Please show download count and star count in Composer Mgr

Postby uwe » November 14th, 2016, 9:05 am

Currently your "Install New Composer Packages" window does not show these information:

- Download count
- Star count
- Last update

whereas the online repository does show, e.g.:

https://packagist.org/search/?q=session
https://packagist.org/packages/illuminate/session

To me download count, star count and last update is crucial to decide whether a package is robust, stable and usable in the wild or just some hobby package abandoned long time ago.

My suggestion:

Please also show these information for each package (either in list or details):

- Download count
- Star count
- Last update

In addition, an option to sort asc/desc by any of these would be awesome.

Hello,

Thank you for feature request! This seems quite easy to implement with immediate usability effect. I'll try to propagate this to the next update.

Hello!

Thanks again for feature suggestion. We've added this + more information about the package, including notification that package is abandoned and what is the suggested replacement package in this case. We've also made this dialog much faster to load. Sorting is not there yet.

Please let us know how you like it or what would you improve ;-)

Cheers,
