Period Visualizer

This package contains a visualizer for League Period.

It is inspired from the work of @thecrypticace on the following PR Visualization Helper.

<?php

use Bakame\Period\Visualizer\Dataset;
use Bakame\Period\Visualizer\GanttChart;
use League\Period\Datepoint;
use League\Period\Period;
use League\Period\Sequence;

$sequence = new Sequence(
    Datepoint::create('2018-11-29')->getYear(Period::EXCLUDE_START_INCLUDE_END),
    Datepoint::create('2018-05-29')->getMonth()->expand('3 MONTH'),
    Datepoint::create('2017-01-13')->getQuarter(Period::EXCLUDE_ALL),
    Period::around('2016-06-01', '3 MONTHS', Period::INCLUDE_ALL)
);
$dataset = Dataset::fromSequence($sequence);
$dataset->append('gaps', $sequence->gaps());
(new GanttChart())->stroke($dataset);

results:

 A                                          (--------------------]
 B                                            [-----------)       
 C                     (----)                                     
 D    [---------]                                                 
 gaps           (------]    [---------------]  

System Requirements

You need:

• PHP >= 7.2 but the latest stable version of PHP is recommended
• League/Period 4.4+ but the latest stable version is recommended

Installation

Usage

Basic Usage

Generate a simple graph.

To generate a graph you need to give to the Dataset constructor a list of pairs. Each pair is an array containing 2 values:

• the value at key 0 represents the label
• the value at key 1 is a League\Period\Period or a League\Period\Sequence object

<?php

use Bakame\Period\Visualizer\Dataset;
use Bakame\Period\Visualizer\GanttChart;
use League\Period\Period;

$dataset = new Dataset([
    ['A', new Period('2018-01-01', '2018-02-01')],
    ['B', new Period('2018-01-15', '2018-02-01')], 
]);
(new GanttChart())->stroke($dataset);

results:

 A [----------------------------------------------)
 B                      [-------------------------)

Appending items to display

If you want to display a Sequence and some of its operations. You can append the operation results using the Dataset::append method.

<?php

use Bakame\Period\Visualizer\Dataset;
use Bakame\Period\Visualizer\GanttChart;
use League\Period\Period;
use League\Period\Sequence;

$sequence = new Sequence(
    new Period('2018-01-01', '2018-03-01'),
    new Period('2018-05-01', '2018-08-01')
);
$dataset = new Dataset();
$dataset->append('A', $sequence[0]);
$dataset->append('B', $sequence[1]);
$dataset->append('GAPS', $sequence->gaps());
(new GanttChart())->stroke($dataset);

results:

 A    [-------------)                                                         
 B                               [----------------)
 GAPS               [------------)    

The Dataset implements the Countable and the IteratorAggregate interface. It also exposes the following methods:

<?php
public function Dataset::fromSequence(Sequence $sequence, ?LabelGenerator $labelGenerator = null): self; //Creates a new Dataset from a Sequence and a LabelGenerator.
public function Dataset::fromCollection(iterable $collection): self; //Creates a new Dataset from a generic iterable structure.
public function Dataset::appendAll(iterable $pairs): void; //adds multiple pairs at once.
public function Dataset::isEmpty(): bool; //Tells whether the collection is empty.
public function Dataset::labels(): string[]; //the current labels used
public function Dataset::items(): Sequence[]; //the current objects inside the Dataset
public function Dataset::boundaries(): ?Period;  //Returns the collection boundaries or null if it is empty.
public function Dataset::labelMaxLength(): int;  //Returns the label max length.
public function Dataset::withLabels(LabelGenerator $labelGenerator): self; //Update the labels used for the dataset.

Setting the Dataset labels

By default you are required to provide a label per item added present in a Dataset object. The package provides a LabelGenerator interface that ease generating and creating labels for your visualization.

A LabelGenerator implementing class is needed for the following methods

• The Dataset::fromSequence, to create a new instance from a Sequence object;
• The Dataset::withLabels to update the associated labels in the current instance;

By default when using Dataset::fromSequence if no LabelGenerator class is supplied the LatinLetter label generator will be used.

The current package comes bundle with the following LabelGenerator implementing class:

LatinLetter

Generates labels according the the latin alphabet.

<?php

use Bakame\Period\Visualizer\Dataset;
use Bakame\Period\Visualizer\GanttChart;
use Bakame\Period\Visualizer\LatinLetter;
use League\Period\Period;
use League\Period\Sequence;

$dataset = Dataset::fromSequence(
    new Sequence(new Period('2018-01-01', '2018-02-01'), new Period('2018-01-15', '2018-02-01')),
    new LatinLetter('aa')
);
(new GanttChart())->stroke($dataset);

results:

 aa [-----------------------------------)
 ab [----------)

The LatinLetter also exposes the following methods:

<?php

public function LatinLetter::startingAt(): string; //returns the first letter to be used
public function LatinLetter::startsWith(): self;  //returns a new object with a new starting letter

DecimalNumber

Generates labels according to the decimal number system.

<?php

use Bakame\Period\Visualizer\Dataset;
use Bakame\Period\Visualizer\DecimalNumber;
use Bakame\Period\Visualizer\GanttChart;
use League\Period\Period;
use League\Period\Sequence;

$dataset = Dataset::fromSequence(
    new Sequence(new Period('2018-01-01', '2018-02-01'), new Period('2018-01-15', '2018-02-01')),
    new DecimalNumber(42)
);
(new GanttChart())->stroke($dataset);

results:

 42 [-----------------------------------)
 43 [----------)

The DecimalNumber also exposes the following methods:

<?php

public function DecimalNumber::startingAt(): string; //returns the first decimal number to be used
public function DecimalNumber::startsWith(): self;  //returns a new object with a new starting decimal number

RomanNumber

Uses the DecimalNumber label generator class to generate Roman number labels.

<?php

use Bakame\Period\Visualizer\Dataset;
use Bakame\Period\Visualizer\DecimalNumber;
use Bakame\Period\Visualizer\GanttChart;
use Bakame\Period\Visualizer\RomanNumber;
use League\Period\Period;
use League\Period\Sequence;

$labelGenerator = new RomanNumber(new DecimalNumber(5), RomanNumber::LOWER);

$dataset = Dataset::fromSequence(
    new Sequence(new Period('2018-01-01', '2018-02-01'), new Period('2018-01-15', '2018-02-01')),
    $labelGenerator
);
(new GanttChart())->stroke($dataset);

results:

 v  [-----------------------------------)
 vi [----------)

The RomanNumber also exposes the following methods:

<?php
const RomanNumber::UPPER = 1;
const RomanNumber::LOWER = 2;
public function RomanNumber::startingAt(): string; //returns the first decimal number to be used
public function RomanNumber::startsWith(): self;  //returns a new object with a new starting decimal number
public function RomanNumber::withLetterCase(int $lettercase): self;  //returns a new object with a new letter casing
public function RomanNumber::isUpper(): bool;  //Tells whether the roman letter is upper cased.
public function RomanNumber::isLower(): bool;  //Tells whether the roman letter is lower cased.

AffixLabel

Uses any labelGenerator implementing class to add prefix and/or suffix string to the generated labels.

<?php

use Bakame\Period\Visualizer\AffixLabel;
use Bakame\Period\Visualizer\Dataset;
use Bakame\Period\Visualizer\DecimalNumber;
use Bakame\Period\Visualizer\GanttChart;
use Bakame\Period\Visualizer\RomanNumber;
use League\Period\Period;
use League\Period\Sequence;

$labelGenerator = new AffixLabel(
    new RomanNumber(new DecimalNumber(5), RomanNumber::LOWER),
    '*', //prefix
    '.)'    //suffix
);
$dataset = Dataset::fromSequence(
    new Sequence(new Period('2018-01-01', '2018-02-01'), new Period('2018-01-15', '2018-02-01')),
    $labelGenerator
);
(new GanttChart())->stroke($dataset);

results:

 * v .)  [-----------------------------------)
 * vi .) [----------)

The AffixLabel also exposes the following methods:

<?php

public function AffixLabel::prefix(): string; //returns the current prefix
public function AffixLabel::suffix(): string;  //returns the current suffix
public function AffixLabel::withPrefix(string $prefix): self;  //returns a new object with a new prefix
public function AffixLabel::withSuffix(string $suffix): self;  //returns a new object with a new suffix

ReverseLabel

Uses any labelGenerator implementing class to reverse the generated labels order.

<?php

use Bakame\Period\Visualizer\AffixLabel;
use Bakame\Period\Visualizer\Dataset;
use Bakame\Period\Visualizer\DecimalNumber;
use Bakame\Period\Visualizer\GanttChart;
use Bakame\Period\Visualizer\ReverseLabel;
use Bakame\Period\Visualizer\RomanNumber;
use League\Period\Period;
use League\Period\Sequence;

$labelGenerator = new DecimalNumber(5);
$labelGenerator = new RomanNumber($labelGenerator, RomanNumber::LOWER);
$labelGenerator = new AffixLabel($labelGenerator, '', '.');
$labelGenerator = new ReverseLabel($labelGenerator);

$dataset = Dataset::fromSequence(
    new Sequence(new Period('2018-01-01', '2018-02-01'), new Period('2018-01-15', '2018-02-01')),
    $labelGenerator
);
(new GanttChart())->stroke($dataset);

results:

 vi. [-----------------------------------)
 v.  [----------)

Custom LabelGenerator

You can create your own label generator by implementing the Bakame\Period\Visualizer\LabelGenerator interface like shown below:

<?php

use Bakame\Period\Visualizer\AffixLabel;
use Bakame\Period\Visualizer\Dataset;
use Bakame\Period\Visualizer\GanttChart;
use Bakame\Period\Visualizer\LabelGenerator;
use League\Period\Period;
use League\Period\Sequence;

$samelabel = new class implements LabelGenerator {
    public function generate(int $nbLabels): array
    {
        return array_fill(0, $nbLabels, $this->format('foobar'));
    }

    public function format($str): string
    {
        return (string) $str;
    }
};

$labelGenerator = new AffixLabel($samelabel, '', '.');
$dataset = Dataset::fromSequence(
    new Sequence(new Period('2018-01-01', '2018-02-01'), new Period('2018-01-15', '2018-02-01')),
    $labelGenerator
);
(new GanttChart())->stroke($dataset);

results:

 foobar. [-----------------------------------)
 foobar. [----------)

Displaying the Dataset

The GanttChart class is responsible for generating the graph from the Dataset by implementing the Graph interface for the console.

The GanttChart::stroke methods expects a Dataset object as its unique argument.

If you wish to present the graph on another medium like a web browser or an image, you will need to implement the interface for your implementation.

<?php

use Bakame\Period\Visualizer\Dataset;
use Bakame\Period\Visualizer\GanttChart;
use League\Period\Period;

$graph = new GanttChart();
$graph->stroke(new Dataset([
    ['first', new Period('2018-01-01 08:00:00', '2018-01-01 12:00:00')],
    ['last', new Period('2018-01-01 10:00:00', '2018-01-01 14:00:00')],
]));

results:

 first [---------------------------)
 last            [------------------------------)

Customized the graph looks

The GanttChart class can be customized by providing a GanttChartConfig which defines:

• the output medium via a OutputWriter implementing class.
• the graph settings. (How the intervals will be stroked)
  • sets the graph width
  • sets the graph colors
  • sets the gap between the labels and the rows
  • sets the label alignment
• the output settings (How the intervals will be created)
  • sets single characters to represent the boundary types
  • sets single characters to represent the body and space

You can easily create a OutputWriter implementing class with libraries like League CLImate or Symfony Console to output the resulting graph. If you don't, the package ships with a minimal ConsoleOutput class which is used if you do not provide you own implementation.

<?php

use Bakame\Period\Visualizer\AffixLabel;
use Bakame\Period\Visualizer\ConsoleOutput;
use Bakame\Period\Visualizer\Dataset;
use Bakame\Period\Visualizer\DecimalNumber;
use Bakame\Period\Visualizer\GanttChart;
use Bakame\Period\Visualizer\GanttChartConfig;
use Bakame\Period\Visualizer\ReverseLabel;
use Bakame\Period\Visualizer\RomanNumber;
use League\Period\Datepoint;
use League\Period\Period;
use League\Period\Sequence;

$config = GanttChartConfig::createFromRainbow()
    ->withOutput(new ConsoleOutput(STDOUT))
    ->withStartExcluded('🍕')
    ->withStartIncluded('🍅')
    ->withEndExcluded('🎾')
    ->withEndIncluded('🍔')
    ->withWidth(30)
    ->withSpace('💩')
    ->withBody('😊')
    ->withGapSize(2)
    ->withLeftMarginSize(1)
    ->withLabelAlign(GanttChartConfig::ALIGN_RIGHT)
;

$labelGenerator = new DecimalNumber(42);
$labelGenerator = new RomanNumber($labelGenerator, RomanNumber::UPPER);
$labelGenerator = new AffixLabel($labelGenerator, '', '.');
$labelGenerator = new ReverseLabel($labelGenerator);

$sequence = new Sequence(
    Datepoint::create('2018-11-29')->getYear(Period::EXCLUDE_START_INCLUDE_END),
    Datepoint::create('2018-05-29')->getMonth()->expand('3 MONTH'),
    Datepoint::create('2017-01-13')->getQuarter(Period::EXCLUDE_ALL),
    Period::around('2016-06-01', '3 MONTHS', Period::INCLUDE_ALL)
);
$dataset = Dataset::fromSequence($sequence, $labelGenerator);
$dataset->append($labelGenerator->format('gaps'), $sequence->gaps());
$graph = new GanttChart($config);
$graph->stroke($dataset);

result:

   XLV.  💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩🍕😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊🍔
  XLIV.  💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩🍅😊😊😊😊😊🎾💩💩💩

  GAPS.  💩💩💩💩💩🍕😊😊🍔💩💩🍅😊😊😊😊😊😊😊🍔💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩

On a POSIX compliant console all lines have different colors

The GanttChartConfig class exposes the following additional constants and methods:

<?php
const GanttChartConfig::ALIGN_LEFT = 1;
const GanttChartConfig::ALIGN_RIGHT = 0;
const GanttChartConfig::ALIGN_CENTER = 2;
public function GanttChartConfig::__construct(OutputWriter $output);
public function GanttChartConfig::output(): OutputWriter;  //Returns the OutputWriter instance.
public function GanttChartConfig::startExcluded(): string; //Retrieves the excluded start block character.
public function GanttChartConfig::startIncluded(): string; //Retrieves the included start block character.
public function GanttChartConfig::endExcluded(): string;   //Retrieves the excluded end block character.
public function GanttChartConfig::endIncluded(): string;   //Retrieves the included end block character.
public function GanttChartConfig::width(): int;            //Retrieves the max size width.
public function GanttChartConfig::body(): string;          //Retrieves the body block character.
public function GanttChartConfig::space(): string;         //Retrieves the space block character.
public function GanttChartConfig::colors(): string[];      //The selected colors for each row.
public function GanttChartConfig::gapSize(): int;          //Retrieves the gap sequence between the label and the line.
public function GanttChartConfig::labelAlign(): int;       //Returns how label should be aligned.
public function GanttChartConfig::leftMarginSize(): int;   //Retrieves the margin between the label and the console left side.

GanttChartConfig is immutable, modifying its properties returns a new instance with the updated values.
