Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 7.4 or higher
- Composer

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install via Composer:

```
composer require abramcatalyst/php-cli-tools
```

Or add to your `composer.json`:

```
{
    "require": {
        "abramcatalyst/php-cli-tools": "^1.0"
    }
}
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

After installation, the CLI tools will be available in `vendor/bin/`:

```
# Using vendor/bin directly
./vendor/bin/uuid
./vendor/bin/hash mypassword
./vendor/bin/jwt '{"id":1}'
./vendor/bin/timestamp
./vendor/bin/base64tool encode "Hello"
./vendor/bin/slug "Hello World"
./vendor/bin/password 16
```

Or if you have Composer's bin directory in your PATH, you can use them directly:

```
uuid
hash mypassword
jwt '{"id":1}'
timestamp
base64tool encode "Hello"
slug "Hello World"
password 16
```

### UUID Generator

[](#uuid-generator)

Generate a UUID v4:

```
vendor/bin/uuid
# Output: 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000
```

### Password Hasher

[](#password-hasher)

Hash a password using bcrypt:

```
vendor/bin/hash mypassword
# Output: $2y$10$...

# With custom cost (4-31):
vendor/bin/hash mypassword 12
```

### JWT Maker

[](#jwt-maker)

Create a JWT token:

```
# With default secret
vendor/bin/jwt '{"id":1,"name":"John"}'

# With custom secret
vendor/bin/jwt '{"id":1,"name":"John"}' my-secret-key
```

### Timestamp Converter

[](#timestamp-converter)

Convert timestamps to dates or dates to timestamps:

```
# Show current timestamp and date
vendor/bin/timestamp

# Convert timestamp to date
vendor/bin/timestamp 1700000000
# Output: 2023-11-14 22:13:20

# Convert date to timestamp
vendor/bin/timestamp "2023-11-14 22:13:20"
# Output: 1700000000
```

### Base64 Tool

[](#base64-tool)

Encode or decode base64:

```
# Encode
vendor/bin/base64tool encode "Hello World"
# Output: SGVsbG8gV29ybGQ=

# Decode
vendor/bin/base64tool decode "SGVsbG8gV29ybGQ="
# Output: Hello World
```

### Slugify Tool

[](#slugify-tool)

Convert text to a URL-friendly slug:

```
vendor/bin/slug "Hello World!"
# Output: hello-world

vendor/bin/slug "This is a Test!!!"
# Output: this-is-a-test
```

### Random Password Generator

[](#random-password-generator)

Generate a secure random password:

```
# Default length (16 characters)
vendor/bin/password

# Custom length (1-128 characters)
vendor/bin/password 32
```
