TYPO3 Extension Development Helper
==================================

[](#typo3-extension-development-helper)

Install
-------

[](#install)

```
$ composer require bk2k/extension-helper --dev

```

Commands
--------

[](#commands)

### `release:create`

[](#releasecreate)

This is a wrapper command that calls different commands `version:set`, `changelog:create` and `release:publish` in sequence.

```
$ php bin/extension-helper release:create
$ php bin/extension-helper release:create 1.0.0

```

### `release:publish`

[](#releasepublish)

This command will commit all uncommitted files in the working directory, and adds the version number as tag.

```
$ php bin/extension-helper release:publish
$ php bin/extension-helper release:publish 1.0.0

```

### `changelog:create`

[](#changelogcreate)

This command generates a changelog from your git log.

```
$ php bin/extension-helper changelog:create
$ php bin/extension-helper changelog:create 1.0.0

```

### `version:set`

[](#versionset)

This command updates the version of your extension in the predefined files. For now it will update files:

- `Documentation\Settings.cfg`
- `Documentation\Settings.yaml`
- `ext_emconf.php`

```
$ php bin/extension-helper version:set  --dev

```

```
# Set version to 1.0.0
$ php bin/extension-helper version:set 1.0.0

```

```
# Set version to 1.0.0-dev
$ php bin/extension-helper version:set 1.0.0 --dev

```

### `archive:create`

[](#archivecreate)

This will generate a zip archive for the current version.

With the optional parameter you can set a specific version number the archive should be created for. The script will fail if you provide a version number and the tag does not exist.

```
# packagename_-.zip
$ php bin/extension-helper archive:create

# packagename_1.0.0.zip
$ php bin/extension-helper archive:create 1.0.0

```
