Allows configuration of PHPUnit and TravisCI 1.1.1(10y ago)015MITPHP Since Nov 28Pushed 10y ago1 watchersCompare [ Source](https://github.com/Stillat/php-package)[ Packagist](https://packagist.org/packages/stillat/php-package)[ RSS](/packages/stillat-php-package/feed)WikiDiscussions master Synced 2mo ago READMEChangelog (3)DependenciesVersions (4)Used By (0) PHP Package =========== [](#php-package) PHP Package is a template for the [NewUp](https://github.com/newup/newup) package generator. The NewUp generator is a general-purpose tool for creating things from templates; PHP Package is a template that provides you with a starting point for your PHP projects. - [Installation](#installation) - [General Usage](#usage) - [Specifying a PHP Version](#phpv) - [PSR-0 / PSR-4](#psr) - [PHPUnit Integration](#phpunit) - [TravisCI Integration](#travis) - [License](#license) Installation ------------ [](#installation) First, make sure you have [NewUp](https://github.com/newup/newup) installed and configured. Afterwards, you can run this command: `newup template:install stillat/php-package` NewUp will then install and configure everything it needs to internally for the `php-package` template. General Usage ------------- [](#general-usage) After you have installed the `php-package` template, we are ready to create a new PHP Package: `newup a stillat/php-package vendor/package ` In the above example, replace `vendor/package` with the vendor and package name of your new package (for example `stillat/php-package`) and replace `` with the directory you want the package to be created in. Used with no options, PHP Package will create a directory/file structure similar to the following: ``` src/ .gitignore composer.json ``` The `src/` directory is where you will create your new package/library. It is empty so you have a fresh starting point. This directory will be autoloaded by Composer using the `psr-0` autoloader. The `.gitignore` file contains quite a few options set for you by default, with instructions on how to remove configured options and where to find more. The `composer.json` file is your standard `composer.json` file. If you configured NewUp with your name and email address, the authors field will already be filled in for you. Specifying a PHP version ------------------------ [](#specifying-a-php-version) You can specify a PHP version that your package requires by providing an extra parameter when generating your package: `newup a stillat/php-package vendor/package ` By default, the PHP version is set to `>=5.5.9`. For example, we could easily state that our package needs at least PHP 5.6 when creating our package (pay special attention to the quotes!): `newup a stillat/php-package vendor/package ">=5.6"` PSR-0 / PSR-4 ------------- [](#psr-0--psr-4) You can choose which autoloader to use by supplying a value for the `--psr` option. The following table lists the valid values you can use: AutoloaderValueExamplePSR-0`psr0``newup a stillat/php-package vendor/package --psr=psr0`PSR-4`psr4``newup a stillat/php-package vendor/package --psr=psr4`The PSR-4 autoloader is selected by default. When choosing to use the PSR-0 autoloader, directory scaffolding will automatically be created for you. For example, if the package name was `stillat/test`, the following directory structure would be created when using the PSR-0 autoloader: ``` / │── src/ │ ├── Stillat/ │ │ ├────── Test/ ├── composer.json ├── .gitignore ``` This is different that when using the PSR-4 autoloader, as the `src/` directory would just be empty. PHPUnit Integration ------------------- [](#phpunit-integration) To enable PHPUnit support on your generated package, just add the "--phpunit" switch to the end of the command: `newup a stillat/php-package vendor/package --phpunit` The following additional directories/files will be created for you: ``` tests/ tests/ExampleTest.php phpunit.xml ``` The `tests/` directory will be where your tests will live. An example test (`tests/ExampleTest.php` is already included in this directory (this can be safely deleted). The `phpunit.xml` file contains the configuration for PHPUnit. It is already configured with sensible defaults and features a customized test suite name. In addition to creating new directories and files for you, opting in to PHPUnit integration will also update your generated `composer.json` file to include `mockery/mockery` and `phpunit/phpunit` automatically. TravisCI Integration -------------------- [](#travisci-integration) If you would like to rapidly configure TravisCI for your project, just add the `--travis` switch to the end of the command: `newup a stillat/php-package vendor/package --travis` You will see interactive prompts that will guide you through the configuration process. An example session might look something like this: ``` Would you like to add a PHP version to test? [Y/n] Y Which PHP version would you like to test? 5.5.9 Do you want to allow failures for PHP version 5.5.9? [y/N] N Would you like to add a PHP version to test? [Y/n] Y Which PHP version would you like to test? 5.6 Do you want to allow failures for PHP version 5.6? [y/N] N Would you like to add a PHP version to test? [Y/n] Y Which PHP version would you like to test? 7.0 Do you want to allow failures for PHP version 7.0? [y/N] Y Would you like to add a PHP version to test? [Y/n] Y Which PHP version would you like to test? hhvm Do you want to allow failures for PHP version hhvm? [y/N] N Would you like to add a PHP version to test? [Y/n] N ``` This would generate a `.travis.yml` file similar to the following: ``` language: php php: - 5.5.9 - 5.6 - 7.0 - hhvm matrix: allow_failures: - php: 7.0 sudo: false install: travis_retry composer install --no-interaction --prefer-source ``` ### TravisCI and PHPUnit [](#travisci-and-phpunit) If you specify both the `--travis` and the `--phpunit` flags, the following script will be added to the end of your `.travis.yml` file automatically for you: `script: vendor/bin/phpunit` License ------- [](#license) Licensed under the MIT License.
