pho-kernel

A simple microkernel implementation with Twitter-like functionality by default. You may change the functionality simply by copy/pasting a new recipe from the presets directory. Check out "Working with Custom Recipes" below the README file for more information., _(*2)

Requirements

The default pho-kernel requires:, _(*3)

You may also test pho-kernel by using Vagrant. Check out "Testing" for more information., _(*4)

Pho-Kernel used to depend on Neo4j Server 3.1+ for indexing. It no longer does as of version 3.0. But you may still use it if you prefer more advanced Cypher queries., _(*5)

If you will use Neo4J for indexing, make sure you change your .env file to include INDEX_TYPE="neo4j" instead of INDEX_TYPE ="redis", _(*6)

Testing

Testing allows you to get a feel of pho-kernel without bloating your system with servers such as Redis and Neo4j. However, you would still need to have Vagrant installed., _(*7)

Once you have Vagrant, just type in the following in the directory where pho-kernel is installed:, _(*8)

vagrant up
vagrant ssh # this will open a new session, continue from there.
cd /opt/pho-kernel
yes | cp presets/basic ./composer.json
composer install # this may take a while to operate
php -a # this will also open a new session.
include("kernel.php");

Now you can play with the kernel. Check out "Getting Started" for more information., _(*9)

Install

The recommended way to install pho-kernel is through composer., _(*10)

Let's say, you want to install a kernel under a directory called test-dir. Here's what you type in the terminal:, _(*11)

composer create-project -s "dev" phonetworks/pho-kernel test-dir

This will install pho-kernel as well as its dependencies. Once installed, read/edit the bootstrapper script kernel.php. The sole purpose of the bootstrapper script is, _(*12)

to set up the servers (e.g. Neo4J, Redis, loggers etc) given environment envirables set in .env file.
provide you with the $kernel which you can use to interact with your graph, or embed in another environment (e.g. REST Server) for further functionality.

You will also need to set up a .env file to instruct the kernel about the services to use. A sample .env file is included as .env.example. Just copy/paste it as .env to get started with the basics., _(*13)

cp .env.example .env
# vi .env # if necessary

Getting Started

Make sure your .env file is functional; addressing your servers properly.
Run php -a on your terminal to switch to PHP shell. Then,

include("kernel.php"); // this will set it up.

echo $founder; // will dump the founder's ID.
echo $graph; // will dump the graph's ID.

$tweet = $founder->post("My first tweet"); // let's create a tweet.

$new_user = new \PhoNetworksAutogenerated\User($kernel, $graph, "my_password"); // let's create our first user object.
$new_user->like($tweet); // the user likes the one and only tweet in the graph.

// Now examine these:
var_dump($tweet->getLikers());
var_dump($tweet->getAuthors());
var_dump($new_user->getLikes());
var_dump($founder->getPosts());

Working with Custom Recipes

If you'd like the kernel to run on a custom recipe, you must:, _(*14)

Clone this repository. git clone https://github.com/phonetworks/pho-kernel
Change the composer.json file and replace pho-recipes/basic with your custom recipe repo.
Run composer install to finish up with dependencies.
Follow the steps described in the "Getting Started" section.

The presets directory comes with custom composer.json files that you can copy/paste on the existing one. This could enable you to run a Facebook or Twitter clone in a few simple steps., _(*15)

However, if your goal is to run a completely custom recipe, then first of all, you need to:, _(*16)

Form that recipe (possibly by cloning one of the existing ones in the https://github.com/pho-recipes repo).
Make your recipe a composer package by uploading it to https://packagist.org
Replace pho-recipes/basic with your custom recipe repo in composer.json
Run composer install to finish up with dependencies.
Follow the steps described in the "Getting Started" section.

The kernel.php file

If you are running pho-kernel on a custom set of compiled pgql files, make sure:, _(*17)

The default_objects variables in Kernel configs (as shown by $configs in kernel.php) have a proper set of "graph" and "user" classes set.
Before booting up the kernel, a custom founder object is initialized and passed as an argument to the boot method.
