# The Composer Method (Deprecated)

List of needed libraries for Varbase used packages with Composer.

Moving to have a better and more dynamic way of managing `drupal-library` packages as libraries.

***

Use `"vardot/varbase-libraries": "~10.0.0"`

> with **Varbase `~10.0.0`** and **Drupal `~10`**

#### Managing Only Local Libraries in Projects <a href="#managing-only-local-libraries-in-projects" id="managing-only-local-libraries-in-projects"></a>

In case of needing to manage project's local libraries only.

* Moving to a better drupal libraries management with Varbase
* As a step to remove the use of **asset-packagist.org** in Varbase

***

NO libraries **for Varbase \~10.0.0**

> With **Drupal 10/11** : Use the `"vardot/varbase-libraries": "10.0.0.0"` static version to have no libraries and manage local libraries in the project with a copy of libraries from <https://github.com/Vardot/varbase-libraries/blob/10.0.x/composer.json> or NPM/YARN

***

#### Advanced: Merge `composer.libraries.json` from `vardot/varbase-libraries` in `vendor/` <a href="#advanced-merge-composer.libraries.json-from-vardot-varbase-libraries-in-vendor" id="advanced-merge-composer.libraries.json-from-vardot-varbase-libraries-in-vendor"></a>

For projects that want full control over which libraries are included, without relying on `asset-packagist.org`, you can merge the libraries directly from the `vardot/varbase-libraries` package using [`wikimedia/composer-merge-plugin`](https://github.com/wikimedia/composer-merge-plugin).

**Setup Steps**

1. **Install the merge plugin:**

```bash
composer require wikimedia/composer-merge-plugin:~2
```

2. **Add merge configuration to your root `composer.json`**

<pre class="language-json"><code class="lang-json"><strong>"extra": {
</strong>  "merge-plugin": {
    "include": [
      "vendor/vardot/varbase-libraries/composer.libraries.json"
    ],
    "recurse": true,
    "replace": false,
    "merge-dev": false
  }
}
</code></pre>
