Usage ----- [](#usage) Using it as a slow substitute for php-ast - [tests/TolerantASTConverter/ConversionTest.php](https://github.com/TysonAndre/tolerant-php-parser-to-php-ast/blob/master/tests/TolerantASTConverter/ConversionTest.php) Using it as an error-tolerant substitute for php-ast (e.g. for use in IDEs) - There are currently two modes: omitting errors and adding placeholders (e.g. `__INCOMPLETE_VARIABLE__`). - Omitting errors only handles some common cases that come up while editing a file. - Placeholders may change in the future. - [tests/ASTConverter/ErrorTolerantConversionTest.php](https://github.com/TysonAndre/tolerant-php-parser-to-php-ast/blob/master/tests/ASTConverter/ErrorTolerantConversionTest.php) - [Phan's](https://github.com/phan/phan) Language Server uses this code to do that. Running unit tests ------------------ [](#running-unit-tests) To run unit tests, you must install [nikic/php-ast](https://github.com/nikic/php-ast) 1.0.1+ (for the expected results to be created). You must also run `composer install` if you haven't already done so. - For php 7.4, php-ast 1.0.3+ must be installed. - For php 8.0, php-ast 1.0.10+ must be installed. - Then run `vendor/bin/phpunit` Possible Future Enhancements ---------------------------- [](#possible-future-enhancements) - Adding a mode to never accept invalid PHP (for completeness) ### Health Score 27 — LowBetter than 49% of packages Maintenance16 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity14 Limited adoption so far Community11 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity58 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 98.4% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
