ms-lib-stone
============

[](#ms-lib-stone)

**ms-lib-stone** is DataSift's in-house framework for [Storyplayer](http://datasift.github.io/storyplayer), Storyteller, Hornet and other QA tools.

System-Wide Installation
------------------------

[](#system-wide-installation)

ms-lib-stone should be installed using the [PEAR Installer](http://pear.php.net). This installer is the PHP community's de-facto standard for installing PHP components.

```
sudo pear channel-discover datasift.github.io/pear
sudo pear install --alldeps datasift/ms-lib-stone

```

Composer support is coming soon.

As A Dependency On Your Component
---------------------------------

[](#as-a-dependency-on-your-component)

If you are creating a component that relies on ms-lib-stone, please make sure that you add ms-lib-stone to your component's package.xml file:

```

      ms-lib-stone
      datasift.github.io/pear
      1.0.0
      1.999.99999

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

At the moment, we haven't published any documentation for this library. Please look at the unit tests to see how we recommend using the library.

Development Environment
-----------------------

[](#development-environment)

If you want to patch or enhance this component, you will need to create a suitable development environment. The easiest way to do that is to install phix4componentdev:

```
# phix4componentdev
sudo apt-get install php5-xdebug
sudo apt-get install php5-imagick
sudo pear channel-discover pear.phix-project.org
sudo pear -D auto_discover=1 install -Ba phix/phix4componentdev

```

You can then fork and clone the git repository.

Then, install a local copy of this component's dependencies to complete the development environment:

```
# build vendor/ folder
phing build-vendor

```

To make life easier for you, common tasks (such as running unit tests, generating code review analytics, and creating the PEAR package) have been automated using [phing](http://phing.info). You'll find the automated steps inside the build.xml file that ships with the component.

Run the command 'phing' in the component's top-level folder to see the full list of available automated tasks.
