DomHandler uses the [decorator design pattern](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decorator_pattern) in order to ease DOM handling.

The source code has been originally created into the [PackageGenerator](https://github.com/WsdlToPhp/PackageGenerator) project but it felt that it had the possibility to live by itself and to evolve independtly from the PackageGenerator project if necessary.

Testing using [Docker](https://www.docker.com/)
-----------------------------------------------

[](#testing-using-docker)

Thanks to the [Docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/splitbrain/phpfarm) of [phpfarm](https://github.com/fpoirotte/phpfarm), tests can be run locally under *any* PHP version using the cli:

- php-7.4

First of all, you need to create your container which you can do using [docker-compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/) by running the below command line from the root directory of the project:

```
$ docker-compose up -d --build
```

You then have a container named `dom_handler` in which you can run `composer` commands and `php cli` commands such as:

```
# install deps in container (using update ensure it does use the composer.lock file if there is any)
$ docker exec -it dom_handler php-7.4 /usr/bin/composer update
# run tests in container
$ docker exec -it dom_handler php-7.4 -dmemory_limit=-1 vendor/bin/phpunit
```
