WordPress Composer.json standard keys

standards-draft.md

For every bit of configuration that we might need in Composer scripts or packages, we can add extra data.

{
    "extra" : {
      "wordpress-install-dir" : "",
		  "wordpress-env-dir"     : "",
		  "bash-profile-dir"      : ""
    }
}

The problem: The more packages we have, the more messy it gets. We should set a standard as soon as possible.

Summon everything WordPress related:

{
    "extra" : {
      "wordpress" : {
        "install-dir" : "",
		    "env-dir"     : "",
		    "bash-dir"    : ""
	    }
    }
}

What names should pathes have? Should we mirror the wp-config.php constants? Underscore to Dash tranformation and all lower case characters? Example: WP_CONTENT_DIR becomes wp-content-dir, WP_DEBUG becomes wp-debug etc.

Please add your suggestions as comments or forks. I will keep this file updated with your additions.

@tarendai What I tried to say is exactly that: WP_CONTENT_DIR becomes wp-content-dir (Dash and lower case transformation). English still isn't my first language :P

Maybe it would be even better if we have a rule that removes the use of wordpress and wp as it's already clear that this is the topic. So WP_CONTENT_DIR would become just content-dir.
