Tools PHP

Mondrian

Ok guyz, you have a master degree in Graph Theory, you follow Law of Demeter
and you live on S.O.L.I.D principles ?
Let’s have some Fun ! (^ω^)

What

It is a set of CLI tools to help you to analyse and refactor highly coupled classes.
As you know Law of Demeter and S.O.L.I.D guidances, you need your classes loosely
coupled. And for this, there is one only rule : ABSTRACTION

This app provides some helpers to add abstraction into concrete classes
with minimum pain.

Getting started

Download the PHAR : mondrian.phar
Try to run a simple command with a few files (or a small part of a project)

$ mondrian.phar digraph /home/dev/project

This command produces a DOT file for GraphViz. Other formats are available :

  • html : interactive graph with the d3.js awesome library
  • svg : open standard for vector graphics (requires GraphViz)
  • json : format for d3.js for example

Example with html format 

$ php mondrian.php d --ignore=tests --ignore=vendor --format=html ./MyPhpProject/

Note: The generated html file does not require any dependencies nor a connection.

Ecosystem

Running unit tests with PHPUnit

$ phpunit.phar

Building the documentation with phpDocumentor

$ phpDocumentor.phar

Building mondrian.phar from the sources with box2

$ box.phar b

Examples

Default digraph on trismegiste/dokudoki

Which components are bottleneck ?

Reduced graph to LSP violations on trismegiste/prolog

How

Read the concept here
Read the online documentation here
And the API here (not up to date)

Extensible

You can easily add plugins to this tool to make your own algorithm, coloring scheme
or new generator. I try to make the API mostly decoupled, re-usable and with great
SRP and OCP concerns. Look into the “About” plugin to understand a basic stub of
plugin.

Third party

Packages used in this project :

  • nikic/php-parser for parsing PHP
  • symfony/console for creating CLI app with swag
  • alom/graphviz for rendering DOT files
  • symfony/finder for searching files through filesystem
  • symfony/config for managing yaml configuration without headache
  • D3.js for graph rendering in html
  • Phar builded with Box
