Does EE4 have Composer support? https://getcomposer.org/
(This is not the same as the Visual Composer plugin that often gets mentioned in your forums.)

Hi, that platform does not appear familiar. What might be a use case for it?

Composer is a development tool that assists with the setting up and maintaining WordPress sites. Premium plugins often have a URL available to download the plugin without having to log in and download it manually. See https://deliciousbrains.com/wp-migrate-db-pro/doc/installing-via-composer/
This is probably a question for some technical folks.

Hello again iplus,
Thanks for explaining further. I checked with the development team and Event Espresso 4 does not support Composer.

Hi iplus,
One of the devs here. Composer is a great tool and I use it for a number of projects internally.
One of the reasons why EE4 does not have composer support is because with the initial release of EE4 we supported PHP5.2 (which was and is still the minimum PHP version supported by WordPress). In the past year we dropped support for PHP5.2 which of course opens the doors to eventually building in composer support.
Personally, I am interested in adding support because that will make it easier to manage the third party libraries we integrate with. However, there is no eta on this because with composer being primarily a developer facing tool, there are other more user facing features that take higher priority at the moment.

Oh I should add, in the meantime iplus, we do have a private github repo that we open up to people who ask. You can do so here.
Please be aware however, that we usually require people requesting access to have an active support license and/or be working with a client who has an active support license. We also give consideration to third party developers who are building integrations with EE.

Awesome… Thanks Darren! Understandable that it’s not a high priority… I’ll be putting in a request for access next week once we purchase EE (we have a couple other clients on the platform as well)!
