Custom Extensions

Note

Check out the example extension here.

Writing custom extensions is quite easy, it is necessary to create a container extension and then register that extension in your configuration:

<?php

namespace Acme\PhpBench\Extension\Example;

use PhpBench\DependencyInjection\ExtensionInterface;
use PhpBench\DependencyInjection\Container;
use Acme\PhpBench\Extension\Example\Command\FooCommand;
use Acme\PhpBench\Extension\Example\Progress\FooLogger;

class ExampleExtension implements ExtensionInterface
{
    public function getDefaultConfig()
    {
        // default configuration for this extension
        return [
            'acme.example.message' => 'Hello World',
            'acme.progress.character' => 'x'
        ];
    }

    public function load(Container $container)
    {
        // register a command
        $container->register('acme.example.foo', function (Container $container) {
            return new FooCommand(
                $container->getParameter('acme.example.message')
            );
        }, ['console.command' => []]);

        // register a progress logger
        $container->register('acme.example.progress_logger', function (Container $container) {
            return new FooLogger($container->get('benchmark.time_unit'));
        }, ['progress_logger' => ['name' => 'foo']]);

    }

    // called after load() can be used to add tagged services to existing services.
    public function build(Container $container)
    {
    }
}

Note

The third argument of the register method, this is a list of tags. Tags tell PHPUnit what these services are and how to use them. Checkout the CoreExtension to investigate all of the available tags.

and activate the extension in your phpbench.json file:

{
    "extensions": [
        "Acme\\PhpBench\\Extension\\Example\\ExampleExtension"
    ]
}

PHPBench as a project dependency

If you are using PHPBench as a require-dev dependency of your project, and the extension is in your projects autoloader, then you are done, congratulations!

PHPBench as a PHAR

If you are using the PHAR version of PHPBench then you will need to tell PHPBench where it can find an autoloader for your extension (or extensions):

{
    "extension_autoloader": "/home/daniel/www/phpbench/phpbench-example-extension/vendor/autoload.php"
}

If you have multiple extensions you may consider creating an “extension project” e.g.

$ mkdir phpbench-extensions
$ cd phpbench-extensions
$ composer require vendor/my-phpbench-extension-1
$ composer require vendor/my-phpbench-extension-2

and then using the autoload.php of this project.
