Hi Björn,

At this time, we are not introducing Composer support for WHMCS extensibility layers (modules, themes, etc). The WHMCS Update utility, which is used to update a WHMCS installation, is based on top of Composer. Because of this, there is a risk that direct usage of Composer within the directory that contains a WHMCS installation can break core functionality. Yes, it is technically feasible to use Composer within a WHMCS installation; there's even a forum post or two about this. However there are some notable complexities and caveats...and those community discussions do not involve Composer\Installers. As such, we do not provide any official support or guidance at this time.

We find this proposal interesting but must unfortunately decline the change at this time. We will contact you directly for a more in-depth discussion and to understand any concerns you may have.

Thanks!
