Packagist, the Composer package archive as a service for PHP, announced today the availability of private packagist for agencies. The new feature provides per-project Composer repositories with simplified permissions for agencies and other companies who manage multiple independent Composer projects which cannot share all packages.
You can select which of your existing private packages should be available in which of your client projects and whether they should be available in new projects by default. This is great for internal packages which you reuse in your different projects. But you can also ensure that a particular package is only accessible in a single client’s projects.
Store different mirroring credentials per project
Mirroring can also be configured on a project level. So it’s now possible to enter your client’s credentials for mirroring Composer packages from third party repositories, e.g. Magento Marketplace, for that specific client’s projects only. As a consequence you can mirror packages sharing the same name from the same mirror URL using different credentials in each project. This is great when you manage packages purchased for specific clients.
Simplified team-based project access
Everyone with access to a project can always see all packages in the project. This is great so you can’t accidentally forget to grant one developer access to one specific package which they later need when running a composer update.
To grant your developers access to projects you can choose a per project access level for each team and even select a default for new projects. So if you work on a lot of projects with the same team you don’t need to configure anything when you create a new project.
Private Packagist API
If you manage a lot of projects, we even have an API to automate working with projects available. You can view the API documentation at https://packagist.com/docs/api and our client library for PHP is available at https://github.com/packagist/private-packagist-api-client including documentation as well.
Agency Add-On Pricing
The Cloud plan starting at €49/month already includes 3 projects. Additional projects are available at €14/month and include the cost for one additional developer. So if you are already paying packagist for a total of 15 developer seats, you can also create and manage 15 client projects without any additional cost!
