UpToDocs
UpToDocs scans a Markdown file for PHP code blocks, and executes each one in a separate process.
Include this in your CI workflows, to make sure your documentation is always up to date with your code.
Usage
composer require --dev mathiasverraes/uptodocs
CLI:
vendor/bin/uptodocs run [options] [--] <markdownFile>
Arguments:
markdownFile Markdown file to run.
Options:
-b, --before=BEFORE A PHP file to run before each code block.
Useful for imports and other setup code.
-a, --after=AFTER A PHP file to run after each code block.
Useful for cleanup, and for running assertions.
In your code:
<?php
$upToDocs = new Verraes\UpToDocs\UpToDocs();
$result = $upToDocs->run("README.md"); // bool
Example
You can try it on the Markdown file in the sample directory:
./uptodocs run sample/docs.md --before sample/before.php
Output:
The following code block in /Users/mathias/workspace/php/uptodocs/sample/docs.md:16 failed.
<?php
$v = multiplyy(10,2);
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function multiplyy() in Standard input code:11
Stack trace:
