Lines of code and PHP Features
==============================

[](#lines-of-code-and-php-features)

CLI tool for quick size measure of PHP project, and real used PHP features.

Zero dependencies. Runs anywhere.

What are killer features?
-------------------------

[](#what-are-killer-features)

- install anywhere - PHP 7.2? PHPUnit 6? Symfony 3? Not a problem, this package **has zero dependencies and works on PHP 7.2+**
- get quick overview of your project size - no details, no complexity, just lines of code
- get easy **JSON output** for further processing
- measure **used PHP features in your project** - how much PHP 8.0-features used? How many attributes? How many arrow function? How many union types?

Install
-------

[](#install)

The package is scoped and downgraded to PHP 7.2. So you can install it anywhere with any set of dependencies:

```
composer require tomasvotruba/lines --dev
```

1. Measure Lines and Size
-------------------------

[](#1-measure-lines-and-size)

```
vendor/bin/lines measure
```

By default, we measure the root directory. To narrow it down, provide explicit path:

```
vendor/bin/lines measure src
```

For short output:

```
vendor/bin/lines measure --short
```

For json output, just add `--json`:

```
vendor/bin/lines measure --json
```

Also, you can combine them (very handy for blog posts and tweets):

```
vendor/bin/lines measure --short --json
```

For the text output, you'll get data like these:

```

### Longest files

[](#longest-files)

Are you looking for top 10 longest files?

```
vendor/bin/lines measure --longest
```

```
 ----------------------------------------------------- ------------
  Longest files                                         Line count
 ----------------------------------------------------- ------------
  src/Measurements.php                                         320
  src/Console/OutputFormatter/TextOutputFormatter.php          136
  src/NodeVisitor/StructureNodeVisitor.php                     124
  src/Console/Command/MeasureCommand.php                        98
  src/Analyser.php                                              92
 ----------------------------------------------------- ------------

```

### Scan package in `/vendor`

[](#scan-package-in-vendor)

This tool measures *your code*, not the 3rd party libraries. It skips `/vendor` directory by default to avoid false positives. If you want to measure vendor files too, use `--allow-vendor` option:

```
 vendor/bin/lines measure vendor/rector/rector --allow-vendor
```

2. PHP Feature Counter
----------------------

[](#2-php-feature-counter)

Two codebases using PHP 8.4 in `composer.json`, are not the same codebases. One has zero type param/return/property declarations, other has promoted properties. Reveal their real value by counting PHP feature they actually use.

```
vendor/bin/lines features src
```

For json output, just add `--json`:

```
vendor/bin/lines features src --json
```

This command:

- scans your codebase,
- count PHP feature being used from which PHP version,
- gives you quick overview of how modern the codebase really is

For the text output, you'll get data like these:

```
