If you are trying to create a new PHP Composer package, whether it is going to be submitted to [packagist.org](packagist.org)or just to exist in your Github account, this template package of files will surely help you make the process a lot easier and faster.

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

[](#requirements)

- PHP >= 7.0;
- composer.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- PSR-4 autoloading compliant structure;
- PSR-2 compliant code style;
- Unit-Testing with PHPUnit 6;
- Comprehensive guide and tutorial;
- Easy to use with any framework or even a plain php file;
- Useful tools for better code included.

Installation
============

[](#installation)

```
composer create-project gino-pane/composer-package-template yourproject

```

This will create a basic project structure for you:

- **/build** is used to store code coverage output by default;
- **/src** is where your codes will live in, each class will need to reside in its own file inside this folder;
- **/tests** each class that you write in src folder needs to be tested before it was even "included" into somewhere else. So basically we have tests classes there to test other classes;
- **.gitignore** there are certain files that we don't want to publish in Git, so we just add them to this fle for them to "get ignored by git";
- **CHANGELOG.md** to keep track of package updates;
- **CONTRIBUTION.md** Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct;
- **LICENSE** terms of how much freedom other programmers is allowed to use this library;
- **README.md** it is a mini documentation of the library, this is usually the "home page" of your repo if you published it on GitHub and Packagist;
- **composer.json** is where the information about your library is stored, like package name, author and dependencies;
- **phpunit.xml** It is a configuration file of PHPUnit, so that tests classes will be able to test the classes you've written;
