    Hello,

    I'm following https://docs.metabox.io/composer/ to install metabox via composer (and that's very nice!) but I hoped that I could use metabox as a library like in the link example.

    Instead of being installed in vendo/wpmetabox/meta-box like one would expect, it is installed as a plugin.

    Am I doing something wrong, or metabox is only meant to be installed as a plugin?
    I also want to install (paid) metabox plugins, so my question extends to those.

    I'm using bedrock, I don't know if it matters.

    Thank you

    Hi,

    Please watch this video to install the plugin Meta Box and free extensions via composer as libraries inside a custom plugin.

    Fore premium extensions, please follow this documentation https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/composer/. You can also download the file composer.json in here to get full extensions.

    Thank you for your answer.

    I followed the documentation link you provided but I can't seems to make it work as a library for my theme (not for a custom plugin).

    Is there some resource or example of doing this?

    Hi,

    Please see my screen record https://www.loom.com/share/cc9c10981c964dcaaf61aa597dda9cc9.

    I've created a file composer.json in a theme folder, run the command composer install then require the file vendor/autoload.php in the file functions.php. It works as well as a library.

    {
  "repositories":[
    {
      "type": "composer",
      "url": "https://wpackagist.org"
    }
  ],
  "require": {
    "wpackagist-plugin/meta-box": "dev-trunk"
  },
  "extra": {
    "installer-paths": {
      "vendor/meta-box/meta-box": ["wpackagist-plugin/meta-box"]
    }
  },
  "autoload": {
    "files": [
      "vendor/meta-box/meta-box/meta-box.php"
    ]
  }
}
