README
Memio is a library, it allows you to describe PHP code by building "Model" classes
(e.g. new Method('__construct')) and then to generate it using a PrettyPrinter!
Note: The actual generation logic is held in Twig templates. If the coding style provided doesn't appeal to you, you can overwrite those templates easily.
Installation
Install using Composer:
composer require memio/memio:^1.0
Full example
We're going to generate a class with a constructor and two attributes:
<?php require __DIR__.'/vendor/autoload.php'; use Memio\Memio\Config\Build; use Memio\Model\File; use Memio\Model\Object; use Memio\Model\Property; use Memio\Model\Method; use Memio\Model\Argument; // Describe the code you want to generate using "Models" $file = File::make('src/Vendor/Project/MyService.php') ->setStructure( Object::make('Vendor\Project\MyService') ->addProperty(new Property('createdAt')) ->addProperty(new Property('filename')) ->addMethod( Method::make('__construct') ->addArgument(new Argument('DateTime', 'createdAt')) ->addArgument(new Argument('string', 'filename')) ) ) ; // Generate the code and display in the console $prettyPrinter = Build::prettyPrinter(); $generatedCode = $prettyPrinter->generateCode($file); echo $generatedCode; // Or display it in a browser // echo '<pre>'.htmlspecialchars($prettyPrinter->generateCode($file)).'</pre>';
With this simple example, we get the following output:
<?php namespace Vendor\Project; class MyService { private $createdAt; private $filename; public function __construct(DateTime $createdAt, $filename) { } }

Memio can be quite powerful, discover how by reading the docs:
You can see the current and past versions using one of the following:
- the
git tagcommand - the releases page on Github
- the file listing the changes between versions
And finally some meta documentation:
Roadmap
- commands (e.g. add use statement, add PHPdoc, injecting dependency, etc)
- parsing existing code (using nikic's PHP-Parser)
