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

[](#installation)

```
composer require meneguetti/viscle
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

1. Include the following code where you want to start capturing the request lifecycle, it has to be somewhere after requiring 'vendor/autoload.php'.

```
\Viscle\Viscle::capture();
```

2. Include the following code where you want to stop capturing and render the visual lifecycle.

```
echo \Viscle\Viscle::render();
```

Examples
--------

[](#examples)

- Example 1 - Simple usage of a set of classes within example folder:

```
\Viscle\Viscle::capture();

$a = new \Viscle\Example\A;
$a->perform();

echo \Viscle\Viscle::render();
```

It will render like following:

[![Example 1](/example/image/1.png)](/example/image/1.png)

- Example 2 - Usage in a framework (Laravel):

```
//inside public/index.php
require __DIR__.'/../vendor/autoload.php';

$filter = new \Viscle\Filter\NamespaceWhitelist();
//We don't want our graph too long, right?! ;)
$filter->classes = [
    'App',
    'Viscle\Example' //it's just to include Viscle example in our graph
];

\Viscle\Viscle::capture($filter);

...

//inside your controller/action or route closure

//just an example to show in graph
$a = new \Viscle\Example\A;
$a->perform();

echo \Viscle\Viscle::render();
```

It will render like following:

[![Example 2](/example/image/2.png)](/example/image/2.png)

- Example 3 - Usage in a framework (Zend Framework 3):

```
//inside public/index.php
include __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';

$filter = new \Viscle\Filter\NamespaceWhitelist();
$filter->classes = ['Application', 'Album', 'Viscle\Example'];

\Viscle\Viscle::capture($filter);

...

//inside your controller/action

//just an example to show in graph
$a = new \Viscle\Example\A;
$a->perform();
