phpgt / installer Goto Github PK

Currently one can pass the -p|--port flag to indicate which port to bind to only when running gt serve, but it would be really useful to expose this to gt run too.

Currently database migrations have to be run with /vendor/bin/db-migrate

Dependabot needs to be tamed, as per PhpGt/WebEngine#568

• Detect operating system
• Check required software available: php, git, composer, docker
• Prefer to do everything through docker if available, but give option to user
• Add composer bin directory to PATH if not already
• Global composer install

Use command -v whatever to detect if the whatever command is available.

gt run --no-cron
gt run --no-build

For when you don't want that to happen.

From the same project, vendor/bin/db-migrate --force works, but gt migrate --force doesn't seem to do anything.

The installation script at php.gt/install can be hosted separately, but it doesn't make sense to name this repo "installer" when it has very little responsibility in the installation of anything.

In some CLI-based repos, the examples/ directory is used to contain scripts to articulate the usage. Seeing as this repo is only calling CLI scripts and doesn't contain any unit tests, this would be really useful to see.

Something like 01-example-cron-build.bash:

cd /tmp
gt create example-new-project
cd example-new-project
gt cron
gt build

This would also act as a quality assurance layer, to actually ensure the scripts do what they expect.

This repo isn't really unit test-able. There could be some bash-based tests that run the different commands and check for expected output. This would be easy to hook up with Github Actions too.

Current status is displayed in the last line of terminal output. Any important messages are put on lines above last line.

The progress bar is achieved by making the terminal background "negative" by flipping the foreground and background colours.

The same effect can be observed when performing snap install on Ubuntu.

When inside a webengine repo, it would be useful to have the command gt add to add template files of certain types.

For example:

gt add page about # creates page/about.html and page/about.php with minimal code
gt add api user/settings # creates api/user/settings.php with minimal code
gt add query select user/getById # creates query/user/getById.php as select query builder

Just an idea for now...

Rather than having to use the vendor approach.

Rather than relying on composer's global installation, a script named gt can be placed in the project's root, so the developer can type php gt run or whatever they need.

This also further enforces the brand phpgt as that's exactly what they'll be typing each time.
