Installation ------------ [](#installation) To start performing analysis on your code, require htaccess CLI in Composer: ``` composer require --dev madewithlove/htaccess-cli ``` Composer will install htaccess-cli's executable in its bin-dir, which defaults to vendor/bin. ### Global installation [](#global-installation) ``` composer global require madewithlove/htaccess-cli ``` Then make sure you have the global Composer binaries directory in your `PATH`. This directory is platform-dependent, see `Composer documentation `\_ for details. This allows you to use the tool as `htaccess` from every location in your system. Usage ----- [](#usage) Run the .htaccess CLI tester from a directory containing a .htaccess file. ``` # using global installation htaccess http://localhost/foo # using project-specific installation vendor/bin/htaccess http://localhost/foo ``` Where the url is the request url you want to test your .htaccess file with. [![Output of the htaccess tester](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1398405/70325684-d8072600-1832-11ea-99f2-3182c0ac3906.png)](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1398405/70325684-d8072600-1832-11ea-99f2-3182c0ac3906.png) ### Usage through Docker [](#usage-through-docker) ``` # install the container docker pull madewithlove/htaccess-cli # run the htaccess tester in the current folder docker run --rm -v $PWD:/app madewithlove/htaccess-cli [url] ``` ### Usage as a GitHub Action [](#usage-as-a-github-action) Check if you want to verify how .htaccess files behave in a GitHub Action. CLI Options ----------- [](#cli-options) The following options are available: ``` -r, --referrer[=REFERRER] The referrer header, used as HTTP_REFERER in apache --http-user-agent[=HTTP_USER_AGENT] The User Agent header, used as HTTP_USER_AGENT in apache -s, --server-name[=SERVER-NAME] The configured server name, used as SERVER_NAME in apache -e, --expected-url[=EXPECTED-URL] When configured, errors when the output url does not equal this url --share When passed, you'll receive a share url for your test run -l, --url-list[=URL-LIST] Location of the yaml file containing your url list -p, --path[=WORKING_DIR] Path to the location of the .htaccess file you wish to test -h, --help Display a help message ``` Usages with multiple url's -------------------------- [](#usages-with-multiple-urls) To test one htaccess file with multiple url's, you can use a yaml file that contains them. ``` - http://localhost/foo - http://localhost/bar ``` If you want to pass an expected url for every url you're testing, you can use this yaml structure, where each url maps to an expected url. ``` http://localhost/foo: http://localhost/test http://localhost/bar: http://localhost/test ``` You can then run the command using ``` htaccess --url-list ./url-list.yaml ``` Testing against a working directory ----------------------------------- [](#testing-against-a-working-directory) If you want to test for a `.htaccess` file outside of the current working directory, you can use the `-p ./path_to_directory` option in the command. For example, ``` htaccess -p ./html http://localhost/ ``` ### Note [](#note) The tool simulates only one pass through the server, while Apache will do multiple if you get back on the same domain. This is a feature we might still add in the future, but it's a limitation for now. ### Health Score 62 — FairBetter than 99% of packages Maintenance88 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity39 Limited adoption so far Community19 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity85 Battle-tested with a long release history Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 76.2% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
