PharCompiler is a compiler to easily create PHAR files. The concept is that you create a
new instance of the compiler to which you give the name of the PHAR file. Next you add the
files that should be packed into the archive and last you call compile.
Compiling a .phar file is easy.
<?php
// build.php:
$compiler = new \WT\PharCompiler\Compiler('my.phar');
$compiler->setVariable('package_version', '1.0.0');
$compiler->addFile(__DIR__ . '/src/test.php');
$compiler->compile();
By using addFile and addDirectory you can add a list of files to the archive.
It's possible to add meta data to the compiler. This meta data is injected in the source files. For example:
<?php
// build.php:
$compiler = new \WT\PharCompiler\Compiler();
$compiler->setVariable('package_version', '1.0.0');
$compiler->addFile(__DIR__ . '/src/test.php');
$compiler->compile();
<?php
// test.php:
echo 'Version: @package_version@';
