Composer and Autoloading?

[Ezyweb-uk]

Any plans to incorporate the option of including composer and autoloading?

This request should be made on the original repo https://github.com/devinvinson/WordPress-Plugin-Boilerplate/ but the last update on that repo was 4 years ago.

Maybe is time to fork it.

You know what @Tmeister, I totally get your point of view re it's the kind of request that should be submitted to the boilerplate project. But truth is the 'owner' of the boilerplate repo clearly has no plans to keep maintain it as it's totally dead. Plenty have submitted Issues and PRs all just sit there going nowhere. Would be really nice if your excellent code generator allowed some kind of add-ins somehow such as @Ezyweb-uk has suggested.

I have some code I frequently include, for example, to add a starter Google Tag Manager data layer or to include WP CLI features and it's such a pain, even with your generator, to have to try shoehorn extra bits in before starting any real development.

Just thinking out loud a little here but what about allowing a custom repo url to the boilerplate repo to be entered on the generator? I could then have my own forked version with all the bits in I want but still use your utility to generate the code as it would use my repo to do the generation from instead of the official/original one.
