How to Get the Project Name Using Composer

When working on PHP projects, managing dependencies can become quite challenging. Composer is a widely used tool in the PHP community that simplifies dependency management. However, you might find yourself wanting to extract specific information, like the name of the current project, without additional clutter. In this guide, we'll show you how to achieve just that using Composer commands.

Understanding the Need

You may often want to display just the project's name for documentation or verification purposes. Why show unnecessary details when all you need is a concise output? Luckily, with a few simple commands, Composer allows you to tailor the output to your preference.
