Feature request: Custom Triggers

[mertasan]

I have a suggestion.

Feature to add custom menu items from Preferences to trigger some custom commands or scripts.

E.g:

• Preferences
  • Dynamic icon
  • Services
  • Global shortcut
  • Custom Triggers
    • Add New
      • Trigger Name: Project Foo - Composer Update
      • Select Type: [Command, Script]
        --- script ---
      • Script: [Select File]
        --- command ---
      • Command: [ "cd foo/project && php composer update" ]

[Toolbar]

• Preferences
• Custom Triggers
  • Project Foo - Composer Update
• About PHP Monitor
• Quit PHP Monitor

After reading this tweet, this idea came to my mind.

It's not the same thing. But it can be inspiring: https://codekitapp.com/help/hooks/

Hey @mertasan! I like this idea, and I will definitely consider adding it to the project. I'll need to carefully consider which triggers/hooks I'll allow/are available, though.

In v5.0, I already support a custom .phpmon.conf.json file (in your home folder) which you will be able to use to register custom applications.

Adding a new property for custom commands is definitely something that would be nice. I don't think I want to build an entire UI for adding these (at this point), but the JSON file could look something like this:

{
    "scan_apps": ["Custom IDE", "VSCodium"],
    "commands": [
        {
            "name": "Auto-update Foo dependencies",
            "on": "php_version_change",
            "command": "cd folder/foo && composer update"
        }
    ]
}

Hey @nicoverbruggen

I'm glad you like this idea!

I think the JSON idea is better. More convenient to backup and reuse. 👍
