README

ericsizemore/php-project-template started as a template to be used for my own future repos/libraries, with the goal of eventually bringing my current repos to parity with this setup.

This package can be used to create a basic PHP library package/repository, complete with a directory structure and starting files (i.e., README, LICENSE, issue templates, PHPUnit configuration, etc.) commonly found in PHP libraries.

Important

Once you create a new repository based on this template, or a project if via Composer, it is important that you change all mention of 'esi/php-project-template' and 'ericsizemore/php-project-template' to your vendor/library and github-username/repository name. Obviously, this is also necessary for the vendor\namespace and filenames inside the src and tests folders. It is also important to setup and modify workflows per Workflow Setup.

Note

Files that may need changed per the above IMPORTANT information: all files within the .github directory, composer.json, $header block in .php-cs-fixer.dist.php, CONTRIBUTING.md, LICENSE, README.md, and SECURITY.md.

Note

The issue templates in .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE, the pull request template at .github/pull_request_template.md, and the Renovate config at renovate.json assume you have created labels for: bug, dependency, enhancement, fix, unverified, and verified`.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

$ composer create-project ericsizemore/php-project-template YOUR-PROJECT-NAME

You can also create a repository from this template on GitHub.

Workflow Setup

The continuous-integration.yml workflow expects the project to exist on Scrutinizer so that it can upload coverage reports. It also makes use of CodeCov, so it will require a new repository/action secret named CODECOV_TOKEN.

Renovate is used to handle automated updating of composer dependencies with a config file at renovate.json. A merge-me.yml workflow is provided to automatically merge PR's created by Renovate. This requires Allow auto-merge to be enabled in repository settings, and a new repository/action secret named MERGE_TOKEN.

          # Create a token with repository permissions:
          # https://github.com/settings/tokens/new?scopes=repo&description=Merge+Me!+GitHub+Actions+Workflow
          #
          # Set MERGE_TOKEN as an environment variable on your repository:
          # https://github.com/yourname/repo-name/settings/secrets/actions/new

The mutation-test portion of the continuous-integration.yml workflow sends mutation coverage (handled with Infection) information to Stryker and requires a new repository/action secret named STRYKER_DASHBOARD_API_KEY.
