Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) This extension requires: - PHP 5.3.3 or later. - A terminal emulator with support for ANSI escape sequences, including color and cursor control. **NOTE:** By default, the Windows console does not support ANSI escape sequences. If you'd like to use this extension on Windows, you may want to try one of the following solutions: - [ANSICON](https://github.com/adoxa/ansicon) - [ConEmu](https://github.com/Maximus5/ConEmu) Installation ------------ [](#installation) To install this, make sure you are using the latest release of PHPSpec, and then add the following to your `composer.json`: ``` "require-dev": { ..., "phpspec/nyan-formatters": "2.*" } ``` Install or update your dependencies, and then in a `phpspec.yml` file in the root of your project, add the following: ``` extensions: PhpSpec\NyanFormattersExtension\Extension: ~ ``` Then, you can add a `--format` switch to your `phpspec` command with one of the following values: - `nyan.cat` - Gives the standard Nyan Cat formatter [![nyan cat formatter preview](screenshots/formatters/cat.gif)](screenshots/formatters/cat.gif) - `nyan.dino` - Gives a dinosaur formatter - Rawwr! [![nyan dino formatter preview](screenshots/formatters/dino.gif)](screenshots/formatters/dino.gif) - `nyan.crab` - Gives a crab formatter [![nyan crab formatter preview](screenshots/formatters/crab.gif)](screenshots/formatters/crab.gif) If you want to use one of the formatters all the time, you can enforce a default by adding a `formatter.name` option in the `phpspec.yml` file as follows: ``` formatter.name: nyan.dino ``` Authors ------- [](#authors) This project was written by: - [Matthew Davis](https://twitter.com/mdavis1982) - [Jeff Welch](https://twitter.com/whatthejeff) Contributions ------------- [](#contributions) This project wouldn't have been possible without the help and support of the following people: - [Marcello Duarte](https://twitter.com/_md) - [Jakub Zalas](https://twitter.com/jakub_zalas) - [Christophe Coevoet](https://twitter.com/stof70) - [Ciaran McNulty](https://twitter.com/ciaranmcnulty) - [Wouter J](https://github.com/wouterj) ### Health Score 42 — FairBetter than 90% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity45 Moderate usage in the ecosystem Community30 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity62 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor2 2 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
