This package acts as composer plugin in order to download and install TYPO3 core and extensions and put them into a directory structure which is suitable for TYPO3 to work correctly.

The behavior of the installer can be influenced by configuration in the extra section of the root composer.json.

    "extra": {
        "typo3/cms": {
            "extension-key": "bootstrap_package"
        }
    }

Specifies the extension key. This is mandatory and extensions will stop to work with version 4 of this package if not provided properly.

A warning is show by Composer if this key is missing in a extension.

    "extra": {
        "typo3/cms": {
            "web-dir": "public"
        }
    }

You can specify a relative path from the base directory, where the public document root should be located.

The default value is "public", which means a "public" directory at the same level as your root composer.json.
