When a package relying on this installer is installed or updated, its parsers will automatically be rebuilt if necessary, based on their source grammar. Likewise, those parsers are automatically erased when the package is uninstalled. Usage ----- [](#usage) To use this installer, edit your project's `composer.json` file: - Set the type to `php-parsers` - Add a requirement on `fpoirotte/php_parsergenerator_installer` - Declare your parsers using the `php-parsers` extra option The extra option may contain either: - A list of relative paths to grammars: for each such grammar, a parser will be generated in the same folder with the same base name (eg. `src/Foo.y` gets compiled into `src/Foo.php`) - A mapping between the expected parsers and their source grammar (see below) For example, the `erebot/intl` Composer package uses the following configuration to build a parser in `src/PluralParser.php` based on the contents of the grammar located in `data/PluralParser.y`, relative to the package's root directory: ``` { "name": "erebot/intl", "type": "php-parsers", "require": { "fpoirotte/php_parsergenerator_installer": "^0.1.0" }, "extra": { "php-parsers": { "src/PluralParser.php": "data/PluralParser.y" } } } ``` Now, when installing/updating a package that uses this installer, you will see output similar to this one: ``` clicky@localhost:~/git/Erebot/Styling$ composer.phar update Loading composer repositories with package information Updating dependencies (including require-dev) Package operations: 34 installs, 0 updates, 0 removals - Installing fpoirotte/php_parsergenerator (0.2.3): Loading from cache - Installing fpoirotte/php_parsergenerator_installer (0.1.4): Loading from cache ...
