#NPHP: NPM packaging for PHP scripts NPHP is a library, that build for npm, the node package manager, to be used for php scripts. If you are interseted in npm over composer for include/distribute packages, you can use nphp

Simple project with 1 npm php dependency

Step 1: Create an npm project

mkdir nphp-dependency
cd nphp-dependency
npm init

Step 2: Edit dependecy package

NPHP forces to developer mention in package.json this is a php package, by setting nphp: true in package.json. Also, You have to defined main field to a php file, mostly by default entrypoint.php

Step 3: Add entrypoint.php

Add a entrypoint.php file near package.json file, and place this content for sample:

function DepTestFunction() {
    echo "Dep test...";
}

Step 4: publish or put in git

Now you have a simple php node module, you can publish it to npm, if you want to use it in another package.

We have published nphp-dependecy in npm and also available in git:

git clone https://github.com/torabian/nphp-dependecy

#Including dependencies

After installing nphp, you need to include this script

include './node_modules/nphp/nphp.php';
use nphp\PackageJSON as pkgvendor;
pkgvendor::ImportDependecies();

DepTestFunction();

###Setting working directory In some cases, your include entrypoint is inaccessible, so there is an option to set the working directory. Moslty in WordPress cases

pkgvendor::CWD('./wp-content/themes/twentyfifthen/');
# Before calling Import Dependencies, we sat the cwd
# pkgvendor::ImportDependecies();
