Framework Support

Composer Update Helper automatically detects your framework and respects version constraints to prevent breaking updates.

Symfony

Respects extra.symfony.require in composer.json:

{
    "extra": {
        "symfony": {
            "require": "8.0.*"
        }
    }
}

Laravel

Automatically detects laravel/framework version and limits all laravel/* and illuminate/* packages:

{
    "require": {
        "laravel/framework": "^12.0"
    }
}

Other Frameworks

Framework	Core Package	Limited Packages
Yii	yiisoft/yii2	yiisoft/*
CakePHP	cakephp/cakephp	cakephp/*
Laminas	laminas/laminas-mvc	laminas/*
CodeIgniter	codeigniter4/framework	codeigniter4/*
