in the right direction.

Hi, and welcome to the forum.

We do have wireshell, which can be used to install modules from the directory by class name. As for Composer, I think that the module would specifically need to support it - widespread implementation hasn't been done as yet, but I'm sure we'll get there in the future. There is a third-party installer for those modules that do support it.

Hope that helps.

Excellent. Thank you for your quick reply. Wireshell is exactly I was looking for.
