Usage
-----

[](#usage)

To get started with TetherPHP, please refer to the [documentation](https://tetherphp.com/docs).

Monorepo
--------

[](#monorepo)

This repository is a monorepo. The core framework code in `src/` is automatically split and published to [tetherphp-core](https://github.com/Dillonsmart/tetherphp-core) via GitHub Actions using `splitsh-lite`.

Local Development
-----------------

[](#local-development)

For local development of TetherPHP alongside the core framework files, create a `composer.local.json` file:

```
{
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "path",
            "url": "../tetherphp-core"
        }
    ],
    "require": {
        "dillonsmart/tetherphp-core": "*"
    },
    "minimum-stability": "dev",
    "prefer-stable": true
}
```

Then run:

```
COMPOSER=composer.local.json composer update
```

You can also create an alias for convenience:

```
alias composer-local='COMPOSER=composer.local.json composer update'
```
