Composer-REPL
A Composer plugin that provides a PHP REPL using PsySH for interactive development and debugging.
What is Composer-REPL?
ramsey/composer-repl is a Composer plugin that adds a `composer repl` command, providing a PHP REPL (read-eval-print loop) powered by PsySH. It enables developers to interactively test code, debug, and explore their PHP projects directly from the terminal, integrating seamlessly into local development workflows.
PHP developers working on local development environments who want an integrated interactive shell for testing, debugging, and prototyping within their Composer-based projects.
Developers choose this over standalone REPL tools because it integrates directly into Composer as a plugin, requiring no separate installation, and offers environment bootstrapping to load project-specific scripts and configurations into the REPL session.
