Forum How to remove packages in case copying the same project

posted 5 years ago

I am looking if the is any way to remove the package as we do using composer...

I have a project which I think my other project could have similar features except for a few of them. So I could copy the project and separately design on a certain point and work differently.

Or, I just need to delete the package. So how to solve it...

I have installed PHP markdown for comments. https://packagist.org/packages/michelf/php-markdown And this is how we do it..

composer require michelf/php-markdown

Is it possible to remove if I do not requires it anymore or just want to use a different one? Because finding each of the files would take a lot of time...

Once all the usages of classes belonging to the installed package have been removed, including aliases and service provider registration, a simlke composer remove vendor/package will do it. All composer packages are in the vendor folder. You should never modify it yourself. The content of the folder is ignored in git, so modifications will not be visible to your coworkers.
