Metrics Collector
=================

[](#metrics-collector)

Overview
--------

[](#overview)

The Metrics Collector is a simple library that provides base classes to easily extend and collect custom metrics.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

This library does not provide any metrics by default. To create new metrics, [create a Composer package](https://getcomposer.org/doc/01-basic-usage.md) and then add a dependency to this package:

```
composer require edisonlabs/metrics

```

Now create the metrics classes extending `edisonlabs/metrics` classes.

Example: Number of PHP files.

```
// src/EdisonLabs/Metric/NumberOfPhpFiles.php

namespace EdisonLabs\Metric;

use EdisonLabs\Metrics\Metric\AbstractMetricBase;

class NumberOfPhpFiles extends AbstractMetricBase
{
    public function getName()
    {
        return 'Number of PHP files';
    }

    public function getDescription()
    {
        return 'The total number of PHP files';
    }

    public function getMetric()
    {
        // Put the logic to calculate the total of PHP files here.
        // ..

        // Random example.
        return rand(10, 50);
    }
}
```

Configure the autoload in `composer.json`:

```
"autoload": {
    "psr-4": {
        "EdisonLabs\\Metric\\": "src/EdisonLabs/Metric"
    }
}
```

Re-create the Composer autoloader:

```
composer dump-autoload

```

Collecting metrics
------------------

[](#collecting-metrics)

There are two ways to collect the metrics: programmatically and by command-line.

#### Programmatically

[](#programmatically)

```
// collector.php

use EdisonLabs\Metrics\Collector;

$date = strtotime('now');
$config = array();

$collector = new Collector($date, $config);
$metrics = $collector->getMetrics();
```

#### Command

[](#command)

The command is located at `vendor/bin/metrics`. Include the `vendor/bin` directory in the system `$PATH` to run this command from anywhere.

Type `metrics --help` to see all the available options.

Saving metrics
--------------

[](#saving-metrics)

Create datastore classes to save your metrics:

```
// src/EdisonLabs/Metric/Datastore/SqLite.php

namespace EdisonLabs\Metric\Datastore;

use EdisonLabs\Metrics\Metric\Datastore\AbstractMetricDatastore;

class SqLite extends AbstractMetricDatastore
{
    public function getName()
    {
        return 'SQLite';
    }

    public function getDescription()
    {
        return 'Stores metrics to SQLite';
    }

    public function save()
    {
        $metrics = $this->getMetrics();

        // Put your logic to store the metrics to SQLite here.
        return true;
    }
}
```

#### Programmatically

[](#programmatically-1)

```
// datastore.php

use EdisonLabs\Metrics\Collector;
use EdisonLabs\Metrics\DatastoreHandler;

$date = strtotime('now');
$config = array();

$collector = new Collector($date, $config);
$metrics = $collector->getMetrics();

$datastoreHandler = new DatastoreHandler($date, $config);
$datastore = $datastoreHandler->getDatastoreByName('SQLite');
$datastore->setMetrics($metrics);
$datastore->save();
```

#### Command

[](#command-1)

Use the option `--save` to list and save your metrics.

```
metrics --save=SQLite

```

The `--save` option accepts multiple values.

```
metrics --save=SQLite,MySql,MyCustomDatastore

```
