Thanks to Big Blue Door for sponsoring my time to work on this.

Not so sure about this, is this fixing the version that will get installed? It means that it will need to be updated each time. Maybe we need to look at the composer merge plugin that some modules like webform or maybe use asset packagist instead?

[markconroy]

It's fixing the version, yes, but there's hasn't been a new version in about 2 years so we probably won't be under too much pressure.

Hi Andy, any further thoughts on this, or are we okay to approve it?

Stimulating a wider discussion on how to manage libraries like this.

• composer merge plugin
• composer asset packagist (https://asset-packagist.org/)
• specific repositories like above.

@andybroomfield thinks that most are moving to composer merge.

@Adnan-cds mentioned :

While considering the Dropzonejs module, please consider this: https://www.drupal.org/project/dropzonejs/issues/3316184

[finnlewis]

@andybroomfield is up for taking this forward:

• this might need to all be in the localgov_project

Drafting the composer merge plugin method here localgovdrupal/localgov_project#173

@finnlewis @markconroy let's try to push this up tomorrow - it's reliant a beta library that's 4 years old and I feel like this is good enough to try

Discussing in Merge Tuesday:

@stephen-cox leaning towards composer-merge plugin rather than the npm asset packagist

@Adnan-cds is suggesting the approach here, but changing it a little to avoid specifying the dist and version, rather targeting the git repo and allow us to require a more open constraint.

Note: we really want to align on a preferred solution for LocalGov Drupal in general.

@stephen-cox points out that if we do require the libraries in the project composer.json, end users can decide whether to override this approach or not. So for us, we define our libraries in the localgov_project composer.json and remove the specific library definition here.
