Composer

Symlinking the API
Problem: changes made to API code are not reflected in requests, or running composer update yields a message stating that there is nothing to do.
Verify that you have cloned the API to your ~/Sites directory.
Verify that you are running the command composer update elentrapackages/elentra-1x-api after you have run composer install.
Verify that you have a composer-api-dev.json file in the root of your elentra-1x-me project.
Verify the following in your composer-api-dev.json file:
That the value for [BRANCH_NAME] matches the name of the branch that you currently have checked out in the API.
That the value for url points to the correct path that you cloned the API into.
{
  "repositories": [
      {
          "type": "path",
          "url": "../elentra-1x-api",
          "options": {
              "symlink": true
          }
      }
  ],
  "require": {
      "elentrapackages/elentra-1x-api": "dev-[BRANCH_NAME]"
  }
}
