If you like a visual explanation [check out this video by Jeffrey Way on Laracasts](https://laracasts.com/series/building-laracasts/episodes/3). Installation ------------ [](#installation) Via Composer ``` composer require thegeekengineer/laravel-packager --dev ``` If you do not run Laravel 5.5 (or higher), then add the service provider in `config/app.php`: ``` TheGeekEnginee\Packager\PackagerServiceProvider::class, ``` If you do run the package on Laravel 5.5+, [package auto-discovery](https://medium.com/@taylorotwell/package-auto-discovery-in-laravel-5-5-ea9e3ab20518) takes care of the magic of adding the service provider. Be aware that the auto-discovery also means that this package is loaded in your production environment. Therefore you may [disable auto-discovery](https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/packages#package-discovery) and instead put in your `AppServiceProvider` something like this: ``` if ($this->app->environment('local')) { $this->app->register('TheGeekEnginee\Packager\PackagerServiceProvider'); } ``` Optional you can publish the configuration to provide a different service provider stub. The default is [here](https://github.com/thegeekengineer/packager-skeleton). ``` php artisan vendor:publish --provider="TheGeekEnginee\Packager\PackagerServiceProvider" ``` Available commands ------------------ [](#available-commands) ### New [](#new) **Command:** ``` php artisan packager:new my-vendor my-package ``` **Result:**The command will handle practically everything for you. It will create a packages directory, creates the vendor and package directory in it, pulls in a skeleton package, sets up composer.json and creates a service provider. **Options:** ``` php artisan packager:new my-vendor my-package --i php artisan packager:new --i ``` The package will be created interactively, allowing to configure everything in the package's `composer.json`, such as the license and package description. ``` php artisan packager:new my-vendor/my-package ``` Alternatively you may also define your vendor and name with a forward slash instead of a space. **Remarks:**The new package will be based on [this custom skeleton](https://github.com/thegeekengineer/packager-skeleton). If you want to use a different package skeleton, you can either: - (A) publish the configuration file and change the default skeleton that will be used by all `packager:new` calls. - (B) use the flag `--skeleton="http://github.com/path/to/archive/master.zip"` with your own skeleton to use the given skeleton for this one run instead of the one in the configuration. ### Get & Git [](#get--git) **Command:** ``` php artisan packager:get https://github.com/author/repository php artisan packager:git https://github.com/author/repository ``` **Result:**This will register the package in the app's `composer.json` file. If the `packager:git` command is used, the entire Git repository is cloned. If `packager:get` is used, the package will be downloaded, without a repository. This also works with Bitbucket repositories, but you have to provide the flag `--host=bitbucket` for the `packager:get` command. **Options:** ``` php artisan packager:get https://github.com/author/repository --branch=develop php artisan packager:get https://github.com/author/repository my-vendor my-package php artisan packager:git https://github.com/author/repository my-vendor my-package ``` It is possible to specify a branch with the `--branch` option. If you specify a vendor and name directly after the url, those will be used instead of the pieces of the url. ### Tests [](#tests) **Command:** ``` php artisan packager:tests ``` **Result:**Packager will go through all maintaining packages (in `packages/`) and publish their tests to `tests/packages`. Add the following to phpunit.xml (under the other testsuites) in order to run the tests from the packages: ``` ./tests/packages ``` **Options:** ``` php artisan packager:tests my-vendor my-package ``` **Remarks:**If a tests folder exists, the files will be copied to a dedicated folder in the Laravel App tests folder. This allows you to use all of Laravel's own testing functions without any hassle. ### List [](#list) **Command:** ``` php artisan packager:list ``` **Result:**An overview of all packages in the `/packages` directory. **Options:** ``` php artisan packager:list --git ``` The packages are displayed with information on the git status (branch, commit difference with origin) if it is a git repository. ### Remove [](#remove) **Command:** ``` php artisan packager:remove my-vendor my-package ``` **Result:**The `my-vendor\my-package` package is deleted, including its references in `composer.json` and `config/app.php`. ### Publish [](#publish) **Command:** ``` php artisan packager:publish my-vendor my-package https://github.com/my-vendor/my-package ``` **Result:**The `my-vendor\my-package` package will be published to Github using the provided url. ### Check [](#check) **Command:** ``` php artisan packager:check my-vendor my-package ``` **Result:**The `my-vendor\my-package` package will be checked for security vulnerabilities using SensioLabs security checker. **Remarks**You first need to run ``` composer require sensiolabs/security-checker ``` Issues with cURL SSL certificate -------------------------------- [](#issues-with-curl-ssl-certificate) It turns out that, especially on Windows, there might arise some problems with the downloading of the skeleton, due to a file regarding SSL certificates missing on the OS. This can be solved by opening up your .env file and putting this in it: ``` CURL_VERIFY=false ``` Of course this means it will be less secure, but then again you are not supposed to run this package anywhere near a production environment. Issues with timeout ------------------- [](#issues-with-timeout) If you are having problems with timeouts when creating new packages, you can now change the config variable timeout in config/packager.php to fix this.
