Foxy

Foxy is a Composer plugin that aggregates asset dependencies from Composer packages into a single package.json and runs Bun, npm, Yarn, or pnpm while preserving the Composer state on failures.

Features

Installation

composer require php-forge/foxy:^0.1

Manager can be bun, npm, yarn or pnpm. For default, npm is used.

{
    "require": {
        "php-forge/foxy": "^0.1"
    },
    "config": {
        "foxy": {
            "manager": "bun"
        }
    }
}

Quick start

Standard PHP project (Yii2)

In a standard PHP application, keep a package.json file at the project root. Foxy will merge asset dependencies from installed Composer packages and run the configured manager during Composer install and update.

Example (Yii2 app template):

Yii2 app template

{
    "require": {
        "php-forge/foxy": "^0.1"
    },
    "config": {
        "foxy": {
            "manager": "npm"
        }
    }
}

Drupal layout (package.json under web/)

In a typical Drupal proof-of-concept workflow, Composer stays at the repository root while frontend tooling and builds live under web/.

Foxy lets you keep that layout while still aggregating asset dependencies and running npm in the correct directory, with Composer state preserved if the install fails.

• Aggregates asset dependencies declared by Composer packages into a single npm install.
• Keeps asset tooling configuration consistent across local and CI environments.
• Restores Composer lock and PHP dependencies if npm exits with an error.
• Runs npm against the web/ package.json without moving Composer files.

{
    "config": {
        "foxy": {
            "manager": "npm",
            "root-package-json-dir": "web"
        }
    }
}
