not-php

0.3.15 • Public • Published

this is your php on node

Port your PHP code to Coffee-Script

Status

v0.3.14 stable and in use by [Exspresso] (https://github.com/darkoverlordofdata/exspresso)

Installation

$ npm install not-php

You also need to have php installed. Php2coffee is written in php to leverage the Zend lexer.

Quick Start

This will create the output file 'CodeIgniter.php.coffee'

$ php2coffee CodeIgniter.php

Next Steps

Use the not-php module as a drop in replacement for many php api functions.

class Driver

  eval "#{$name} = #{$body}" for $name, $body of require('not-php')

  ...
  someMethod: ->

    y = md5('bruce')

Tweak the resulting code. You will have to update arguments for node style async calls, where appropriate, so this:

  $profile = @where('forgotten_password_code', $code).users().row()# pass the code to profile

Becomes this:

  @where('forgotten_password_code', $code).users ($err, $users) =>

    if $err then return $next $err
    $profile = $users.row()# pass the code to profile

Known Issues

preg_match

Node does not fully support arguments by reference.

Example:

  if preg_match($pattern, $subject, $matches) ...

Use this pattern:

  if ($matches = preg_match($pattern, $subject))

arrays

Some nested literal object constructs are mis-tranlsated, and will need to be manually corrected.

Example:

  @data['identity'] = 'name':'identity',
    'id':'identity',
    'type':'text',
    'value':@form_validation.set_value('identity',
  )

Correction:

  @data['identity'] =
    'name':'identity',
    'id':'identity',
    'type':'text',
    'value':@form_validation.set_value('identity')

.eco templates

Eco syntax require a this (@) operator for helpers and variables

Example:

  <td><%- anchor("auth/edit_user/" + $user.id, 'Edit') %></td>

Correction:

  <td><%- @anchor("auth/edit_user/" + @user.id, 'Edit') %></td>

Note that the open coffee tag defaults to <%-, which matches the php default behaviour. Change to <%= as appropriate to escape output.

To Do

  • Complete the test suite
  • Complete Eco templates - address the this (@) operator issue.
    • prepend all external variables
    • prepend all external functions not in the compatability layer.
