Using variables in composer

In my composer.json I have the following:

"repositories": [        

    {

        "type": "package",

        "package": {

            "name": "aaemnnosttv/wordpress-core-phpunit-includes",

            "type": "wordpress-tests-core",

            "version": "5.0.2",

            "source": {

                "type": "svn",

                "url": "https://develop.svn.wordpress.org/",

                "reference": "tags/5.0.2/tests/phpunit/includes/"

            },

            "require": {

                "aaemnnosttv/wordpress-tests-core-installer": "~0.1"

            }

        }

    }

],

"require": {

    "aaemnnosttv/wordpress-core-phpunit-includes": "5.0.2"

}

Unfortunately I have to repeat myself in specifying the version of the package. Once in the "version" line, once in the "reference" line and once in the "aaemnnosttv/wordpress-core-phpunit-includes" line.

Is there a way of using a composer variable so that I don't have to repeat myself?

It's a JSON configuration file so I cannot imagine that's possible.

composer file is json and JSON does not allow variable referencing.

but because you are using PHP tag in your question, I suggest a example for handle it, maybe it can help you.

create php file to set array of environments of composer.

$variable = "aaemnnosttv/wordpress-core-phpunit-includes";

$version = "5.0.2";

$composer = [

    "repositories" => [

        [

            "type" => "package",

            "package" => [

                "name" => $variable

                // whatever is in

            ]

        ]

    ],

    "require"=>[

            $variable => $version

    ]

];

then save the array as json in composer.json file.

file_put_contents('compose.josn', json_encode($composer));

if your want to just edit composer file you must read it and the edit:

$composer = json_decode(file_get_contents('compose.josn', true));



$variable = "aaemnnosttv/wordpress-core-phpunit-includes";

$version = "5.0.2";

$composer["repositories"][0]["package"]["name"] = $variable;

$composer["require"][$variable] = $version;
