🧠 What is it?

oihana/php-init is a small set of free functions that bootstrap a PHP application: load and merge a TOML/array configuration, build a PHP-DI container from definition files, and configure the PHP runtime (timezone, error reporting, memory limit, ini directives).

use DI\Container;

use function oihana\init\initConfig;
use function oihana\init\initContainer;
use function oihana\init\initDefinitions;

// 1. Load configuration (config.toml under the given base path)
$config = initConfig( __DIR__ . '/config' );

// 2. Build a DI container from all PHP definition files in a directory
$definitions = initDefinitions( __DIR__ . '/definitions' );
$container    = initContainer( $definitions );

🚀 Features

• ⚙️ Config loading & merging (TOML + PHP arrays) — initConfig().
• 📦 PHP-DI container building from definitions — initContainer(), initDefinitions().
• 🕐 PHP runtime setup — initDefaultTimezone(), initErrors(), initMemoryLimit(), setIniIfExists().
• 🧩 Plain free functions, autoloaded — no framework lock-in.
• 🧪 Full unit-test coverage ensuring reliability and maintainability.

💡 Designed to be lightweight, testable, and compatible with any PHP 8.4+ project.

📦 Installation

Requires PHP 8.4+

Install via Composer:

composer require oihana/php-init

✅ Tests & coverage

Run the full unit-test suite (PHPUnit, strict mode):

composer test

Run a single test case:

./vendor/bin/phpunit --filter InitContainerTest

Measure coverage (requires Xdebug or PCOV):

composer coverage        # text + Clover + HTML under build/coverage/
composer coverage:md     # readable Markdown summary (build/coverage/COVERAGE.md)

The suite runs in strict mode and targets 100% line coverage.
