It also works for Linked Data (without the "Open"), but was initially developed for LOD, and the name stuck. **Note that this is experimental code which is still under development.** Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) PHP 5.6 or higher (it works under PHP 7, but no features from PHP 7 are used). Installation ------------ [](#installation) To install this library for use with your own code, do: ``` composer require bbcarchdev/liblod ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) See `liblod-php_usage.md` (in this directory). Developing the code ------------------- [](#developing-the-code) To develop liblod-php, clone the repo: ``` git clone https://github.com/bbcarchdev/liblod-php.git liblod-php cd liblod-php ``` Then you'll need to install the dependencies. You can do this with: ``` php tools/composer.phar install ``` Running the tests ----------------- [](#running-the-tests) To run the unit tests: ``` ./vendor/bin/robo unit ``` To run the integration tests: ``` ./vendor/bin/robo int ``` **Note that the integration tests work against the live [Acropolis stack](http://acropolis.org.uk/) and other LOD sites, so you will need a network connection to run them. They can also be somewhat fragile, as the number of statements for fetched resources may periodically change, depending on what has been ingested. This can occasionally cause test failures.** Code coverage ------------- [](#code-coverage) To generate a code coverage report for the tests, you will first need to [install the XDebug PHP module](https://xdebug.org/docs/install). Then, run: ``` ./vendor/bin/robo cov ``` The report can be viewed by opening `build/cov/index.html` in a web browser. Code quality ------------ [](#code-quality) Code quality checks can be run with: ``` ./vendor/bin/robo mess ``` This uses [PHPMD](https://phpmd.org/) to report on various issues with the code. API docs -------- [](#api-docs) Rudimentary (incomplete) API docs can be generated with: ``` ./vendor/bin/robo docs ``` The generated docs end up in the `build/apidocs/` directory. Code style checking ------------------- [](#code-style-checking) The code style can be checked with: ``` ./vendor/bin/robo style ``` The code style report ends up in the `build/style/` directory. (Note that the code style configuration is in the `phpcheckstyle-config.xml` file.) Authors ------- [](#authors) API design by [Mo McRoberts](https://github.com/nevali). Implementation by [Elliot Smith](https://github.com/townxelliot). Contributing ------------ [](#contributing) Contributions are welcome via [github pull requests](https://github.com/bbcarchdev/liblod-php).
