bakgul/kernel
=============

This is a helper package, and it isn't meant to be used independently. That being said, it contains some nice helper classes to deal with the file system, strings, arrays, naming conventions, etc. If you need such functionalities, you may find this package helpful. On the other hand, its real purpose is to collect some classes and methods that are being used by multiple packages that are part of Packagified Laravel.

Kernel
======

[](#kernel)

This is a helper package, and it isn't meant to be used independently. That being said, it contains some nice helper classes to deal with the file system, strings, arrays, naming conventions, etc. If you need such functionalities, you may find this package helpful.

On the other hand, its real purpose is to collect some classes and methods that are being used by multiple packages that are part of [**Packagified Laravel**](https://github.com/bulentAkgul/packagified-laravel)

#### DISCLAIMER

[](#disclaimer)

It should be production-ready but hasn't been tested enough. You should use it carefully since this package will manipulate your files and folders. Always use a version-control, and make sure you have [**File History**](https://github.com/bulentAkgul/file-history) to be able to roll back the changes.

### Major Changes v2

[](#major-changes-v2)

- Arry and Text helpers renamed as Arr and Str and both extended to Laravel's Arr and Str helper classes. Some methods renamed because of the name collusion. Arr helper methods' first argument is array now. It was not consitent before. Some methods are removed.

### v3 Update guide

[](#v3-update-guide)

- Go to `vendor/bakgul/kernel/config/apps.php` file and see the changes. We have a new key named `routes` under each app. Bring that new structure to your packagify.php file in your config folder.
- Add `'bundler' => 'vite' or 'mix'` to the main array under 'Main from Kernel' section in your packagify.php file in your config folder.

```
sail artisan packagify:publish-config

```

[](#arguments)

This command has no argument.

#### Options

[](#options)

- **force**: To make it work, append " **-f** " or " **--force** " to the command. The config file will be regenerated when it's passed, and all the changes you made will be lost.

### Publish Stubs

[](#publish-stubs)

If any stub doesn't meet your needs, you can edit them as you wish. But first, you have to publish them. It's safe to delete the unedited stubs after publishing.

```
sail artisan packagify:publish-stub

```

#### Options

[](#options-1)

### Display Helps

[](#display-helps)

To display the help content in the terminal, you can use this command.

```
sail artisan get-help {from}

[](#options-2)

This command has no options.

### Count Code Lines

[](#count-code-lines)

If you want to know how many lines of code are written on any path, you can use this command. Please note that this will count everything but the empty lines.

```
sail artisan count {path?}
