Cannot install via composer

[roborourke]

Hi, the installation instructions mention being able to install using composer require rtcamp/carousel-kit however it looks like you haven't published it to packagist.org yet.

This is looking very promising and exactly the type of thing I was considering putting together over at HM :)

Hi @roborourke,
You're right, we haven't published the plugin to the WordPress.org repository yet, so it isn't available on WPackagist.

While we work on the official .org submission, you can install it via Composer by adding the GitHub repository to your composer.json manually:

"repositories": [
    {
        "type": "vcs",
        "url": "https://github.com/rtCamp/carousel-kit"
    }
]

Then run:
composer require rtcamp/carousel-kit:^1.0

We’ll update the documentation once the official WordPress.org/WPackagist link is live!

Thank you

Thanks, @theMasudRana. I believe @roborourke's suggestion was that it could be published to packagist.org (the non-WP-specific directory) in parallel to the main plugin submission process.

We use wpackagist quite heavily, but requiring with composer from rtcamp/carousel-kit should be just as viable as wpackagist-plugin/carousel-kit and shouldn't be mutually exclusive.

This was mainly because it’s documented in the readme without the part about needing to define the repository, at least at the time I created this!
