GraPHPizer: Analytics engine for PHP source code (CLI tool)
===========================================================

[](#graphpizer-analytics-engine-for-php-source-code-cli-tool)

**Disclaimer**: This project is actively developed and by no means stable. It is completely undocumented. I refuse to take any responsibility for any kind of havoc this program might wreak on your computer and to provide any kind of support.

Author and License

This project is [GPL-licensed](LICENSE).

**Background:** This project started off as part of my master's thesis in CS at the [University of Applied Sciences Osnabrück](https://www.hs-osnabrueck.de/). It has proven it's worth there and I'll probably continue to develop and maintain it.

What is GraPHPizer?
-------------------

[](#what-is-graphpizer)

This is a command-line tool that's designed for usage with the [GraPHPizer server application](https://github.com/martin-helmich/graphpizer-server). A general description of what GraPHPizer is and what it does can be found there.

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

[](#installation)

### Prerequisites

[](#prerequisites)

- PHP in version 5.5 or newer
- [Composer](http://getcomposer.org) in a halfway recent version
- A [GraPHPizer server](https://github.com/martin-helmich/graphpizer-server)running on a network-reachable machine

### Install using composer

[](#install-using-composer)

You can install the GraPHPizer CLI using Composer:

```
$ composer require helmich/graphpizer-cli
```

You can also install the CLI globally:

```
$ composer global require helmich/graphpizer-cli
```

After installation you will find a `graphpizer` executable in your *bin* dir (when installing locally, this will typically be `$PWD/vendor/bin`. When installing globally, it will be `$HOME/.composer/bin`).

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

### CLI flags

[](#cli-flags)

The `graphpizer` command-line utility offers a variety of flags and parameters that can be set on invocation:

- `--graph-host` or `-H` configures the GraPHPizer server name. The default value is `localhost`.
- `--graph-port` or `-P` configures the GraPHPizer port. The default value is `9000`

### The `graphpizer.json` configuration file(s)

[](#the-graphpizerjson-configuration-files)

For a per-project configuration, you can also create a `graphpizer.json` file inside your project root directory. You can also create additional `graphpizer.json` files in sub-directories of your project; these configurations will be applied to that directory and it's sub-directories only.

See the [respective section in the GraPHPizer server documentation](https://github.com/martin-helmich/graphpizer-server/wiki/Source-import-configuration) for more information.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The `graphpizer` CLI tool offers a set of commands that can be called. The most important is the `import:ast` command which is invoked as follows:

```
graphpizer import:ast [--prune] ...

```

You can specify any number of diretories or files as arguments to the `import:ast` call. Furthermore, you can set the `--prune` flag when you don't want incremental source code import.
