This project welcomes pull requests to fix bugs!
If you see a bug report that you'd like to fix, please feel free to do so. Following the directions and guidelines described in the "Adding New Features" section below, you may create bugfix branches and send pull requests.
If you have an idea for a new feature, it's a good idea to check out the issues or active pull requests first to see if anyone is already working on the feature. If not, feel free to submit an issue first, asking whether the feature is beneficial to the project. This will save you from doing a lot of development work only to have your feature rejected. We don't enjoy rejecting your hard work, but some features don't fit with the goals of the project.
When you do begin working on your feature, here are some guidelines to consider:
- Your pull request description should clearly detail the changes you have made. We will use this description to update the CHANGELOG. If there is no description, or it does not adequately describe your feature, we may ask you to update the description.
- ramsey/php-library-starter-kit follows a superset of PSR-12 coding standard.
Please ensure your code does, too. Hint: run
composer dev:lint
to check. - Please write tests for any new features you add.
- Please ensure that tests pass before submitting your pull request.
ramsey/php-library-starter-kit automatically runs tests for pull requests. However,
running the tests locally will help save time. Hint: run
composer test
. - Use topic/feature branches. Please do not ask to pull from your main branch.
- For more information, see "Understanding the GitHub flow."
- Submit one feature per pull request. If you have multiple features you wish to submit, please break them into separate pull requests.
- Write good commit messages. This project follows the
Conventional Commits specification and uses Git hooks to ensure all
commits follow this standard. Running
composer install
will set up the Git hooks, so when you rungit commit
, you'll be prompted to create a commit using the Conventional Commits rules.
To develop this project, you will need PHP 7.4 or greater and Composer.
After cloning this repository locally, execute the following commands:
cd /path/to/repository
composer install
Now, you are ready to develop!
This project uses CaptainHook to validate all staged changes prior to commit.
To see all the commands available for contributing to this project:
composer list dev
This project follows a superset of PSR-12 coding standards, enforced by PHP_CodeSniffer.
CaptainHook will run coding standards checks before committing.
You may lint the codebase manually using the following commands:
# Lint
composer dev:lint
# Attempt to auto-fix coding standards issues
composer dev:lint:fix
This project uses a combination of PHPStan and Psalm to provide static analysis of PHP code.
CaptainHook will run static analysis checks before committing.
You may run static analysis manually across the whole codebase with the following command:
# Static analysis
composer dev:analyze
This project uses pds/skeleton as its base folder structure and layout.
The following must pass before we will accept a pull request. If this does not
pass, it will result in a complete build failure. Before you can run this, be
sure to composer install
.
To run all the tests and coding standards checks, execute the following from the command line, while in the project root directory:
composer test
CaptainHook will automatically run all tests before pushing to the remote repository.
You can test Composer's create-project
command locally to make sure the
starter kit wizard runs properly with your changes. To do so, use a command
similar to the following:
composer create-project ramsey/php-library-starter-kit YOUR-PROJECT-NAME \
--repository='{ "type": "path", "url": "/path/to/local/php-library-starter-kit", "options": { "symlink": false } }' \
--remove-vcs \
--stability=dev
