FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package fred
Fred
Welcome to Fred. Fred will execute tasks that you have described in a fred file.
Fred is not a grown up man at the moment. The steps used in this docs are not yet implemented. Do you help me teach him how to do developer tasks?
Why should I use Fred?
- You don't have to spent time installing NodeJS, NPM on your server just to run tasks;
- You can work with a syntax you're familiar with;
- Fred's codebase is very small (just 9 classes) and as flexible as task runners can be.
Installation
The best way to install Fred is using Composer:
If you set-up composer's global binary directory correctly, this will give you a new command:
fred
Usage
You start by creating a fred.php file (the fred file). In this file, you specify the
tasks. You do this by calling the task() method of the $fred variable that's available
in the file:
All tasks begin by opening a file or multiple files and passing a Traversable of these files
to load(). The best way to do this is by using the
Symfony Finder Component:
You've now opened a Fred step sequence for all files with a .js extension in /web/assets/raw.
Now you can assign as many steps to this sequence as you want:
At last, you have to output the generated code somewhere. This is done with the dist()
function:
Now, the generated code is dumped in the /web/assets/script.min.js file.
You can run this task by using fred build (where build is the name of the task).

Roadmap
Of course, all kind of changes are welcome (as long as it doesn't make the Fred more complex), but Fred should have learn the following things before reaching a stable version:
- Have more tests (that actually test the console app)
- Have a complete documentation
- Have more extensions and steps
