Alchemy handles your test/linting setup and any other integration you might need to run your tests like CI/CD. Alchemy is not a testing framework or style fixer, it's a tool that manages all the nasty setup for you. 📦 Setting Up ------------ [](#-setting-up) You can install alchemy with leaf CLI ``` leaf install alchemy ``` Or with composer ``` composer require leafs/alchemy ``` Once installed, Alchemy will automatically set up an `alchemy.yml` file in your project's root which you can use to configure your tests, linting and github actions. 🗂 Your Alchemy File ------------------- [](#-your-alchemy-file) The `alchemy.yml` file should look something like this: ``` app: - app - src tests: engine: pest parallel: true paths: - tests files: - '*.test.php' coverage: processUncoveredFiles: true lint: preset: 'PSR12' ignore_dot_files: true rules: array_syntax: syntax: 'short' no_unused_imports: true single_quote: true ordered_imports: imports_order: null case_sensitive: false sort_algorithm: 'alpha' actions: run: - 'lint' - 'test' php: extensions: json, zip versions: - '8.3' event: - 'push' - 'pull_request' ``` You can make edits to this file to suit your needs. The `app` key is an array of directories to look for your app files in. The `tests` key is an array of configurations for your tests. The `lint` key is an array of configurations for your code styling checks. Once you're done setting up your `alchemy.yml` file, you can run the setup script. ``` leaf run alchemy # or composer run alchemy ``` This will install your test engine, PHP CS Fixer and any other dependencies you might need, and then generate dummy tests using the test engine you chose. It will then lint your code, run your tests and generate a coverage report (if you selected that option). It will also add a `test` and `lint` command to your `composer.json` file which you can use to run your tests and lint your code respectively. Finally, it will generate a `.github/workflows` directory with a `test.yml` file and a `lint.yml` file which you can use to run your tests and linting on github actions. Based on your engine, you might see either of the outputs below - PEST PHP [![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/26604242/182198978-1b8e2ba2-42e7-4345-82d0-3ae5be35d299.png)](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/26604242/182198978-1b8e2ba2-42e7-4345-82d0-3ae5be35d299.png) - PHPUnit [![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/26604242/182198446-47a4a581-3aa4-470c-b450-420604b9bb6c.png)](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/26604242/182198446-47a4a581-3aa4-470c-b450-420604b9bb6c.png) ### Health Score 41 — FairBetter than 89% of packages Maintenance58 Moderate activity, may be stable Popularity25 Limited adoption so far Community18 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity54 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 98.6% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
