Scaffolder
==========

[](#scaffolder)

The Scaffolder package generates the boilerplate for a php package. Running the command creates the following directory structure:

```
  packageName/
   |–composer.json (w/ boilerplate)
   |–phpunit.xml   (w/ boilerplate)
   |–src/
   |–tests/
   |–public/ (optional w/ --playground option)
      |–index.php

```

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP

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

[](#installation)

#### Globally (Composer)

[](#globally-composer)

`$ composer global require jncampbell/scaffolder`

#### Locally (Composer)

[](#locally-composer)

`$ composer require jncampbell/scaffolder`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The command will be stored in your vendor/bin directory

The `scaffolder new` command generates the boilerplate. A name is required.

```
$ vendor/bin/scaffolder new nameOfYourPackage

```

The `--playground` option creates a public folder with an index.php page

```
$ vendor/bin/scaffolder new nameOfYourPackage --playground

```

Once the boilerplate is generated, fill in the composer.json with your package's information, `cd` into your package directory and run a `composer install`. Then begin building your package.
