Zend Framework 2 Tool

This is a fork of the official ZFTool module: https://github.com/zendframework/ZFTool

Please refer to the Todo for any planned features.

ZFTool is an utility module for maintaining modular Zend Framework 2 applications. It runs from the command line and can be installed as ZF2 module or as PHAR (see below).

Features

• Install ZF2 library
• Listing of
  • Modules in an application
  • Controllers in a module
  • Actions in a controller
• Creation of
  • a new project (install the ZF2 skeleton application)
  • a new module
  • a new controller (optional add configuration and a factory)
  • a new action in a controller
  • a new view helper (optional add configuration and a factory)
  • basic routing for a module
• Generate classmap and change Module.php to use it
• Application diagnostics

Requirements

• Zend Framework 2.0.0 or later.
• PHP 5.3.3 or later.
• Console access to the application being maintained (shell, command prompt)

Installation using Composer

1. Open console (command prompt)
2. Go to your application's directory.
3. Run composer require zendframework/zftool:dev-master
4. Execute the vendor/bin/zf.php as reported below

Using the PHAR file (zftool.phar)

1. Download the zftool.phar from packages.zendframework.com
2. Execute the zftool.phar with one of the options reported below (zftool.phar replace the zf.php)

You can also generate the zftool.phar using the bin/create-phar command as reported below

Application configuration

List all configuration option

zf.php config list [<path>] [options]

[<path>]            (Optional) path to a ZF2 application
--local   | -l      Use local configuration file

Display a single config value

zf.php config get <config_name> [<path>] [options]

<config_name>       Configuration key, i.e. db.host
[<path>]            (Optional) path to a ZF2 application

<path>              Path where to install the ZF2 library
[<version>]         (Optional) Version to install, defaults to the last version available

Compile the PHAR file

You can create a .phar file containing the ZFTool project. In order to compile ZFTool in a .phar file you need to execute the following command:

bin/create-phar

This command will create a zftool.phar file in the bin folder. You can use and ship only this file to execute all the ZFTool functionalities. After the zftool.phar creation, we suggest to add the folder bin of ZFTool in your PATH environment. In this way you can execute the zftool.phar script wherever you are, for instance executing the command:

mv zftool.phar /usr/local/bin/zftool.phar

Note: If the above fails due to permissions, run the mv line again with sudo.
