PHP Library Prototype

PHP Library Prototype is a tool to quickly initiate the development of a new PHP library.

Features

The aim of this prototype is to save time when starting to develop a PHP library. It will:

• Download and install basic files - a class and its test class with proper namespaces
• Install popular QA tools: phpunit, phpstan and phpcs
• Generate basic .gitignore and README files

Please note that .gitignore file is based upon gitignore.io API.

Requirements

• PHP >= 7.3
• php-xml extension
• php-mbstring extension
• Composer

Check the PHP roadmap to see the PHP versions supported by this library.

Usage

Creating a library is a simple two-step process.

1. First, create a project from this prototype. Replace MyDirectory with your own value to create the project and move into the created directory:

$ composer create-project jpchateau/prototype-php-library MyDirectory && cd $_

2. Then, run the install command to complete the process. Replace MyCompany and MyProject with your own values:

$ make company=MyCompany project=MyProject install

You are ready to develop!
Don't forget to pick up a license ;)
