About

Packagist is the default package repository for PHP's Composer dependency manager, hosting hundreds of thousands of open-source PHP libraries and packages. Developers can define dependencies in a composer.json file and install them with a single command. Package authors can publish their own libraries to make them publicly available to the PHP community.

Problem

PHP developers need a centralized place to discover, share, and manage third-party library dependencies for their projects.

For

PHP developers and package authors

How it works

Developers define dependencies in a composer.json file, and Composer resolves and installs them from Packagist's package registry; package authors publish their libraries by submitting a public VCS repository URL.
