It's time to unite: Uniter-Node!

Require Uniter PHP in NodeJS.

It's absolutely simple, really! Here is a basic example:

var uniter = require("uniter-node");

// Register
uniter();

// Now, just require these like any other PHP file!
var exp = require("./myModule.php");

myModule.php

<?php
$exports->a_number = 20;
$exports->a_string = "Hello, world";
$exports->a_function = function() {
    return 42;
};

And that's it!

API

The Uniter-Node API is very simple and easy to use. Basically, once you require the module, it creates local-globals. That is, a runtime for your PHP code to run in, and an environment you can manage.

By default, STDIN is not used, STDOUT and STDERR are piped to process.stdin and process.stderr respectively.

• .getEnvironment(): Obtain an instance of a Uniter Environment.
• .getOptions(): Get current options.
• .setOptions(opt): Use this to set the options.
• .getParser(): Get the parser instance.

Calling the module itself, as shown in the example, will register the .php extension with require. If you want to support other extensions too, do it like so:

require.extensions[".phpt"] = require.extensions[".php"];

Note

This is a proof of concept. It DOES work, but I am still working on this. There is still some stuff to do, like enabling actual require() calls to work as they should. See the test/ folder to see a little demo.

To run the demo:

$ cd test
$ node run.js

You should see some action in your terminal now.
