laravel-zero-support
====================

[](#laravel-zero-support)

Reusable base utilities shared by [Laravel Zero](https://laravel-zero.com) CLI tools. It provides cross-OS home/config directory resolution, opening URLs in the default browser, and secure JSON file writing - the small pieces of glue every CLI ends up reimplementing.

Why
---

[](#why)

CLIs repeatedly need to: find where to store config across Windows/macOS/Linux, open a browser for an OAuth flow, and persist credentials to a JSON file with safe permissions. This package centralizes those concerns as tiny, dependency-free static helpers (only requires `php: ^8.2`).

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require jeffersongoncalves/laravel-zero-support
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use JeffersonGoncalves\LaravelZero\Support\Os;
use JeffersonGoncalves\LaravelZero\Support\Browser;
use JeffersonGoncalves\LaravelZero\Support\Filesystem;

// Resolve directories (cross-OS)
$home   = Os::homeDir();          // e.g. /home/jeff or C:\Users\jeff
$config = Os::configDir();        // XDG_CONFIG_HOME or {home}/.config
$win    = Os::isWindows();        // bool

// Open a URL in the default browser
Browser::open('https://example.com'); // returns bool (true on success)

// Persist and read JSON safely
$path = $home.'/.my-cli/config.json';
Filesystem::writeJsonSecure($path, ['token' => 'secret']); // dir 0700, file 0600
$data = Filesystem::readJson($path);                       // array|null
```
