Managing PHP function dependencies

Cloud Functions can automatically install dependencies required for a PHP function when creating a new function version.

To install dependencies, use the composer install command that runs in the project root (function directory). You can list the required libraries in the following ways:

• Specify the libraries and their versions in the composer.json file:

  {
    "require": {
      "guzzlehttp/guzzle": "~6.0",
      "ext-json": "*"
    }
  }
  

• Run the composer require <library> command in the project root. This adds the library to the composer.json file and installs it to the vendor directory.

The dependency installation process has some technical limitations. For more information, see Quotas and limits in Cloud Functions. You can view the dependency installation log via the link displayed in the list of operations.
