Few months ago, i released a command line tool that allows developers create virtual hosts in seconds. I have few mails from developers who say the project is quite helpful. Unfortunately, the first release only included support for apache servers.

Today, i have released a new version that includes support for nginx servers.

New Features

Support for Creating Nginx Server Blocks

While creating your virtual hosts, you can now specify which server you are creating for with a simple --server=nginx switch. For example;

./vhost new:site --server=nginx.

If you do not specify the --server switch, apache will be used instead.

Every other thing works the same. It's really simple to use.

How did you implement it/them?
The most important thing to note is that, each command is implementing an interface that is sort of a contract for how the sites should be created.

<?php

namespace therealsmat\contracts;

interface SiteInterface {

    public function template($site_name, $domain_dir, $public_dir);
    public function createSite($site_name, $domain_dir, $public_dir);
    public function addToHosts($site);
}
