Composer Bundler

Composer Bundler is a lightweight PHP web application that allows you to generate and download vendor/ bundles from a composer.json file without requiring Composer CLI on your local machine.

This is especially useful for users who cannot install Composer locally but still need to build and ship dependencies.

🆕 What's New (Bundled Composer Version)

Starting from the latest version, Composer Bundler no longer depends on a globally installed Composer CLI.

Instead:

• The application uses a local composer.phar file included inside the project.
• No system-wide Composer installation is required.
• No dependency on $PATH configuration.
• Improved portability and easier deployment.

This makes the application fully self-contained and more secure in restricted hosting environments.

✨ Features

• Paste your composer.json in the web UI
• Automatically runs composer install using the bundled composer.phar
• Packages the vendor/ directory into a ZIP file
• Download-ready bundle with autoload support
• Fully self-contained (no global Composer required)
• Easy to self-host:
  • Works on any Linux/macOS machine with PHP installed
  • Can be run using the built-in PHP development server or deployed on Apache/Nginx

⚠️ Requirements

• PHP 8.1+
• shell_exec() enabled
• Linux, macOS, or any system capable of running PHP

Composer CLI is NOT required anymore.
