Install a composer package

[GhiaMar]

Hi1 I need to install a composer package for my current J! 4 development, I plan to just run composer in my component admin folder, is that the correct way?

Thanks!

Well I just figured it out. Steps:

1- Created a new lib folder inside my administrator/components/com_xxxxxx folder

2- In command line cd to that new folder then ran composer require xxxxx/xxxxxxxxx

3- Required the new dependency in file administrator/components/com_xxxxxx/services/provider.php like this:

* @license GNU General Public License version 3, or later
*/

defined('_JEXEC') or die;

require_once JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR . '/components/com_xxxxxx/lib/vendor/autoload.php';

use Joomla\CMS\Component\Router\RouterFactoryInterface;
use Joomla\CMS\Dispatcher\ComponentDispatcherFactoryInterface;

use Joomla\CMS\Extension\ComponentInterface;

...

That's it, I can now use any package installed in administrator/components/com_xxxxxx/lib
