connect-php
PHP middleware for https://github.com/senchalabs/connect
Disclaimer
This plugin is a very early stage, and was primarily designed to provide a better PHP integration with grunt-contrib-connect
. So for now, it was only tested with Grunt on a rather basic test set.
Its main goal is to parse and execute .php
files whenever a request to such a file is made.
Getting Started
Install the module with: npm install connect-php
Grunt
Using it withgrunt-contrib-connect
at the moment is very tight in it's execution and has no way to easily add another middleware to its execution stack as it was possible with grunt-connect
. However, it is still possible to override the usually used middleware
function. So, to just execute .php
files we can easily set it up like this:
module { // show elapsed time at the end grunt; // load all grunt tasks grunt; //Add this to the beginning of your Gruntfile.js var phpMiddleware = ; grunt;};
To sneak in our middleware into grunt-contrib-connect
's original middleware stack, we have to recreate a good chunk of their implementation. Add this to the middleware part described above:
... { var middlewares = ; var directory = optionsdirectory || optionsbaseoptionsbaselength - 1; if !Array optionsbase = optionsbase; // Magic happens here middlewares; optionsbase; // Make directory browse-able. middlewares; return middlewares;}...

In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code using Grunt.
