How to organize workspace for MikoPBX extension developement.

Example of organizing a working directory

MikoPBX
├── Core
│   ├── ...
│   └── ...
├── Extensions
│   ├── ModuleBackup
│   └── ModuleYourModule
└── MikoPBXUtils
    └──node_modules

• Core - files from the repository mikopbx/Core

• Extensions - directory for storing module files

• ModuleBackup - files from the repository mikopbx/ModuleBackup

• ModuleYourModule - directory with files of your module

• MikoPBXUtils - directory with external tools

• node_modules - node-js modules

Environment

We widely use the composer to manage dependents libraries, NodeJS runtime for Javascript code processing.

# Install PHP 7.4
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt -y install php7.4
 
# Install composer
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer -o composer-setup.php
php composer-setup.php

Install babel files to be able to convert JS files

# Install Node package manager
sudo apt install build-essential checkinstall
sudo apt install libssl-dev
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.37.2/install.sh | bash
source /etc/profile
nvm ls-remote
nvm install v12.22.11
nvm list
nvm use v12.22.11
sudo ln -s "$(which node)" /usr/local/bin/node

# Create DIR for example MikoPBX/MikoPBXUtils, enter to it

In MikoPBXUtils dir create file babel.config.json:

babel.config.json

{
  "presets": [["airbnb", {
    "targets": {
      "chrome": 50,
      "ie": 11,
      "firefox": 45
    }
  }]]
}

In MikoPBXUtils dir create file package.json:

package.json

{
  "devDependencies": {
    "@babel/cli": "^7.14.3",
    "@babel/core": "^7.14.3",
    "@babel/polyfill": "^7.12.1",
    "@babel/preset-env": "^7.14.2",
    "babel-preset-airbnb": "^5.0.0",
    "eslint": "^7.27.0",
    "eslint-config-airbnb-base": "^14.2.1",
    "eslint-plugin-import": "^2.23.3"
  }
}

Install all from package.json file

npm install

At this point, I strongly recommend closing ALL your terminal tabs and windows. This will mean opening a new terminal to continue with the next step. This is strongly recommended because some really strange path issues can arise with existing terminals (trust me, I have seen it!).

Clone the Core MikoPBX repository

Use GIT command to make similar to picture folder sctructure with MikoPBX sources.

MikoPBX
├── Core <- Clone https://github.com/mikopbx/Core.git here
├── Extensions
└── MikoPBXUtils

Install third party PHP libraries to MikoPBX/Core folder

cd MikoPBX/Core
composer install --ignore-platform-reqs 

Create a new module structure

To create a new module for MikoPBX, you can use the ModuleTemplate repository as ready for use template.

Every MikoPBX module must have a unique identifier, i.e. you are developing a call back module with the identifier – ModuleYourModule

MikoPBX
├── Core 
├── Extensions
│   └── ModuleYourModule
└── MikoPBXUtils

Сopy the script create_module.sh to the Extensions dir and run it. It clones the ModuleTemplate repository and renames folders, files, namespaces and class names according to the new module unique id – ModuleYourModule.

cd MikoPBX/Extensions
sh create_module.sh ModuleMyNewMod

The name of the new module must begin with 'Module'

PHPStorm IDE

We advise using PHPStorm IDE because all MikoPBX code was written with this tool.

You have to download it by the next link and install it.

Create a new PHP empty Project from existing sources.

Setup the composer executable path according to this manual.

Setup the PHP interpreter path according to this manual.

PHPStorm: setup Babel

Babel is a toolchain that is mainly used to convert ECMAScript 2015+ code into a backwards compatible version of JavaScript in current and older browsers or environments.

Babel guarantees that the JS code will work the same in all web browsers.

The source JS files are located in directories:

• MikoPBX/Core/sites/admin-cabinet/assets/js/src

• MikoPBX/Extensions/*/public/assets/js/src

Files that the web interface uses are located in directories:

• MikoPBX/Core/sites/admin-cabinet/assets/js/pbx

• MikoPBX/Extensions/*/public/assets/js

With any modification of the source file, babel must create a final file.

1. Go to Preferences / Tools / File Watchers

2. Click to "Add" button

3. Choose template "Babel"

4. Set "Name" - Babel Core

5. Set "Program" $ProjectFileDir$/MikoPBXUtils/node_modules/.bin/babel

6. Set "Arguments" $FilePath$ --out-dir $FileParentDir$/../pbx/$FileDirName$ --source-maps inline --presets airbnb

7. Set "Output path to refresh": $FileParentDir$/../pbx/$FileDirName$/$FileprNameWithoutExtension$.js:$FileParentDir$/../pbx/$FileDirName$/$FileNameWithoutExtension$.js.map

8. Set "Auto-save edited files to trigger the watcher"

9. Set "Trigger the watcher on external changes"

10. Set "Working directory": $ProjectFileDir$/MikoPBXUtils

11. Setup "Scope"

12. Set "Name" - Project Core

13. Set "Pattern": file:Core/sites/admin-cabinet/assets/js/src/*.js

1. Go to Preferences / Tools / File Watchers

2. Click to "Add" button

3. Choose template "Babel"

4. Set "Name" - Babel Modules

6. Set "Arguments" $FilePath$ --out-dir $FileParentDir$ --source-maps inline --presets airbnb

7. Set "Output path to refresh": $FileParentDir$$FileNameWithoutExtension$.js:$FileParentDir$$FileNameWithoutExtension$.js.map

8. Set "Auto-save edited files to trigger the watcher"

9. Set "Trigger the watcher on external changes"

10. Set "Working directory": $ProjectFileDir$/MikoPBXUtils

11. Setup "Scope"

12. Set "Name" - Project Modules

13. Set "Pattern":file:Extensions/*/public/assets/js/src/*.js

PHPStorm: setup Phalcon Autocomplete
