Drupal Clean Package Composer Plugin

Removes the unnecessary files for the specific package based on the given rules.

Be careful: This plugin removes packages files. Test defined rules properly. Remove only those files which are totally unnecessary for the project needs.

Install

Require this package in your composer.json:

composer require drupal/clean_package

Examples

See example rules in examples directory. More examples are welcome to suggest. Also, the composer.clean.json file will be performed during the installation of drupal/clean_package module. So this README.md file and other unnecessary files and directories of the plugin will be removed.

Usage

This plugin will work automatically on any installed packages. You can find this plugin is helpful in case some dependencies of the project are access in the public directory of the project and contains the files that contain information that the attackers may use to determine possible vulnerabilities. By defining the rules in the root package, you can manage which files of the package need to be removed during installation.

The package needs to define one of the extra options:

• clean-file
• clean-rules

clean-file is the string value relative to the package path to the file containing the rules. The clean-file will be removed, and the other files based on the rules except for the root package.

Example of the composer.json:

    "name": "my/package",
    ...
    "extra": {
        "clean-file": "composer.clean.json"
    }

Example of the composer.clean.json:

{
    "clean-rules": {
        "some-other/package": [
            "file1.txt",
            ...
        ]
    }
}

clean-rules is the JSON object. It contains keys as the name of the package and the value as an array of strings representing the pattern or the file path of the package. See glob function documentation regarding pattern definition. If the clean-file is already defined in extra section of composer.json file, then rules defined in clean-rules would be ignored.

Example of the composer.json:

    "name": "my/package",
    ...
    "extra": {
        "clean-rules": {
            "some-other/package": [
                "file1.txt",
                ...
            ]
        }
    }
