I am learning WordPress Plugin development. I am going to submit the plugin in wordpress.org.
In this regard how can I use Composer in my plugin ?
When should I run composer install ? Should I run command before submit ?

You are using composer to install libraries for your project, that you later use in your code, so yes, you should run and use composer during development, finish your whole code, and then you can submit your plugin with final code.
When you first submit your plugin, WordPress team is evaluating your code in terms of security, good practices etc. so the code you are submitting should be your final, working and tested code.

Thanks @mWin. That mean's I'll run
composer installat the time of plugin development. After that I'll package up the result and submit to wordpress.org. Right ? I read this post wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/352863/….– FoysalCommented Aug 7 at 9:15 -
1@Foysal yes, when you will submit code to WordPress you put it on SVN, and you can run composer install on SVN, also you do not want to put development files on SVN (this will increase package size). On SVN you should send production ready code. So composer install should be run locally, npm/yarn install if you are using React also should be executed before you put code on SVN.– mWinCommented Aug 13 at 13:54
