So here we'll provide the same documentation as `metadata-extractor` but for PHP, here is how to get metadata with the library. ``` Metadata metadata = ImageMetadataReader.readMetadata(imagePath); ``` Installation ------------ [](#installation) The easiest way to install the library is to use [composer](https://getcomposer.org/ "composer") and define the following dependency inside your `composer.json` file : ``` { "require": { "gomoob/php-metadata-extractor": "~2.9" } } ``` Please also note that because the library is a wrapper around a Java library the `java` executable must be available in your `PATH` variable. Versioning ---------- [](#versioning) To easier version identification the version of `php-metadata-extractor` will always be aligned with the version of the Java `metadata-extractor` library. Stable versions of `php-metadata-extrator` will be equal to `X.Y.Z-N` where `N` represents a patch number associated to `php-metadata-extractor`. Unstable or uncomplete versions of `php-metadata-extractor` will be equal to `X.Y.Z-alpha.N`, `X.Y.Z-beta.N` or `X.Y.Z-rc.N`. Contribute ---------- [](#contribute) ### Rules [](#rules) The `metadata-extractor` Java library is very complete, so we need to improve its integration, if you would like to contribute please respect the following rules : - Create your pull requests only on the `develop` branch, the `master` branch should only be used by Gomoob to create new versions ; - Use the `grunt phpcbf` command to automatically format your code with PHP Code Sniffer ; - Use the `grunt phpcs` command to check your code before creating your Pull request ; - Always try to fully document your classes, properties and functions. ### Builds [](#builds) The build scripts are managed with [Grunt](%22Grunt%22), to use is you first have to install [Node](%22Node%22) and use the `npm install`. The PHP dependencies are managed with [Composer](%22Composer%22), run the `composer update` command before calling any build command. Ensure you have a working Java environnement and that the `java` executable is available in your `PATH`. The following builds are available : - `grunt` clean temporary build files, run the PHPUnit unit tests and generated the PHPDocumentor documentation ; - `grunt phpcbf` automatically clean the source code for PHP Code Sniffer ; - `grunt phpcs` check the validity of the source code with PHP Code Sniffer ; - `grunt test` execute the PHPUnit unit tests ; - `grunt generate-documentation` generate the PHPDocumentor documentation ; - `grunt pdepend` generate the PDepend quality charts ; - `grunt phpmd` generate the PHPMD code quality reports.
