justified in being irritated by composer install for CI4?

As a concept i like the idea of composer and approach to dependencies but there are bits that irritate me.
Packagist usually was my first port of call since its a repo of available stuff  that you can get via composer. If you go to packagist
[/url]
its quoting

Code:

composer create-project codeigniter4/framework

i've set up my system using 

Code:

mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

are various ways to use composer. I guess you could have the necessary entries with appropriate code to download. and options at packagist. is it fair to say that if your not quoting the composer code there is there any point in having it listed on packagist?

So let me answer myself and say, well if you g oto the docs you will see this :

Code:

composer create-project codeigniter4/appstarter -s rc --no-dev

ok thats fair i now how to use that , so i did. But have a look and see what i got (see attached image)

On the left side of the image  is a nice structure i want to see and its at path

Code:

/home/andrew/Desktop/CI4/app/

but hand on looking inside at path

Code:

/home/andrew/Desktop/CI4/vendor/codeigniter4/framework/app/

i have whats in the image on the right section. It looks to me duplication. Whats going on?


in image  CI4_manual_setup you will see what i have in /var/www/htdocs/CI this im fairly happy with. I have bootstrap setup and fontawesome with gulpfile.js so that i end up with a custom css still giving me all the benefits of bootstrap4. But lets get back to composer. its not a structure that i really want to work with. Is it something i'm doing wrong ?
gulpfile.js and scss so that I can use  sass

Not sure I understand what issue you have with this.  This seems correct to me.  Your "project" psr-4 autoloads the CI4 system libs which are located in vendor/coneigniter4/framework/system.  You can ignore the "app" in vendor/codeigniter4/framework.

Generally, I pretty much just ignore everything in 'vendor' as everything I need should get autoloaded from there anyway. So it's something I do not even really think about.

See attached screenshot.

basically there is something wrong if something is downloaded, that is not needed and should just be ignored ? i'm not even that much of a jobs worthy !

Well, I would not say it's -not needed-, just you don't really need to concern yourself with it. Composer uses the app directory in vendor as a skeleton to create your project with the "create-project" command. The composer vendor directory is a per-project library directory. Whatever an author chooses to include with their package is what gets pulled in via composer.

vendor/codeigniter4/framework/app is there in case there have been changes in the app folder that you need to incorporate into your app folder. These are pointed out in the release notes for a version. This approach doesn't clobber anything of yours, and provides a reference for an "unadulterated" app folder. I would not say this is not useful.

if there is a reason, thats fair enough . 

So to summarize
1) i don't need to add something like 

Code:

require_once('vendor/autoload.php');

to bootstrap index.php file , because  everythig i need is auto loaded for me already.

2) I can basically ignore app in vendor ; if it confuses me ( i do like to poke around code) I could take out app and put it on my desktop as a reference

just had a look at up in /var/www/htdocs/CI , all my other additional stuff like bootstrap4, gulp dependencies like

Code:

"gulp-concat": "^2.6.1",

etc is listed and taken care of via package,json
