What is the difference between composer in ballerina and composer used for laravel installation?

186 Views Asked by At

I have installed the ballerina-tools-0.95.6 some days ago. It uses composer to provide a browser based developer tool. Now I try to install laravel. The instalation guide directs me to install composer and use that to install laravel. Now I have a confusion. Are both composers same or different? If both are different ,then what are the differences?What are the roles of these both composers?

They're two completely different things. :)

Ballerina and PHP are different programming languages. While both have tools called "composer", the Ballerina Composer is a browser-based Ballerina program manager, and the PHP Composer is a dependency manager for PHP.

Laravel is built in PHP and has absolutely nothing to do with Ballerina. The composer you want is available here: https://getcomposer.org
