These tools might not be for you, and that's okay. Maybe these tools help a lot, but you have different needs. That's also okay. You may fork and modify to creating your own Composer plugin. Of course, if you want to help improve these tools, I welcome your contributions. Feel free to open issues, ask about or request features, and submit PRs. I can't wait to see what you come up with. This project adheres to a [code of conduct](./.github/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md). By participating in this project and its community, you are expected to uphold this code. Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP 8.0 or 8.1 Installation ------------ [](#installation) Install this package as a development dependency using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org). ``` composer require --dev chiron/devtools ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) This package is a Composer plugin. This means Composer recognizes that it provides custom functionality to your `composer` command. After installation, type `composer list`, and you'll see a lot of new commands that this plugin provides. ``` composer list ``` ### Add a Command Prefix [](#add-a-command-prefix) The commands this plugin provides are all intermingled with the rest of the Composer commands, so it may be hard to find them all. We have a way to group them by command namespace, though. Open `composer.json` and add a `chiron/devtools.command-prefix` property to the `extra` section. You may use any prefix you wish. ``` { "extra": { "chiron/devtools": { "command-prefix": "my-prefix" } } } ``` Now, when you type `composer list` (or just `composer`), you'll see a section of commands that looks like this: ``` my-prefix my-prefix:analyze:all Runs all static analysis checks. my-prefix:analyze:phpstan Runs the PHPStan static analyzer. my-prefix:analyze:psalm Runs the Psalm static analyzer. my-prefix:build:clean Cleans the build/ directory. my-prefix:build:clean:all Cleans the build/ directory. my-prefix:build:clean:cache Cleans the build/cache/ directory. my-prefix:build:clean:coverage Cleans the build/coverage/ directory. my-prefix:changelog Support for working with Keep A Changelog. my-prefix:license Checks dependency licenses. my-prefix:lint:all Runs all linting checks. my-prefix:lint:fix Auto-fixes coding standards issues, if possible. my-prefix:lint:pds Validates project compliance with pds/skeleton. my-prefix:lint:style Checks for coding standards issues. my-prefix:lint:syntax Checks for syntax errors. my-prefix:test:all Runs linting, static analysis, and unit tests. my-prefix:test:coverage:ci Runs unit tests and generates CI coverage reports. my-prefix:test:coverage:html Runs unit tests and generates HTML coverage report. my-prefix:test:unit Runs unit tests. ``` You can also list commands by command prefix with `composer list my-prefix`. ### Extending or Overriding chiron/devtools Commands [](#extending-or-overriding-chirondevtools-commands) Maybe the commands chiron/devtools provides don't do everything you need, or maybe you want to replace them entirely. The configuration allows you to do this! Using the `chiron/devtools.commands` property in the `extra` section of `composer.json`, you may specify any command (*without* your custom prefix, if you've configured one) as having other scripts to run, in addition to the command's default behavior, or you may override the default behavior entirely. Specifying additional scripts works exactly like [writing custom commands](https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/scripts.md#writing-custom-commands)in `composer.json`, but the location is different. Everything you can do with a custom Composer command, you can do here because they're the same thing. ``` { "extra": { "chiron/devtools": { "command-prefix": "my-prefix", "commands": { "lint:all": { "script": "@mylint" }, "test:all": { "script": [ "@mylint", "@phpbench" ] } } } }, "scripts": { "mylint": "parallel-lint src tests", "phpbench": "phpbench run" } } ``` In this way, when you run `composer my-prefix:lint:all` or `composer my-prefix:test:all`, it will execute the default behavior first and then run your additional commands. To override the default behavior so that it doesn't run at all and only your scripts run, specify the `override` property and set it to `true`. ``` { "extra": { "chiron/devtools": { "commands": { "lint:all": { "override": true, "script": "parallel-lint src tests" } } } } } ``` ### Composer Command Autocompletion [](#composer-command-autocompletion) Did you know you can set up your terminal to do Composer command autocompletion? If you'd like to have Composer command autocompletion, you may use [bamarni/symfony-console-autocomplete](https://github.com/bamarni/symfony-console-autocomplete). Install it globally with Composer: ``` composer global require bamarni/symfony-console-autocomplete ``` Then, in your shell configuration file — usually `~/.bash_profile` or `~/.zshrc`, but it could be different depending on your settings — ensure that your global Composer `bin` directory is in your `PATH`, and evaluate the `symfony-autocomplete` command. This will look like this: ``` export PATH="$(composer config home)/vendor/bin:$PATH" eval "$(symfony-autocomplete)" ``` Now, you can use the `tab` key to auto-complete Composer commands: ``` composer my-prefix:[TAB][TAB] ``` Contributing ------------ [](#contributing) Contributions are welcome!
