+# PHP-CLI
+
+PHP-CLI is a simple library that helps with creating nice looking command line scripts.
+
+It takes care of
+
+- **option parsing**
+- **help page generation**
+- **automatic width adjustment**
+- **colored output**
+- **optional PSR3 compatibility**
+
+It is lightweight and has **no 3rd party dependencies**. Note: this is for non-interactive scripts only. It has no readline or similar support.
+
+[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/splitbrain/php-cli.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/splitbrain/php-cli)
+
+## Installation
+
+Use composer:
+
+```php composer.phar require splitbrain/php-cli```
+
+## Usage and Examples
+
+Minimal example:
+
+```php
+#!/usr/bin/php
+<?php
+require __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';
+use splitbrain\phpcli\CLI;
+use splitbrain\phpcli\Options;
+
+class Minimal extends CLI
+{
+ // register options and arguments
+ protected function setup(Options $options)
+ {
+ $options->setHelp('A very minimal example that does nothing but print a version');
+ $options->registerOption('version', 'print version', 'v');
+ }
+
+ // implement your code
+ protected function main(Options $options)
+ {
+ if ($options->getOpt('version')) {
+ $this->info('1.0.0');
+ } else {
+ echo $options->help();
+ }
+ }
+}
+// execute it
+$cli = new Minimal();
+$cli->run();
+```
+

+
+
+The basic usage is simple:
+
+- create a class and ``extend splitbrain\phpcli\CLI``
+- implement the ```setup($options)``` method and register options, arguments, commands and set help texts
+ - ``$options->setHelp()`` adds a general description
+ - ``$options->registerOption()`` adds an option
+ - ``$options->registerArgument()`` adds an argument
+ - ``$options->registerCommand()`` adds a sub command
+- implement the ```main($options)``` method and do your business logic there
+ - ``$options->getOpts`` lets you access set options
+ - ``$options->getArgs()`` returns the remaining arguments after removing the options
+ - ``$options->getCmd()`` returns the sub command the user used
+- instantiate your class and call ```run()``` on it
+
+More examples can be found in the examples directory. Please refer to the [API docs](https://splitbrain.github.io/php-cli/)
+for further info.
+
+## Exceptions
+
+By default the CLI class registers an exception handler and will print the exception's message to the end user and
+exit the programm with a non-zero exit code. You can disable this behaviour and catch all exceptions yourself by
+passing false to the constructor.
+
+You can use the provided ``splitbrain\phpcli\Exception`` to signal any problems within your main code yourself. The
+exceptions's code will be used as the exit code then.
+
+Stacktraces will be printed on log level `debug`.
+
+## Colored output
+
+Colored output is handled through the ``Colors`` class. It tries to detect if a color terminal is available and only
+then uses terminal colors. You can always suppress colored output by passing ``--no-colors`` to your scripts.
+Disabling colors will also disable the emoticon prefixes.
+
+Simple colored log messages can be printed by you using the convinence methods ``success()`` (green), ``info()`` (cyan),
+``error()`` (red) or ``fatal()`` (red). The latter will also exit the programm with a non-zero exit code.
+
+For more complex coloring you can access the color class through ``$this->colors`` in your script. The ``wrap()`` method
+is probably what you want to use.
+
+The table formatter allows coloring full columns. To use that mechanism pass an array of colors as third parameter to
+its ``format()`` method. Please note that you can not pass colored texts in the second parameters (text length calculation
+and wrapping will fail, breaking your texts).
+
+## Table Formatter
+
+The ``TableFormatter`` class allows you to align texts in multiple columns. It tries to figure out the available
+terminal width on its own. It can be overwritten by setting a ``COLUMNS`` environment variable.
+
+The formatter is used through the ``format()`` method which expects at least two arrays: The first defines the column
+widths, the second contains the texts to fill into the columns. Between each column a border is printed (a single space
+by default).
+
+See the ``example/table.php`` for sample usage.
+
+Columns width can be given in three forms:
+
+- fixed width in characters by providing an integer (eg. ``15``)
+- precentages by provifing an integer and a percent sign (eg. ``25%``)
+- a single fluid "rest" column marked with an asterisk (eg. ``*``)
+
+When mixing fixed and percentage widths, percentages refer to the remaining space after all fixed columns have been
+assigned.
+
+Space for borders is automatically calculated. It is recommended to always have some relative (percentage) or a fluid
+column to adjust for different terminal widths.
+
+The table formatter is used for the automatic help screen accessible when calling your script with ``-h`` or ``--help``.
+
+## PSR-3 Logging
+
+The CLI class is a fully PSR-3 compatible logger (printing colored log data to STDOUT and STDERR). This is useful when
+you call backend code from your CLI that expects a Logger instance to produce any sensible status output while running.
+
+To use this ability simply inherit from `splitbrain\phpcli\PSR3CLI` instead of `splitbrain\phpcli\CLI`, then pass `$this`
+as the logger instance. Be sure you have the suggested `psr/log` composer package installed.
+
+![Screenshot](screenshot2.png)
+
+You can adjust the verbosity of your CLI tool using the `--loglevel` parameter. Supported loglevels are the PSR-3
+loglevels and our own `success` level:
+
+* debug
+* info
+* notice
+* success
+* warning
+* error
+* critical
+* alert
+* emergency
+
+Convenience methods for all log levels are available. Placeholder interpolation as described in PSR-3 is available, too.
+Messages from `warning` level onwards are printed to `STDERR` all below are printed to `STDOUT`.
+
+The default log level of your script can be set by overwriting the `$logdefault` member.
+
+See `example/logging.php` for an example.
