怎么让composer加速

composer install 为什么这么慢？

下面是一个composer install（在没有composer cache的情况下）做的所有事情：

[vagrant@localhost composer]$ ../composer_git/bin/composer install -vvv
Reading ./composer.json

Writing lock file
Generating autoload files

composer 在install的时候会做这几个事情:

• 去packagist.org中寻找对应需要的包的版本信息和下载地址
  
• 循环下载对应的包
  
• 解压安装对应的包

我们平时使用composer慢就可能在第一步和第二步出现慢。而第三步，由于php的版本或者依赖限制，也有可能安装失败。
第一步中的packagist.org保存了所有的第三方包的信息。要把这个信息文件从国外的网站拉取下来，这个本身就可能非常慢。
第二步获取了包信息之后，我们就需要把相关的包获取下来，这个时候如果包所在的地址(现在大多数包都放在github上了)访问非常慢，那么这一步就会非常慢了。

解决慢的办法有几个：
1 使用国内镜像。

• (http://pkg.phpcomposer.com/repo/packagist/)[http://pkg.phpcomposer.com]
  
• (http://comproxy.cn/repo/packagist)[https://phphub.org/topics/57]
  
• (https://toran.reimu.io/repo/packagist/)[https://toran.reimu.io/]

2 我们可以不可以自己搭建镜像呢？

可以的，这里有个开源项目(toran proxy)[https://toranproxy.com/]可以配合nginx很方便搭建属于自己的composer镜像。

自己的第三方包

还有一种需求，公司现在开发了一个第三方包，但是不希望开源到packagist.org上，只希望给自己公司内部使用。怎么办？

这个可以使用composer代理(satis)[https://github.com/composer/satis]来创建。搭建的方式也是非常简单的。其实上面说的toran proxy就是基于satis来创建的。

satis和toran的区别就是，satis只是做了代理，即将composer install的第一步做了替换，而toran则是将composer install的第一步和第二步都进行了替换。

结论

至此之后，再无composer install 慢的问题。
