- Recipes also can be used as a base composer project.
- A `require-recipe` command to inline a recipe into the root composer.json, allowing the developer to customise the
recipe dependencies without mandating the inclusion of all requirements directly.
- An `upgrade-recipe` command to upgrade to a newer version of a recipe.
- An `update-recipe` command to upgrade to a newer version of a recipe.

Alternatively, instead of having to install the recipe-plugin manually, you can require the recipe
directly and inline this as a subsequent command. This is necessary to make the new commands available
to the command line.
Alternatively you can create a new project based on an existing recipe

```shell
$ composer create-project silverstripe/recipe-cms ./myssproject ^1.0@dev
```

## Inlining recipes

You can "inline" either a previously installed recipe, or a new one that you would like to include
dependencies for in your main project. By inlining a recipe, you promote its requirements, as well as
its project files, up into your main project, and remove the recipe itself from your dependencies.

This can be done with either `update-recipe`, which will update a recipe, or `require-recipe` which will
install a new recipe.

Note that if you with to run this command you must first install either a recipe via normal composer
commands, or install the recipe plugin:

```shell
$ composer init
$ composer require silverstripe/recipe-cms ^4.0@dev
$ composer upgrade-recipe silverstripe/recipe-cms
$ composer require silverstripe/recipe-plugin ^0.1
$ composer require-recipe silverstripe/recipe-cms ^1.0@dev
```

Alternatively you can create a new project based on an existing recipe
or

```shell
$ composer create-project silverstripe/recipe-cms ./myssproject ^4.0@dev
$ composer init
$ composer require silverstripe/recipe-cms ^1.0@dev
$ composer update-recipe silverstripe/recipe-cms
```

## Upgrading recipes
## Removing recipe dependencies or files

Any existing recipe, whether installed via `composer require` or `composer require-recipe` can be safely upgraded
via `composer upgrade-recipe`.
Any project file installed via a recipe, or any module installed by inlining a recipe, can be easily removed.
Subsequent updates to this recipe will not re-install any of those files or dependencies.

When upgrading a version constraint is recommended, but not necessary. If omitted, then the existing installed
version will be detected, and a safe default chosen.
In order to ensure this, a record of all inlined modules, and all installed files are stored in composer.json
as below.

```shell
$ composer upgrade-recipe silverstripe/recipe-cms ^1.0@dev
```json
{
"extra": {
"project-files-installed": [
"mysite/code/Page.php",
"mysite/code/PageController.php"
],
"project-dependencies-installed": {
"silverstripe/admin": "1.0.x-dev",
"silverstripe/asset-admin": "1.0.x-dev",
"silverstripe/campaign-admin": "1.0.x-dev"
}
}
}
```

To remove a file, simply delete it from the folder your project is installed in, but don't modify
`project-files-installed` (as this is how composer knows what not to re-install).
Likewise to remove a module, use `composer remove <module>` and it will be removed. As above, don't
modify `project-dependencies-instaleld`, otherwise that module will be re-installed on subsequent
`composer update-recipe`.

## Un-doing a deleted project file / dependency

If you have deleted a module or file and want to re-install it you should remove the appropriate
entry from either 'project-files-installed' or 'project-dependencies-installed' and then run
`composer update-recipe <recipe>` again.

The file or module will be re-installed.

## Removing recipes

As installation of a recipe inlines all dependencies and passes ownership to the root project,
there is no automatic removal process. To remove a recipe, you should manually remove any
required module that is no longer desired via `composer remove <module>`.

The `provide` reference to the recipe can also be safely removed, although it has no practical result
other than to disable future calls to `upgrade-recipe` on this recipe.
