If you do not know what that is or how it works, I recommend that you read a little about, before attempting to use this package. Quick start ----------- [](#quick-start) ``` use Aedart\Installed\Version\Reader; $reader = new Reader(); echo $reader->getVersion('amce/rocket-computer'); // Example output 1.22.4 ... 1.0.x-dev, or Unknown if unable to find / read package version ``` The default `Reader` component attempts to fetch the version from composer's `installed.json` file, which should be found inside your local or global vendor. If the reader does not find the desired package there, it will look for the `composer.json` file in the current workign directory. If it matches the desired package, it attempts reading the version from it (or it's [branch-alias](https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/aliases.md)). Lastly, if nothing was found `Unknown` is returned. **Tip**: You should cache the version because "guessing" the version does come at some cost. Reading files, decoding them, looping through them...etc. Future versions --------------- [](#future-versions) In a future version of this package, I will attempt to improve performance as well as the correctness of how to obtain the correct version number of a installed package. If you know how to, please feel free to submit one or two pull requests. Contribution ------------ [](#contribution) Have you found a defect ( [bug or design flaw](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_bug) ), or do you wish improvements? In the following sections, you might find some useful information on how you can help this project. In any case, I thank you for taking the time to help me improve this project's deliverables and overall quality. ### Bug Report [](#bug-report) If you are convinced that you have found a bug, then at the very least you should create a new issue. In that given issue, you should as a minimum describe the following; - Where is the defect located - A good, short and precise description of the defect (Why is it a defect) - How to replicate the defect - (*A possible solution for how to resolve the defect*) When time permits it, I will review your issue and take action upon it. ### Fork, code and send pull-request [](#fork-code-and-send-pull-request) A good and well written bug report can help me a lot. Nevertheless, if you can or wish to resolve the defect by yourself, here is how you can do so; - Fork this project - Create a new local development branch for the given defect-fix - Write your code / changes - Create executable test-cases (prove that your changes are solid!) - Commit and push your changes to your fork-repository - Send a pull-request with your changes - *Drink a [Beer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer) - you earned it* :) As soon as I receive the pull-request (*and have time for it*), I will review your changes and merge them into this project. If not, I will inform you why I choose not to.
