How can I remove a package from Laravel using PHP Composer?

Composer 1.x and 2.x

Running the following command will remove the package from vendor (or wherever you install packages), composer.json and composer.lock. Change vendor/package appropriately.

composer remove vendor/package

Obviously you’ll need to remove references to that package within your app.

I’m currently running the following version of Composer:

Composer version 1.0-dev (7b13507dd4d3b93578af7d83fbf8be0ca686f4b5) 2014-12-11 21:52:29

Documentation

https://getcomposer.org/doc/03-cli.md#remove

Updates

  • 26/10/2020 – Updated answer to assert command works for v1.x and v2.x of Composer
