PHPTree AST Generator
=====================

[](#phptree-ast-generator)

Description
-----------

[](#description)

An AST generator based on [loophp/phptree](https://packagist.org/packages/loophp/phptree).

[![Demo](resources/src-Command-Generator.png)](resources/src-Command-Generator.png)

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

[](#requirements)

- PHP >= 7.1
- A PHP Parser:
    - [nikic/php-ast](https://github.com/nikic/php-ast)
    - [nikic/php-parser](https://github.com/nikic/php-parser)
    - [microsoft/tolerant-php-parser](https://github.com/microsoft/tolerant-php-parser)

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

[](#installation)

`composer require loophp/phptree-ast-generator`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Very basic usage

```
./path/to/bin/ast generate /path/to/php/file.php
```

To generate the `dot` script for Graphviz

```
./path/to/bin/ast generate src/Command/Generator.php
```

Use the `-c` option to generate a fancy export, user-friendly and less verbose.

```
./path/to/bin/ast generate -c src/Command/Generator.php
```

To generate an image

```
./path/to/bin/ast generate -c -t image -f png -d graph.png src/Command/Generator.php
```

The generator supports 3 PHP parsers:

- [nikic/php-ast](https://github.com/nikic/php-ast)
- [nikic/php-parser](https://github.com/nikic/php-parser)
- [microsoft/tolerant-php-parser](https://github.com/microsoft/tolerant-php-parser)

Use the `-p` option to change it, default is `nikic`.

```
./path/to/bin/ast generate -p microsoft -t image -d graph.svg src/Command/Generator.php
```

You will find more documentation within the help of the command:

```
./path/to/bin/ast generate -h
```
