This package provides you with a simple tool to set up a new package and it will let you focus on the development of the package instead of the boilerplate. If you like a visual explanation [check out this video by Jeffrey Way on Laracasts](https://laracasts.com/series/building-laracasts/episodes/3).



## Installation



Via Composer



```bash

composer require jeroen-g/laravel-packager --dev

```



If you do not run Laravel 5.5 (or higher), then add the service provider in `config/app.php`:



```php

JeroenG\Packager\PackagerServiceProvider::class,

```



If you do run the package on Laravel 5.5+, [package auto-discovery](https://medium.com/@taylorotwell/package-auto-discovery-in-laravel-5-5-ea9e3ab20518) takes care of the magic of adding the service provider.

Be aware that the auto-discovery also means that this package is loaded in your production environment. Therefore you may [disable auto-discovery](https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/packages#package-discovery) and instead put in your `AppServiceProvider` something like this:



```php

if ($this->app->environment('local')) {

    $this->app->register('JeroenG\Packager\PackagerServiceProvider');

}

```



Optional you can publish the configuration to provide a different service provider stub. The default is [here](https://github.com/jeroen-g/packager-skeleton).



```bash

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="JeroenG\Packager\PackagerServiceProvider"

```



## Available commands



### New

**Command:**

```bash

php artisan packager:new my-vendor my-package

```



**Result:**

The command will handle practically everything for you. It will create a packages directory, creates the vendor and package directory in it, pulls in a skeleton package, sets up composer.json and creates a service provider.



**Options:**

```bash

php artisan packager:new my-vendor my-package --i

php artisan packager:new --i

```

The package will be created interactively, allowing to configure everything in the package's `composer.json`, such as the license and package description.



```bash

php artisan packager:new my-vendor/my-package

```

Alternatively you may also define your vendor and name with a forward slash instead of a space.



**Remarks:**

The new package will be based on [this custom skeleton](https://github.com/jeroen-g/packager-skeleton). If you want to use a different package skeleton, you can either:

- (A) publish the configuration file and change the default skeleton that will be used by all `packager:new` calls.

- (B) use the flag `--skeleton="http://github.com/path/to/archive/master.zip"` with your own skeleton to use the given skeleton for this one run instead of the one in the configuration.



### Get & Git

**Command:**

```bash

php artisan packager:get https://github.com/author/repository

php artisan packager:git https://github.com/author/repository

```



**Result:**

This will register the package in the app's `composer.json` file.

If the `packager:git` command is used, the entire Git repository is cloned. If `packager:get` is used, the package will be downloaded, without a repository. This also works with Bitbucket repositories, but you have to provide the flag `--host=bitbucket` for the `packager:get` command.



**Options:**

```bash

php artisan packager:get https://github.com/author/repository --branch=develop

php artisan packager:get https://github.com/author/repository my-vendor my-package

php artisan packager:git https://github.com/author/repository my-vendor my-package

```

It is possible to specify a branch with the `--branch` option. If you specify a vendor and name directly after the url, those will be used instead of the pieces of the url.



### Tests

**Command:**

```bash

php artisan packager:tests

```



**Result:**

Packager will go through all maintaining packages (in `packages/`) and publish their tests to `tests/packages`.

Add the following to phpunit.xml (under the other testsuites) in order to run the tests from the packages:

```xml



    ./tests/packages



```



**Options:**

```bash

php artisan packager:tests my-vendor my-package

```



**Remarks:**

If a tests folder exists, the files will be copied to a dedicated folder in the Laravel App tests folder. This allows you to use all of Laravel's own testing functions without any hassle.



### List

**Command:**

```bash

php artisan packager:list

```



**Result:**

An overview of all packages in the `/packages` directory.



**Options:**

```bash

php artisan packager:list --git

```

The packages are displayed with information on the git status (branch, commit difference with origin) if it is a git repository.



### Remove

**Command:**

```bash

php artisan packager:remove my-vendor my-package

```



**Result:**

The `my-vendor\my-package` package is deleted, including its references in `composer.json` and `config/app.php`.



### Publish

**Command:**

```bash

php artisan packager:publish my-vendor my-package https://github.com/my-vendor/my-package

```



**Result:**

The `my-vendor\my-package` package will be published to Github using the provided url.



### Check

**Command:**

```bash

php artisan packager:check my-vendor my-package

```



**Result:**

The `my-vendor\my-package` package will be checked for security vulnerabilities using SensioLabs security checker.



**Remarks**

You first need to run



```bash

composer require sensiolabs/security-checker

```



## Issues with cURL SSL certificate

It turns out that, especially on Windows, there might arise some problems with the downloading of the skeleton, due to a file regarding SSL certificates missing on the OS. This can be solved by opening up your .env file and putting this in it:

```

CURL_VERIFY=false

```

Of course this means it will be less secure, but then again you are not supposed to run this package anywhere near a production environment.



## Issues with timeout

If you are having problems with timeouts when creating new packages, you can now change the config variable timeout in config/packager.php to fix this.
