ID

The id entry contains the identifier of the package. It typically consists of an optional group name, a forward slash separator, and the required package name, formatted like this:

                $metadata["id"] = "valvoid/fusion";
            

However, the example above is only a subset of the following criteria:

• The optional namespace prefix can include up to 4 group names.
• Segments are separated by a forward slash.
• Must pass the regex ^[a-z_][a-z0-9_]{0,20}(\/[a-z_][a-z0-9_]{0,20}){0,4}$.
• Each segment:
  • Starts with lowercase alphabetic character or underscore.
  • May consists of lowercase alphabetic characters, underscore or digits.
  • Is between 1 and 20 characters long.

Name

The name entry contains the name of the package. A short, descriptive label for the package, such as:

                $metadata["name"] = "Fusion";
            

Description

The description entry contains a detailed explanation of the package. A summary of the package's purpose and functionality, such as:

                $metadata["description"] = "A package manager for PHP-based projects.";
