Develop WordPress as a Modern PHP Project with Composer

WordPress is popular because it's easy to setup without much technical know-how. However, to build a more robust PHP project with command line deployments, updates and ongoing maintenance, working with WordPress out-of-the-box raises specific challenges:

• How can we make our WordPress projects portable between developers?

icanhazstring

Based on @ocramius Handling optional input parameters in PHP with vimeo/psalm and azjezz/psl I tried to use the same approach for out API implementation also with shared SDK DTOs.

Using the same OptionalField given from ocramius, we can leverage that to add optional fields into the json serialized response. This way we also add the ability to work with

• absent values
• adding/updating values
• or removal of values

Given an example

## Version 0.0.2
{
  "require": {
  }
}

## Version 0.0.14
{
  "require": {
    "symfony/config": "^4.4 || ^5.4"

How to archive only composer require-dev with all their dependencies

To optimize our CI builds we wanted to split our production dependencies from out dev dependencies. So that we would aquire two seperate archives which could be deployed seperatley.

For production we would only deploy production.tar.gz for testing we would deploy require.tar.gz and require-dev.tar.gz.

Unfortunately composer only comes with the composer install/update -no-dev that would ignore installation of dev dependencies.

Currently we are running two composer install while moving the vendor/ into vendor_prod/ and so forth using rsync to find the differenc between prod and dev installation and creating the proper tar balls. Sadly this creates a huge IO load.
