Thorsten Buss 4d10db4f17 Initial public release
PHP 8.4 library and CLI tools to read, modify, and generate ProPresenter 7
files: songs (.pro), playlists (.proplaylist), bundles (.probundle), themes,
and the global library files (Macros, Labels, Groups, ClearGroups, CCLI,
Messages, Timers, Stage, Workspace, Props, TestPatterns, Calendar,
KeyMappings, CommunicationDevices).

Built on the MIT-licensed ProPresenter7-Proto schema by greyshirtguy
(v7.16.2). Includes 18 CLI parsers, comprehensive API docs in doc/,
binary-format specs, and a synthetic 369-test PHPUnit suite covering
RTF extraction, translation slides, ZIP64 repair, round-trip fidelity,
and end-to-end generation.

# Timers Library API
> PHP module for reading and writing the global ProPresenter `Timers` file
> (raw protobuf, no extension), including the top-level clock format.
## Quick Reference
```php
use ProPresenter\Parser\TimersFileReader;
$library = TimersFileReader::read('/path/to/Timers');
$library->getClockFormat(); // "HH:mm"
foreach ($library->getTimers() as $timer) {
$timer->getName();
$timer->isCountdown();
$timer->getDurationSeconds();
}
```
---
## File Layout
The `Timers` file is the protobuf-serialised
[`TimersDocument`](../../proto/timers.proto):
| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `application_info` | `ApplicationInfo` | ProPresenter metadata |
| `clock` | `Clock` | Global clock display settings |
| `timers` | repeated `Timer` | Timer definitions |
---
## Reading
```php
$library = TimersFileReader::read('/Users/me/.../Timers');
```
Throws `InvalidArgumentException` for missing files and `RuntimeException` for
empty / unreadable files.
---
## TimersLibrary
```php
$library->getTimers(); // Timer[]
$library->count(); // int
$library->getTimerByUuid($uuid); // ?Timer (case-insensitive)
$library->getTimerByName($name); // ?Timer
$library->addTimer($name, $uuid); // Timer
$library->removeTimer($uuid); // bool
$library->getClockFormat(); // string
$library->setClockFormat('HH:mm'); // void
$library->getApplicationInfo(); // ?\Rv\Data\ApplicationInfo
$library->getDocument(); // \Rv\Data\TimersDocument
```
---
## Timer
```php
$timer->getUuid();
$timer->setUuid($uuid);
$timer->getName();
$timer->setName($name);
$timer->getConfiguration(); // ?\Rv\Data\Timer\Configuration
$timer->isCountdown();
$timer->isCountdownToTime();
$timer->isElapsedTime();
$timer->getDurationSeconds(); // ?int for countdown timers
$timer->getProto(); // \Rv\Data\Timer
```
---
## CLI Tool
```bash
php bin/parse-timers.php /path/to/Timers
```
---
## Key Files
| File | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `src/TimersLibrary.php` | Document wrapper with UUID / name indexes |
| `src/Timer.php` | Single timer wrapper |
| `src/TimersFileReader.php` | Reads the `Timers` file |
| `src/TimersFileWriter.php` | Writes the `Timers` file |
| `bin/parse-timers.php` | CLI summary tool |
| `generated/Rv/Data/TimersDocument.php` | Generated document class |
---
## Scope Notes
Timer configuration is exposed as the generated protobuf sub-message. Helper
methods cover the oneof timer type and countdown duration without hiding raw
access for callers that need advanced fields.
