Override/Update Variable/Array in php file - php

Question

In my recent project, working on console command where I need to perform/run various action mentioned in json based on the linux standard convention as
what:mv(Move),type:file,dir
what:mkdir(Make Directory)
what:touch(Make File)
what:cp(Copy), type:file,dir
what:echo (Write into File), type:override,append
what:sed (Find and Replace in file)
and param schema would be same almost exact to linux convention.
Current SetUp (Mkdir, touch)
Json Schema (Array)
"actions" => [
[
'what' => "mkdir",
'param' => [
'name' => "cache",
'in' => "bootstrap",
],
],
[
'what' => "touch",
'param' => [
'name' => ".gitignore",
'in' => "bootstrap/cache",
],
]
],
and its iterate through all action and resolve action class per what type (mkdir,touch) like MkdirOperation for mkdir and call handle functions respectively.
<?php
use Symfony\Component\Filesystem\Filesystem;
use Symfony\Component\Filesystem\Exception\IOExceptionInterface;
class MkdirOperation extends Operation
{
const ATTR_IN = "in";
const ATTR_NAME = "name";
public function handle()
{
$path = $this->_path();
$this->oIO->comment($path);
if ($this->oFileSystem->isAbsolutePath($path)) {
try {
$this->oFileSystem->mkdir($path);
} catch (IOExceptionInterface $e) {
echo "An error occurred while creating your directory at "
.$e->getPath();
}
$this->oIO->info("Directory created at:".$path);
}
}
private function _path()
{
return $this->oConfig->getBaseDir()
.$this->aParam[self::ATTR_IN].DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR
.$this->aParam[self::ATTR_NAME]
.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;
}
}
Requirement:
//somefile.php
$path = "/var/www/ins/"
//someotherfile.php
return [
'files' = [
'Path\\To\\NameSpace',
'Path\\To\\NameSpace'
]
];
So, basically I want to update/override my mentioned variable/array according to specific rules, for that purpose, I tried to prepare rules in json schema:
"actions": [
{
"what": "sed",
"in": "path/to/somefile.php",
"find": {
"type": "variable",
"value": "path"
},
"replace": {
"type": "variable",
"value": "__DIR__.'/../vendor/compiled.php';"
}
},{
"what": "put",
"value": "Path\\To\\NameSpace",
"in": "path/to/someotherfile.php",
"find": {
"type": "array",
"at": "files"
}
}
]
The Component I'm using
symfony/console
symfony/finder
Symfony/filesystem
Looking for:
Suggestion to organize rules set schema in such manner to iterate through all actions for update/override variable or push/pull element from array and perform action.
Mechanism to update the value of specific variable and also push/pull element from array/subarray using php.
If still something unclear from my side let me know.
Thanks in advance.
