### Package skeleton demo using [*Shudd3r/Skeletons*](https://github.com/shudd3r/skeletons)

[](#package-skeleton-demo-using-shudd3rskeletons)

Skeleton package built to illustrate how it can be managed by script that uses **shudd3r/skeletons** library.

### Installation

[](#installation)

It is recommended to use it globally as an exacutable application - downloaded `example-skeleton.phar`archive from the [latest release](https://github.com/shudd3r/skeleton-example/releases/latest)asset files and placed it in one of the operating system's `PATH` directories. More on *Windows* executable `.phar` files [here](#windows-executable).

[![Download file](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/98f3940588a35a3f09c0a27b351f8246afc25500c1528afeb82a9885f5de53e5/68747470733a2f2f696d672e736869656c64732e696f2f62616467652f646f776e6c6f61642d6578616d706c652d2d736b656c65746f6e2e706861722d677265656e)](https://github.com/shudd3r/skeleton-example/releases/latest/download/example-skeleton.phar)

During deployment process or for a small number of projects you can install this package with [*Composer*](https://getcomposer.org/) as one of package's dev dependencies:

```
composer require --dev shudd3r/skeleton-example
```

Note that using this method will require you to download this package for each project using the skeleton.

### Basic Usage

[](#basic-usage)

To use skeleton application, **run the script from the root directory of your project**. If you installed it globally as `example-skeleton.phar` and made it executable by your operating system, you can simply run `example-skeleton` instead of `vendor/bin/example-skeleton` in the examples below.

- Display help message with usage details (`help` command is optional): ```
    vendor/bin/example-skeleton help
    ```
- Initialize package with skeleton files providing template replacement values through interactive shell: ```
    vendor/bin/example-skeleton init
    ```
- Validate project's consistency with skeleton (can be added to CI workflow): ```
    vendor/bin/example-skeleton check
    ```
- Update placeholders through interactive shell or using provided argument: ```
    vendor/bin/example-skeleton update
    vendor/bin/example-skeleton update ns=UpdatedNamespace\Package
    ```
- Synchronize files with template: ```
    vendor/bin/example-skeleton sync
    ```

### Windows executable

[](#windows-executable)

To run the script globally from console with simple `example-skeleton` command:

1. You need to place downloaded `.phar` file in one of (executable) PATH directories or add new one to directory list in %PATH% environment variable. You can change environment variables by running: ```
    SystemPropertiesAdvanced.exe
    ```
2. Windows doesn't support shebang parsing, so files that can't be executed directly need to be assigned to their interpreter manually. The easiest way to make concrete `.phar` file executable is to create `.bat` runner file with the following command: ```
    echo '@php "%~dp0example-skeleton.phar" %*' > example-skeleton.bat
    ```
