DW Utilities (PHP)
==================

[](#dw-utilities-php)

### A collection of utility functions to facilitate an efficient workflow with the [Darkwave](https://github.com/jyoungblood/darkwave) web application toolkit.

[](#a-collection-of-utility-functions-to-facilitate-an-efficient-workflow-with-the-darkwave-web-application-toolkit)

Installation
============

[](#installation)

These functions are included with Darkwave, but they can be installed and used as standalone functions in any project.

Install the package with Composer:

```
composer require jyoungblood/dw-utilities

```

Then add it to your application:

```
use Darkwave\dw;
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

```

Available Methods
=================

[](#available-methods)

dw::client\_ip()
----------------

[](#dwclient_ip)

Returns the (best guess for the) current visitor's IP address, using a combination of `$_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP']`, `$_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']`, and `$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']`

```
dw::client_ip();
```

dw::authenticate()
------------------

[](#dwauthenticate)

Parses the JWT 'token' cookie and sets global authentication variables to be used by the rest of the application.

```
dw::authenticate();
```

dw::generate\_jwt($user)
------------------------

[](#dwgenerate_jwtuser)

Uses [psr-jwt](https://github.com/RobDWaller/psr-jwt) to generate a JWT based on data from a given user's profile. Sets payload claims for `_id`, `name`, `avatar_url`, `screenname`, `admin_token`, and `staff_token`

```
dw::generate_jwt($user);
```

dw::convert\_image($args)
-------------------------

[](#dwconvert_imageargs)

Uses [php-image-resize](https://github.com/gumlet/php-image-resize) and [GD](https://www.php.net/manual/en/book.image.php) to convert a given image based on various configuration parameters.

```
dw::convert_image([
  'source' => $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/uploads/source-filename.jpg',
  'target' => $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] .  '/uploads/converted-filename.jpg',
  'resize' => [300, 300],
  // 'threshold' => 800
  'crop' => 'center',
  'quality' => 80
]);
```

The KunstmaanUtilitiesBundle makes your life easier by providing a couple of small but usefull helper services you can use and re-use in your applications. We already implemented an easy to use cipher service and a shell helper service for you but feel free to send in a pull request with your additions. The shell helper allows you to run apps in the background, see if a process is running and has a method to kill a running process. The cipher service allow you to encode and decode strings using the Rijndael 256 cipher
