composer.json install-path for custom module hosted externally? about blt HOT 2 CLOSED

The listed package types drupal-core,drupal-module, etc are all registered in https://github.com/composer/installers. This is what allows them to be mapped to specific installation paths.

I think that the example snippet you listed would actually map all packages to "sites/example.com/modules/{$name}" which would cause a lot of problems.

If you'd like to specify an install location for a custom module, you may be able to use https://github.com/mnsami/composer-custom-directory-installer. I haven't tried it myself, but I believe that you can create a composer.json in your custom module, define the type as composer, and then use this library to map the specific package to a specific directory.

Sorry, I didn't mean to use that path directly in my example I was thinking more of something like this:

"docroot/modules/custom/{$name}": [ "drupal/MY_CUSTOM_MODULE"],

thanks for the tip, I'll check that out.
