Vhost Manager now includes support for creating nginx server blocks

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);
}

All create commands implement this contract and define their own methods. It sounds really simple, but it's a lot going on behind.
