Composer JSON Generator

Composer JSON Generator asks for Package name, Description, Minimum PHP, License and shows a Composerjson result after Generate composer.json. “northwind/recipes on PHP 8.2” returns “Composerjson: northwind/recipes requires PHP >=8.2”. “A different vendor and PHP 8.3” returns “Composerjson: dock/labels requires PHP >=8.3”. Full first result: Composerjson: northwind/recipes requires PHP >=8.2 --- { "name": "northwind/recipes", "description": "Recipe helpers", "license": "MIT", "require": { "php": ">=8.2" } }

Formula / how it works

Example “northwind/recipes on PHP 8.2” sets Package name = northwind/recipes; Description = Recipe helpers; Minimum PHP = 8.2; License = MIT.

Composerjson returns this exact text:

Composerjson: northwind/recipes requires PHP >=8.2
---
{
"name": "northwind/recipes",
"description": "Recipe helpers",
"license": "MIT",
"require": {
"php": ">=8.2"
}
}

The name must be vendor/package.

Example “A different vendor and PHP 8.3” sets Package name = dock/labels; Description = Label printer; Minimum PHP = 8.3; License = Apache-2.0.

Composerjson returns this exact text:

Composerjson: dock/labels requires PHP >=8.3
---
{
"name": "dock/labels",
"description": "Label printer",
"license": "Apache-2.0",
"require": {
"php": ">=8.3"
}
}

require.php is a >= constraint.
