Development Tools and Tests

Our test related files are located in tests folder. Tests are written using PHPUnit.

To install (and update) development tools like PHPUnit or PHP-CS-Fixer run:

make install-dev-tools Development tools are getting installed in dev-tools/vendor. Please check dev-tools/composer.json for more information about versions etc. To run a tool manually you use dev-tools/vendor/bin, for instance:

dev-tools/vendor/bin/php-cs-fixer fix --verbose --dry-run Below are a few shortcuts to improve your developer experience.

PHPUnit

To run all tests run:

make run-phpunit

PHP-CS-Fixer

To check coding styles run:

make run-php-cs-fixer

PHPStan

To run a static code analysis use:

make run-phpstan

Base64 encoded PDFs

If working with Base64 encoded PDFs you might want to parse the PDF without saving the file on disk. This sample will parse the Base64 encoded PDF and extract text from each page.

<?php
// Include Composer autoloader if not already done.
include "vendor/autoload.php";
// Parse Base64 encoded PDF string and build necessary objects.
$parser = new \Smalot\PdfParser\Parser();
$pdf = $parser->parseContent(base64_decode($base64PDF));
$text = $pdf->getText();
echo $text;
