Installation

composer require decodelabs/overpass

Usage

Load a context to work from:

use DecodeLabs\Overpass\Context;

$context = new Context('path/to/project/');

Or use the Overpass Veneer frontage to work from cwd(). Overpass will search back up the file tree for the nearest package.json.

use DecodeLabs\Overpass;

echo Overpass::$runDir; // Working directory
echo Overpass::$rootDir; // Parent or current dir containing package.json
echo Overpass::$packageFile; // Location  of package.json

Overpass::run('myfile.js'); // node myfile.js
Overpass::runScript('my-script'); // npm run my-script

Overpass::install('package1', 'package2'); // npm install package1 package2
Overpass::installDev('package1', 'package2'); // npm install package1 package2 --save-dev

Bridging

Overpass offers a simple Bridge system to allow you to define custom javascript, pass arguments to it, and consume the result via node.

// myfile.js
module.exports = function(input) {
    return 'hello ' + input;
}

use DecodeLabs\Overpass;

$result = Overpass::bridge('myfile.js', 'world'); // 'hello world'
