README

This repository contains a custom Composer installer meant for projects that use parsers written using the fpoirotte/php_parsergenerator Composer package.

When a package relying on this installer is installed or updated, its parsers will automatically be rebuilt if necessary, based on their source grammar. Likewise, those parsers are automatically erased when the package is uninstalled.

Usage

To use this installer, edit your project's composer.json file:

• Set the type to php-parsers
• Add a requirement on fpoirotte/php_parsergenerator_installer
• Declare your parsers using the php-parsers extra option

The extra option may contain either:

• A list of relative paths to grammars: for each such grammar, a parser will be generated in the same folder with the same base name (eg. src/Foo.y gets compiled into src/Foo.php)
• A mapping between the expected parsers and their source grammar (see below)

For example, the erebot/intl Composer package uses the following configuration to build a parser in src/PluralParser.php based on the contents of the grammar located in data/PluralParser.y, relative to the package's root directory:

json

{

"name": "erebot/intl", "type": "php-parsers", "require": { "fpoirotte/php_parsergenerator_installer": "^0.1.0" }, "extra": { "php-parsers": { "src/PluralParser.php": "data/PluralParser.y" } }

}

Now, when installing/updating a package that uses this installer, you will see output similar to this one:

console
