glayzzle

library0.3.0jsnpmunverified

Glayzzle is a PHP-to-JavaScript transpiler and CLI that allows running PHP scripts using Node.js or in the browser. As of version 0.3.0 (released circa 2016), it is a proof-of-concept with limited functionality: basic PHP syntax transpilation, file execution via CLI, and a simple server mode using Node.js cluster. It does not support many PHP features like PDO, dynamic variable names, or full function libraries. The project appears to be pre-alpha and is not suitable for production use. Differentiators: transpiles PHP to JS using generators/promises for async I/O, targets Node.js ecosystem.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

glayzzle

✓ const glayzzle = require('glayzzle')

✗ import glayzzle from 'glayzzle'

Package is CommonJS only; no ES module or TypeScript types available. Use require().

cli

✓ npx glz -r 'echo "hello";'

✗ glz -r "echo 'hello';"

CLI binary 'glz' is the primary interface. Use -r for inline code, -f for files.

Glayzzle API

✓ const Glayzzle = require('glayzzle').Glayzzle; const g = new Glayzzle()

✗ const g = new Glayzzle()

Constructor is exported as property of module, not default export. Check version 0.3.0 exports.

Shows how to use Glayzzle programmatically to transpile and execute a simple PHP echo statement in Node.js.

const glayzzle = require('glayzzle'); const glz = new glayzzle.Glayzzle(); // Transpile a simple PHP snippet glz.eval('echo "Hello from PHP!";').then(output => { console.log(output); }).catch(err => { console.error(err); });

Debug

Known issues

gotchaPackage is proof-of-concept; most PHP features not supported (PDO, mysql, dynamic variables).

fix

Do not use for production. Check feature list before using.

affects: <=0.3.0

deprecatedLast version 0.3.0 from 2016; no updates or maintenance.

fix

Look for alternatives like phpto.js or use php-wasm in browser.

affects: *

breakingCLI may not work on Windows due to unix-style paths and dependencies.

fix

Use WSL or Docker on Windows.

affects: *

gotchaAsynchronous transpilation uses promises; synchronous PHP code blocks Node event loop.

fix

Use promises and avoid blocking I/O patterns.

affects: *

breakingNo PHP library support; built-in functions like array_merge are not implemented.

fix

Rewrite PHP logic in JavaScript or use polyfills.

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Cannot find module 'php-parser'

Missing dependency php-parser not installed automatically.

fix

npm install php-parser

TypeError: glayzzle.Glayzzle is not a constructor

Incorrect import pattern; used default import instead of named import.

fix

const { Glayzzle } = require('glayzzle')

Error: PHP syntax error: unexpected token

Glayzzle does not support full PHP syntax, e.g., short array syntax [], closures, etc.

fix

Simplify PHP code or use alternative transpiler.

bash: glz: command not found

glz is not in PATH or not installed globally.

fix

Run npx glz instead of glz, or install globally with npm install -g glayzzle
