Update from 1.x to 2.x

This is the version 2.x of the creator, so now, you can't transform your classes and you can't use the old notation class like this : MyClass.class.php.

Please transform your classes with the standard notation : MyClass.php before updating the creator.

Create a class

You can create a class by using this command (replace Name/Space and MyClass by your datas) :

$ php app/console.php create class Name/Space MyClass

Create a test class

To create a test class for a class using PHPUnit, it's a similar syntax :

$ php app/console.php create test Name/Space MyClass

Note : If the original class don't exist, the test class can't be created.

Use a class

Copy the index.php example file to your web directory

$ mkdir web && cp examples/index.php web/.

After that, you want use your classes, so go to the web/index.php file and use or precise the namespace in the Your Main Code section :

$ vim web/index.php

	/**
	* Your Main Code
	*/
	use \Name\Space\MyClass;
	$myClass = new MyClass();

Then, when executing web/index.php, it returns :

$ php web/index.php
Hello MyClass !
