PHP Package Management: Getting More Information on Composer

The overview of Composer in this chapter is all about using code that other people have written in your project. If you are interested in making your code available as a library for other people to install via Composer, read the “Libraries” chapter of the documentation. Publishing a package on Packagist is free and easy.

There are other Composer repositories as well. For example, WordPress Packagist is a repository of WordPress themes and plugins set up so you can install the themes and plugins with Composer. Drupal packages are available via Composer from Packagist.
