*PHP Library Prototype is a tool to quickly initiate the development of a new PHP library.*

Features
--------

[](#features)

The aim of this prototype is to save time when starting to develop a PHP library. It will:

- Download and install basic files - a class and its test class with proper namespaces
- Install popular QA tools: phpunit, phpstan and phpcs
- Generate basic .gitignore and README files

Please note that `.gitignore` file is based upon [gitignore.io](https://www.gitignore.io/) API.

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

[](#requirements)

- PHP >= 7.3
- php-xml extension
- php-mbstring extension
- [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/download/)

Check the [PHP roadmap](https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php) to see the PHP versions supported by this library.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Creating a library is a simple two-step process.

1. First, create a project from this prototype. Replace `MyDirectory` with your own value to create the project and move into the created directory:

```
$ composer create-project jpchateau/prototype-php-library MyDirectory && cd $_
```

2. Then, run the install command to complete the process. Replace `MyCompany` and `MyProject` with your own values:

```
$ make company=MyCompany project=MyProject install
```

You are ready to develop!
Don't forget to pick up a license ;)

Tests
-----

[](#tests)

```
$ make tests
```

QA Tools
--------

[](#qa-tools)

```
$ bin/phpcs src/ --standard=PSR2
$ bin/phpstan analyse -l 7 src/
```
