composer.json support

[Stikki]

Howdy,

i was just wondering if there is already workaround in core that would automatically sniff for composer.json up on module installation and install dependencies?

What i'm currently doing is that i include vendor folder into modules, but somehow this feels stupid as of core could just handle this part up on module installation and place dependencies under ROOT_PATH/vendor/?

i tried quickly to look around for previous posts about this topic, but couldn't find anything.

Cheers!

Although PW has composer support, not every setup has composer. This means some modules cannot function as their dependencies cannot be installed during module installation.

When developing a module, if I need a library, I install it with composer inside module directory and require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php'  inside __construct(), or init() or ready(). All references with use keyword resolve automatically.
