This package can update composer packages while an application runs.

It can update packages for a project using composer in a separate working directory so the update may run while the application runs.

In the end, this package can replace the old vendor directory with a new vendor directory created by the composer tool during the current update.

Composer is a popular tool many PHP developers use to define which packages they need in their projects. The composer tool can install those packages and any other dependent packages.

When a project's packages are updated, the composer tool can retrieve the new versions and update the project environment with those new ones.

Updating a project with new package versions may take a long time if a project is complex and needs many packages with a new version.

Updating a project with the new package versions in a production environment may cause the application to break since the composer cannot update all packages simultaneously.

This package provides an alternative solution to update the new versions of packages of a project in a way that does not cause the application to break.

It creates a new project vendor directory in a working directory. In the end, this package replaces the old vendor directory with the new vendor directory that has the updated versions of the project's packages.

'providers' => [

    /*
    * Application Service Providers...
    */

    JaguarSoft\LaravelComposer\ServiceProvider::class,
