Composer Update Manager

Check if your composer.lock is up to date. This class will produce a file of outdated packeges and provide number of outdated packages. You can also update specific packages

I do not recomment updating packages in production

Create Manager

This package comes with predefined factory for ComposerUpdateManager. This factory will create manager with file storage. Default settings are set for linux users.

<?php
$managerFactory = new Lmn\ComposerUpdateManager\FileManagerFactory();
$manager = $managerFactory->createComposerUpdateManager();

Get outdated packages for updates

Default file storage acts as a form of cache, so you can always ask for packages that are outdated. This list is not automaticaly refreshed. To refresh this list call checkAvailableUpdates method. Method getAvailableUpdates returns list of Lmn\ComposerUpdateManager\Package.

<?php
$managerFactory = new Lmn\ComposerUpdateManager\FileManagerFactory();
$manager = $managerFactory->createComposerUpdateManager();

$available = $manager->getAvailableUpdates();

Check for updates

To run packages check you have to call ->checkAvailableUpdates() method. This will actually run composer outdated --direct if You use Composer as ApplicationInterface. This proces is a little bit time consuing, it can run for several minutes, so we recommend to run it in some kind of queue / background process.

<?php
$managerFactory = new Lmn\ComposerUpdateManager\FileManagerFactory();
$manager = $managerFactory->createComposerUpdateManager();

$available = $manager->checkAvailableUpdates();

Also worth to note, you may need to increase your memory_limit to 256M

Get outdated count

<?php
$managerFactory = new Lmn\ComposerUpdateManager\FileManagerFactory();
$manager = $managerFactory->createComposerUpdateManager();

$available = $manager->getOutdatedCount();

Create ComposerUpdateManager

To create the instance you have to provide a way of storing information about outdated packages.

1. StorageInterface - We provide FileStorage that accepts config array with a file_path. This file_path is a file that will be used to store output of outdated packages.
2. ApplicationInterface - the application that will chcek for outdated packages. We have Composer class as only option. This class requires 2 config values home, that is a variable for coposer command and root_path, that is a path to composer.json file.

home is usualy set to __DIR__ . '/vendor/bin/composer'

Example

<?php
$manager = new Lmn\ComposerUpdateManager\ComposerUpdateManager(
    new Lmn\ComposerUpdateManager\Storage\FileStorage([
        'file_path' => './storage/tmp/outdated_output.txt'
    ]), 
    new Lmn\ComposerUpdateManager\Application\Composer([
        'home' => __DIR__ . '/vendor/bin/composer',
        'root_path' => '../'
    ])
);
?>
