Garden Hot PHP

Question

How do we use Garden's live code syncing to see PHP code changes to running in cluster?

• Web App Example
• CLI Example

Why

So developers working on php-based services can use code syncing to see their changes running and test as they code.

Requires

• Minikube or other local-kubernetes

Web App Example

It should

• Run a php base web service
• Load a php component passed by way of a command line argument

How

Create a php script that sets passed argments as environment varbiables, starts the dev server running the service.

Steps

• create dev.php script
• use dev.php in devMode command

Running Example

Test Plan

• Clone repo
• From repo root garden dev
• Open ingress for hotphp service in browser
• Edit app/component.php with small change
• Refresh browser

Expected Result

Change made to component is visible when browser refreshed

CLI Example

It should

• Run a php base cli
• Output command line arguments

How

Create a php cli script that displaces arguments passed from the command line, and a garden custom command to execute it in cluster with garden exec.

Steps

• create cli.php
• create garden custom command to run it with garden exec

Running Example

Test Plan

• Clone repo
• From repo root garden dev
• From repo root garden cli
• Edit app/cli.php with small change
• Run garden cli again

Expected Result

Change made to cli.php output is visible when cli command run again
