LaraPy
======

[](#larapy)

LaraPy is a Laravel package designed to make managing and executing Python scripts seamless. It provides helper functions to simplify referencing Python scripts in your Laravel project and executing them with arguments.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- `python_path()`: Resolve the absolute path to Python scripts located in `resources/python`.
- `python($script, $args = [])`: Execute Python scripts and pass arguments dynamically.

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

[](#installation)

1. Install LaraPy via Composer:

```
   composer require laleksandrov/larapy
```

1. After installing, the package automatically creates the directory `resources/python`, where your Python scripts should be placed. If the directory does not exist, create it manually:

```
   mkdir -p resources/python
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Referencing Python Scripts

[](#referencing-python-scripts)

LaraPy provides the `python_path()` helper to get the absolute path of a Python script within `resources/python`.

#### Example:

[](#example)

```
$scriptPath = python_path('example.py');

// Output: /absolute/path/to/resources/python/example.py
```

### Executing Python Scripts

[](#executing-python-scripts)

LaraPy allows you to execute Python scripts using the `python()` helper. You can pass arguments as an array.

#### Example:

[](#example-1)

If you have a script called `example.py` in `resources/python`:

```
# example.py
import sys

if len(sys.argv) > 1:
    print(f"Arguments received: {', '.join(sys.argv[1:])}")
else:
    print("No arguments provided.")
```

Run the script with arguments in PHP:

```
$output = python('example.py', ['arg1', 'arg2']);
echo $output;

// Output: Arguments received: arg1, arg2
```

#### Error Handling:

[](#error-handling)

If the script fails, the helper throws a `Symfony\Component\Process\Exception\ProcessFailedException`. You can handle this exception as follows:

```
try {
    $output = python('example.py', ['arg1']);
    echo $output;
} catch (ProcessFailedException $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
}
```

Troubleshooting
---------------

[](#troubleshooting)

1. **`resources/python` Directory Missing?**If the `resources/python` folder wasn't automatically created during installation, you can manually create it:

```
   mkdir -p resources/python
```

1. **Python Not Found?**Ensure Python is installed on your system and accessible via the `python` command. If your environment uses `python3`, update the `python()` helper's command to use `python3`.

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

[](#requirements)

- PHP version `^8.0`
- Laravel version `^10.0`
- Python installed and accessible in your environment
