Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

This library is meant to parse changelog files and convert its data to different formats.

It would be used to get dynamically data from a changelog file to inform users about the different versions and their changes.

With this library it is easy to use changelog data in any way.

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

[](#installation)

You can use composer to set the library as your project dependency

```
composer require kern046/changelog-parser
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

To use this library, you can create an instance of the changelog manager

```
use ChangelogParser\Manager\ChangelogManager;

$changelogManager = new ChangelogManager();
```

To get the last version data of your changelog file, write the following code :

```
// The second parameter is optional, default is 'json'
$changelogManager->getLastVersion('CHANGELOG.md', 'json');
```

To get all data contained in the changelog file, use the following method :

```
// The second parameter is optional, default is 'json'
$changelogManager->getAllVersions('CHANGELOG.md', 'json');
```

The results of these functions are cached.

The default cache validity time is one hour.

You can modify it using the following way :

```
$cacheManager = $changelogManager->getCacheManager();
// The first argument is the validity time in seconds
// In the current example, the cache validity time is one day
$cacheManager->setCacheTime(60 * 60 * 24);
```
