Tools
=====
GNU social provides some tools to aid developers. Most of the more
common ones can be accessed with the `make` command, for the
corresponding `Makefile`. These tools range from giving you acess to a
shell in the PHP docker container, a repl in the application
environment, a PostgreSQL shell, running PHPStan, among others.
Pre Commit Hooks
================
A `git` `pre-commit` hook is provided, which gets installed when
`composer install` is run. This hook is responsible for running
multiple things that aid in maintaing code quality.
Specifically, we have setup:
- PHP Code Style fixer
- PHP Documenation Checker
- PHPStan
These can be disabled for a given commit by prepending the command
with one of `SKIP_CS_FIX`, `SKIP_DOC_CHECK`, `SKIP_PHPSTAN` or
`SKIP_ALL`, to disable the corresponding step.
### Example
SKIP_PHPSTAN=1 git commit
These should be used sparingly, but they're primarily useful for work
in process commits and when rebasing.
Make
====
Check the `Makefile` for an up to date list of commands available, but
notable ones include:
- `php-shell` - A shell in the PHP docker container, where you can
run commands from the `bin` folder (see below) or `composer`
- `php-repl` - A REPL in the context of the application, allowing you
to run function for testing. Note that this requires explicitly
importing the needed classes with `use Class;` like in a regular file
- `psql-shell` - A PostgreSQL shell, if you need to edit the database
contents manually
- `database-force-schema-update` - If some entity changed, run this
to add/remove/update any missing fields
- `test` - Run PHPUnit tests
- `phpstan` - Run PHPStan
These can be run by using `make php-repl`, or the desired command
Bin
===
In addition, some useful scripts are provided in the `bin/` directory.
Typically, these should be run inside the Docker container. This can
be done by running `make php-shell`
Specifically:
- `bin/console` - The Symfony console
- `bin/generate_entity_fields` - Update autogenerated entity code.
Must be run after changing database definitions, i.e. when altering
the `schemaDef` static method in a class that extends `Entity`
Check the [Symfony Console
reference](https://symfony.com/doc/current/console.html) for details
on available commands.
In addition to those, we have added `app:events`, which lists the
application events and their handlers and can be invoked as
`bin/console app:event`
