About:
Composer is a fundamental tool for managing dependencies in PHP applications. It allows developers to declare the libraries their project needs and installs them in a project directory. It also handles autoloading, making it easy to use third-party code without manual file includes.
Key Features:
  • Dependency management and installation
  • Autoloading for third-party libraries
  • Project initialization and scaffolding
  • Lock file for reproducible builds
Use Cases:
  • Managing libraries for a web application
  • Creating a new PHP project from scratch
  • Installing frameworks like Laravel or Symfony
Alternatives:
  • Pears – The older PHP package system, largely superseded by Composer.
  • NPM – Node.js equivalent, manages JavaScript dependencies.
