Install Release Binary
======================

[](#install-release-binary)

Download and install release binaries in Laravel.

Install
-------

[](#install)

```
composer require imsuperlative/install-release-binary
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Create a class for each binary and bind it in a service provider:

```
class Ffmpeg extends ReleaseBinary {}
```

```
// AppServiceProvider
$this->app->bind(Ffmpeg::class, fn () => new Ffmpeg(
    new GithubBinary('btbn/ffmpeg-builds', 'v7.1', 'ffmpeg'),
));
```

Then use it anywhere. `ensureExists()` downloads and installs the binary if it's missing:

```
app(Ffmpeg::class)->ensureExists();
app(Ffmpeg::class)->path(); // storage/app/ffmpeg
```

Artisan Command
---------------

[](#artisan-command)

Use the `WithBinaryInstall` trait to cut down on boilerplate. Add `{--force}` to your signature and call `installBinary()`:

```
use Illuminate\Console\Command;
use ImSuperlative\ReleaseBinary\WithBinaryInstall;

class FfmpegInstallCommand extends Command
{
    use WithBinaryInstall;

    protected $signature = 'ffmpeg:install {--force}';

    public function handle(Ffmpeg $ffmpeg): int
    {
        return $this->installBinary($ffmpeg);
    }
}
```

Or without a dedicated class:

```
class FfmpegInstallCommand extends Command
{
    use WithBinaryInstall;

    protected $signature = 'ffmpeg:install {--force}';

    public function handle(): int
    {
        return $this->installBinary(new ReleaseBinary(
            new GithubBinary('btbn/ffmpeg-builds', 'v7.1', 'ffmpeg'),
        ));
    }
}
```

Config
------

[](#config)

Publish the config to change the install path:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=release-binary-config
```

```
// config/release-binary.php
return [
    'bin_path' => null, // defaults to storage_path('app')
];
```

Custom Sources
--------------

[](#custom-sources)

Implement `BinarySource` to support non-GitHub sources:

```
use ImSuperlative\ReleaseBinary\BinarySource;

class S3Binary implements BinarySource
{
    public function filename(): string { /* ... */ }
    public function download(string $destination): void { /* ... */ }
    public function verify(string $filePath): void { /* ... */ }
}
```
