Phalcon Crest
=============

[](#phalcon-crest)

Command line application for Phalcon — generators, introspection and project tooling.

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

[](#requirements)

- PHP `^8.1`
- Phalcon, either the `ext-phalcon` C extension (`^5`) or the `phalcon/phalcon` PHP implementation (`^6`) — crest itself needs neither to run

Install
-------

[](#install)

```
composer require --dev phalcon/crest

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
vendor/bin/crest                      list available commands
vendor/bin/crest about                environment and version report
vendor/bin/crest make:action GET /company/all

```

Global options
--------------

[](#global-options)

OptionPurpose`--config=`explicit path to `crest.php``--directory=`project root override`--trace`full exception trace`--help`, `-h`usage for the current command`--quiet`, `-q`suppress non-essential output`--version`crest versionConfiguration
-------------

[](#configuration)

`crest.php` at the project root is optional. Without it, crest reads `composer.json`'s psr-4 map and defaults `paths.action` to `src/Action`.

```
return [
    'flavor'    => 'adr',
    'namespace' => 'App',
    'paths'     => ['action' => 'src/Action'],
];
```

Namespaces are resolved from your psr-4 map, so a path must be covered by an autoload rule — `src/Action` under `App\ => src/` becomes `App\Action`. If you write to a directory your autoloader does not cover, declare the namespace outright:

```
return [
    'paths'      => ['action' => 'app/Handlers'],
    'namespaces' => ['action' => 'Shop\Handlers'],
];
```

Custom stubs
------------

[](#custom-stubs)

Copy a stub into `resources/stubs//` in your project and crest uses yours instead of the packaged one.

Development
-----------

[](#development)

```
docker compose up -d
docker exec crest-app composer install
docker exec crest-app composer test
docker exec crest-app composer cs
docker exec crest-app composer analyze

```

Set `PHALCON_VARIANT=v6` in `.env` and rebuild to test against `phalcon/phalcon` instead of the C extension.
