Paerius
=======

[](#paerius)

Bundles your vendor directory into a single PHP Archive (PHAR).

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

`php.ini` edit phar settings:

```
; http://php.net/phar.readonly
phar.readonly = Off
; http://php.net/phar.require-hash
phar.require_hash = Off

```

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Add Pmt to your project using Composer:

```
composer require axute/paerius

```

Files that will be deleted
--------------------------

[](#files-that-will-be-deleted)

See [Paerius.php](src/Paerius.php) at class fields for files that will be deleted (in vendor path).

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Run the binary to create/update your PHAR file:

```
php vendor/bin/paerius

```

### Compression

[](#compression)

Files in phar archive will be tried to compress.

PHP Extension is required (optionaly).

force special compression (bz2/gz/none)

default is bzip2 (if installed, fallback gzip if installed, fallback none)

bzip2 < gzip < none

```
php vendor/bin/paerius bz

php vendor/bin/paerius gz

php vendor/bin/paerius none

```

A new file named `vendor.phar` will be added to your working directory (project root). Update your bootstrap to include `./vendor.phar` instead of `vendor/autoload.php` and you're good to go.

```
$autoload = require_once __DIR__ . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'vendor.phar';
$autoload->addPsr4('[YOUR NAMESPACE]',__DIR__.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'src');

```

### Automate

[](#automate)

To generate `vendor.phar` automaticly, add the following lines to **your** composer.json

```
"scripts": {
    "post-install-cmd": "vendor/bin/paerius",
    "post-update-cmd": "vendor/bin/paerius"
}

```
