PHP Project Starter is a command line tool that allows developers to quickly create PHP applications that use common conventions and best-in-breed development tools. The goals of this application are to guide developers towards best practices and get them from zero-to-CI in seconds.
The applications created by this tool have an opinionated directory structure, build system, and pre-configured set of service connections with badges ready to go. Refer to the Tools And Conventions and Directory Structure sections below for more details.
See the examples below for repositories created by the PHP Project Starter tool:
Download php-project.phar
from https://github.com/cpliakas/php-project-starter/releases/latest,
curl -O http://www.chrispliakas.com/php-project-starter/download/latest/php-project.phar
Run php php-project.phar --help
to see all options supported by the command
line tool and ensure that installation succeeded.
It is also common practice to place the php-project.phar
file in a location
that makes it easier to access, for example /usr/local/bin
, and renaming it
to php-project
. Ensure the file is executable by running chmod 755
so that
you don't have to prefix the command with php
.
php php-project.phar new \
--label="My Project" \
--description="A longer description for My Project" \
--namespace="My\Project" \
cpliakas/my-project
Pass the --jenkins-url
option to post a job to Jenkins that consumes the
build artifacts.
Make a new repository
matching the project name (e.g. cpliakas/my-project
) and push your code. Note
that the origin
remote is already set in the repository.
cd ../path/to/working-copy
git push -u origin master
Run the following command to update PHP Project Starter to the latest stable version:
php php-project.phar self-update
Running ant
in the newly created project's root directory will download
Composer, install development dependencies, run PHPUnit, and generate a code
coverage report and software metrics in the ./build
directory.
The main targets can be found by running ant -p
and are listed below:
clean
: Cleanup build artifactsclean-src
: Cleanup dependency source codeclean-all
: Cleanup build artifacts and dependency source codecomposer
: Run composer updatelint
: Perform syntax check of sourcecode filespdepend
: Calculate software metrics using PHP_Dependphpcpd
: Find duplicate code using PHPCPDphploc
: Measure project size using PHPLOCphpmd
: Perform mess detection using PHPMD, print human readable output.phpmd-ci
: Perform mess detection using PHPMD, creating a log file for the CI serverphpunit
: Run unit tests with PHPUnitCommon command line options that set Ant properties are listed below:
-Dcomposer.noselfupdate=1
: Do not run composer self-update
during the build-Dcomposer.noupdate=1
: Do not run composer update
during the buildTools and conventions that this template expects the PHP project being started to embrace.
