I'm using packagist.org to publish some custom php packages in order to be installable (or rather required) via composer, but I have this some packages that require some build steps (for compiling CSS/JS).
The build process is done via github actions, on every tag release, and it spits a zip file. Like it is here: https://github.com/iamntz/carbon-fields-urlpicker/releases/latest
The goal here would be to have users to run composer require iamntz/carbon-fields-urlpicker and use the carbon-fields-urlpicker.zip within the release, not the git tag of that release.
Note that I'm aware of using composer by requiring the full URL of a zip. That's not what I'm looking, as it makes the installation process more cumbersome than it should.
I know that CSS/JS shouldn't sit into a php package, but it is what it is. If this changes anything, let's say we need to replace something on the PHP code before release.
It seems that you can actually specify the ... dist key into your composer file and packagist will just pick up that instead!
You can see it here how it works:
