update-composer-json

Description

The update-composer-json command adds or updates the composer.json file with dev-tools integration scripts and GrumPHP configuration:

1. Adds the dev-tools script entrypoint
2. Adds the dev-tools:fix script for automated fixing
3. Adds GrumPHP extra configuration pointing to the packaged grumphp.yml

Usage

composer update-composer-json
composer dev-tools update-composer-json -- [options]
vendor/bin/dev-tools update-composer-json [options]

Options

--file, -f (optional)

Path to the composer.json file to update. Default: composer.json .

--dry-run

Preview managed composer.json drift without writing the file.

--check

Exit with code 1 when composer.json needs an update.

--interactive

Prompt before updating composer.json .

--json

Emit a structured machine-readable payload instead of the normal terminal output.

Examples

Update the default composer.json:

composer dev-tools update-composer-json

Update a specific file:

composer dev-tools update-composer-json --file=composer.json

Behavior

• If the target composer.json does not exist, the command exits silently with code 0.
• Existing scripts with the same name are overwritten.
• The GrumPHP extra configuration is merged with existing configuration.
• --dry-run and --check render a diff against the managed composer.json result before deciding whether to write.
