Sds Dojo¶

Sds Dojo is a very small helper library for installing the Dojo javascript framework and several other third party dojo packages via composer.

Dojo packages are not available on http://packagist.com, so to use them, you will need to add the following to your project’s root composer.json:

"repositories": [{ "type": "composer", "url": "https://raw.github.com/superdweebie/dojo/master" }]

Requireing Dojo¶

To require dojo, add the following to your composer.json:

"require": {
    "dojo/dojo"   : "1.8.3",
    "dojo/dijit"  : "1.8.3",
    "dojo/dojox"  : "1.8.3",
    "dojo/util"   : "1.8.3"
}

Alternately, you can use this for shorthand. It has the same effect as the require above:

"require": {
    "superdweebie/dojo" : "1.8.3"
}

Running composer.phar will create and fill the following directories:

vendor/dojo/dojo
vendor/dojo/dijit
vendor/dojo/dojox
vendor/dojo/util

Using Dojo¶

This composer install places dojo in your vendor directory, which should not be publically accessable. So, how do you make dojo available to your client?

In a development environment, it is recomended you expose the vendor/dojo directory in one of two ways:

VirtualHosts configuration.
Symlink

In a production environment, it is not recomended you expose the vendor/dojo directory. Instead, build dojo (which you should be doing anyway) and place your built dojo in a publically accessable location.

Third Party Packages¶

This will install sijit to vendor/dojo/Sds
