Helper library to collect a list of used classes for PHP 7.4 preloading
=======================================================================

[](#helper-library-to-collect-a-list-of-used-classes-for-php-74-preloading)

This library consists of two parts:

- **The collector**

    Typically a middleware that, over time, builds a list of all used classes and, by default, saves this list into the file `preload.json` in the project root.

    Since the generated list of classes is static, it is recommended to do a fresh collection cycle after big code changes that involve a lot of new classes.
- **The preloader**

    A small script which can be used as PHP 7.4 preloading script. The default filename is `preload.php`, also in the project root. Creation of this script is a separate step and the specific command depends on the framework used.

Supported frameworks
--------------------

[](#supported-frameworks)

- Laravel

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

[](#requirements)

- [PHP 7.4 or higher](http://www.php.net/)

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

[](#installation)

You can use **Composer** or simply **Download the Release**

### Composer

[](#composer)

The preferred method is via [composer](https://getcomposer.org). Follow the [installation instructions](https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md) if you do not already have composer installed.

Once composer is installed, execute the following command in your project root to install this library:

```
composer require radebatz/preload-collector
```

Framework integration
---------------------

[](#framework-integration)

### Laravel

[](#laravel)

#### Collecting

[](#collecting)

Once installed via `composer` the included service provider will register a middleware to build the class list. This is an automated step and no manual configuration is required for this.

#### Preloading

[](#preloading)

Once the collection phase is over (the list doesn't change substantially any more), the preload script can be generated using `artisan`

```
php artisan vendor:publish "--provider=Radebatz\PreloadCollector\Laravel\ServiceProvider" --tag=preload
```

After this, both 'preload.php' and the generated 'preload.json' should be added to your projects repository.

#### Configuration

[](#configuration)

The only configuration option available is to enable/disable the collector mdidleware.

This can either be done by publishing the library config via

```
php artisan vendor:publish "--provider=Radebatz\PreloadCollector\Laravel\ServiceProvider" --tag=config
```

and editing the config in your projects `config` folder.

Alternatively, this may be controller via `env` variable like so:

```
export PRELOAD_COLLECTOR_ENABLED=true
```
