HiDev

Automation tool mixed with code generator for easier continuous development

Simplifies and automates:

package management: Composer, Packagist
releasing: README, LICENSE, CHANGELOG, version bumping
CI services integration: Travis, Scrutinizer
testing: PHPUnit, Codeception
code quality checking: PHP-CS-Fixer, VersionEye
version control management: .gitignore, GitHub
PHAR building with Box
code generation with php and twig templates

Functionality is provided and can be extended with plugins.

Installation

There are several ways of installation in order of preference:

download PHAR from http://hiqdev.com/hidev/hidev.phar
require hiqdev/hidev in your project’s composer.json
install globally with composer global require "hiqdev/hidev:*"

Idea

The main idea behind HiDev is to combine code generator and build tool to stop
copying config files between your projects. And automate all the repeated tasks
of course. But firstly generate all the files that can be generated, e.g.:

.gitignore, README.md, LICENSE, CHANGELOG.md
composer.json
.travis.yml, .scrutinizer.yml
phpunit.xml, codeception.yml
.php_cs

You write a simple config specifying general information about your package
and plugins to be used. HiDev alone does nothing at all! You specify what
you want it to do in config or use plugins. There are predefined plugins with
generally usable configs or you can create plugins yourself.

For example, hiqdev/hidev-php plugin is a general config for PHP projects and
will enable HiDev to create all the listed above files and adds goals to use:

hidev default or simply hidev will update config files according to the changes you made
hidev fix: will update .php_cs file and run php-cs-fixer to fix code style of your PHP files
hidev test: will update phpunit.xml and run your tests with phpunit
hidev build: will do fix and test alltogether
hidev bump and hidev release will bump project version and publish release to GitHub

HiDev can generate different files: sources, tests, anything else based on templates and
all the information available in config files or elsewhere.

Now I’m working to enable HiDev to do more:

project bootstraping and deploy
integration with other build tools: robo, grunt, gulp, …
more for Python: pep8, tests, …

Configuration

The main config file is: hidev.yml.

You can generate basic config file with init command:

hidev init the-vendor/my-new-package

You will receive:

package:
    type:           project
    name:           my-new-package
    title:          My New Package
    keywords:       my, new, package

vendor:
    name:           the-vendor
    authors:
        hiqsol:
            name:       Andrii Vasyliev
            email:      [email protected]

Package section holds info about the package:

name: your package name, same as in package manager but without vendor name
title: single line description of your package (description in composer.json)
type, keywords: same as in package manager

Also you can add more info for better README generation:

headline: short user friendly name of your project, used for README header
description: longer description

Vendor section holds info about you or your company:

name: same as in package manager
title: full vendor name, will be used for README, LICENSE and so on
github, homepage, forum, email: obviously
license: will be used if package does not specify one
authors: array of authors, see: HiQDev’s config

Best way to configure vendor is to create and use your vendor plugin for HiDev.
It’s easy, just fork hiqdev/hidev-hiqdev, change it appropriately and publish
to Packagist.

For examples of HiDev configuration you can see our repos on GitHub,
all of them are automated with HiDev.
