Prefix vendor-dir if defined in user's composer.json to paths about installers HOT 3 CLOSED

Composer Installers actually ignores the vendor directory completely when it discovers a type that is supports. If you were to remove vendor-dir you'd notice that your moodle-block is still installed in the same place.

You can prefix/customize the install location of any dependecy that uses Composer Installers on a per-project or per-type basis using the Custom Install Paths.

For your example, you'd probably want something like this:

{
    "extra": {
        "installer-paths": {
            "custom/blocks/{$name}/": ["type:moodle-block"]
        }
    }
}

Thanks!

I don't think the default behavior should be to prefix when vendor-dir is set. Given a scenario where you have installer supported packages and traditional libraries, but you want to rename the folder for the libraries... e.g. "vendor-dir": ".vendor".

Instead, I believe it would be ideal to support {$vendor-dir} in the template transforms for the installer paths.
