Creating an PhpDevCommunity Michel Package

In Michel Framework, you can create packages, which are equivalent to bundles in Symfony. This allows you to organize and share reusable components across different projects. To create an PhpDevCommunity Michel package, you need to implement the PackageInterface and define your package's services, parameters, event listeners, routes, and commands.

You can install this library via Composer. Ensure your project meets the minimum PHP version requirement of 7.4.

composer require phpdevcommunity/michel-package-starter

Package Interface

Start by creating a package class that implements the PackageInterface. This interface defines the methods you need to implement for your package.

<?php

namespace PhpDevCommunity\Michel\Package;

interface PackageInterface
{
    public function getDefinitions(): array;

    public function getParameters(): array;

    public function getListeners(): array;

    public function getRoutes(): array;

    public function getCommands(): array;
}

Example Package

Here's an example of an PhpDevCommunity Michel package class (MyCustomPackage) that implements the PackageInterface. This package provides some default definitions, parameters, and commands. Note that this is just an example; you should create your own package based on your project's requirements.

final class MyCustomPackage implements PackageInterface
{
    public function getDefinitions(): array
    {
        // Implement your service definitions here
        return [];
    }

    public function getParameters(): array
    {
        // Define package-specific parameters here
        return [];
    }

    public function getListeners(): array
    {
        // Specify event listeners provided by your package
        return [];
    }

    public function getRoutes(): array
    {
        // Define package-specific routes here
        return [];
    }

    public function getCommands(): array
    {
        // List console commands provided by your package
        return [];
    }
}

Defining Your Package

Implementing getDefinitions

In the getDefinitions method, define the services your package provides. You can use the Dependency Injection Container to create and configure these services.

Implementing getParameters

The getParameters method allows you to define parameters specific to your package. These parameters can be customized in the project's configuration.

Implementing getListeners

If your package includes event listeners, define them in the getListeners method.

Implementing getRoutes

If your package provides routes, specify them in the getRoutes method.

Implementing getCommands

If your package includes console commands, list them in the getCommands method.

Activating Your Package

To activate your package in an PhpDevCommunity Michel project, you need to modify the packages.php file located in the /config directory. Add your package class to the list of packages along with the environment(s) where it should be active.

<?php

// /config/packages.php

return [
    MyCustomPackage::class => ['dev', 'prod'],
];

In this example, the MyCustomPackage is activated for both the 'dev' and 'prod' environments. You can adjust the list of environments as needed.

By following these steps, you can create and activate your PhpDevCommunity Michel packages to extend the functionality of your projects.
