Perch and Composer

Hi,

Is there a composer repository for Perch? It would be great to be able to pull in Perch core and official apps using composer.

There's not. I did look into it, but composer isn't really suited to installing code that runs inside your web root rather than outside of it.

OK, thanks Drew.

I know we are running composer to pull in Drupal modules by defining a path to the directory within the web root using composer/installers. Not sure if that could be be an option in the future?

It would require a restructuring of Perch that would make upgrading a massive support burden. So it's unlikely to happen as it would cost us a lot of time we'd not recoup from sales.
