PhpZone¶
PhpZone is a generic tool for the easy creation of YAML configured console applications. Its primary purpose is to provide a centralized automation tool for developers to simplify development workflow. Basically it is a wrapper around commands to provide a unified command line tool.
Note
As it’s built on Symfony components without rapid custom modifications, it can be used as an application skeleton for any individual commands.
Attention
Its power is based on simplicity of centralized configuration via YAML and main value comes from extensions.
Basic Usage¶
An example speaks a hundred words so let’s go through one.
Create a phpzone.yml
file in the root of a project:
extensions:
PhpZone\Shell\Shell: # register an extension with a configuration
tests:
- vendor/bin/behat
- vendor/bin/phpunit
- vendor/bin/phpspec
and run:
$ vendor/bin/phpzone tests
As you would expect, the configuration contains the definition for the command tests
and when you run it, all
defined sub-commands will be executed.
Important
The PhpZone\Shell\Shell
extension is not a part of the phpzone/phpzone
package, but an aside project
based on PhpZone. More info in a chapter dedicated to official extensions.
