The Gherphalizer
================

[](#the-gherphalizer)

Overview
--------

[](#overview)

Provides a composer plugin that finds and transforms Gherkin files into PHP classes.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Configure the plugin in your composer.json file using for example:

```
"extra": {
    "gherphalizer": {
        "files": [
            "*"
        ],
        "locations": [
            "app/modules",
            "app/profiles"
        ],
        "output-dir": "NOT-PUBLIC-FOLDER"
    }
}

```

Where:

- `files`: List of filenames (without the feature extension) to scan for.
- `locations`: List of paths to scan for Gherkin feature files.
- `output-dir`: The directory where the PHP files will be placed.

How does it work
----------------

[](#how-does-it-work)

Every time you run `composer install` or `composer update`, the plugin will scan the locations for Gherkin feature files, generating PHP classes for them into the output directory.

### Command

[](#command)

You can also use the command `composer gherphalizer` to run the process.

Use the option `--config` to specify a config.json file to override the config defined in the `composer.json`: `composer gherphalizer --config=config.json`.

The content of the configuration file passed in needs to be in this format:

```
{
    "files": [
        "*"
    ],
    "locations": [
        "app/modules",
        "app/profiles"
    ],
    "output-dir": "NOT-PUBLIC-FOLDER"
}

```

Contributing
------------

[](#contributing)

Clone the repository and install all dependencies:

```
$ composer install

```

To run the tests simply:

```
$ ./vendor/bin/phpunit

```

Notes
-----

[](#notes)

- Code formatting in your IDE might have an impact on the tests (how the fixture is formatted vs. the test output)

Automated Tests and Code Sniffer
--------------------------------

[](#automated-tests-and-code-sniffer)

This repository integrates with [Travis CI](https://travis-ci.com/EdisonLabs/gherphalizer) to perform tests and detect PHP standards violations.
