Props Library API

PHP module for reading, modifying, and writing the global ProPresenter Props file.

Quick Reference

use ProPresenter\Parser\PropsFileReader;
use ProPresenter\Parser\PropsFileWriter;

$library = PropsFileReader::read('/path/to/Props');

foreach ($library->getProps() as $prop) {
    $prop->getName();
    $prop->getUuid();
    $prop->isEnabled();
}

PropsFileWriter::write($library, '/path/to/Props');

File Layout

The Props file is Rv\Data\PropDocument from propDocument.proto. Each prop is stored as a Rv\Data\Cue in the document's cues field.


PropLibrary

$library->getDocument();
$library->getProps();
$library->getPropByUuid('1FB2...'); // case-insensitive
$library->getPropByName('Props #1');
$library->addProp($prop);
$library->removeProp($uuid);
$library->count();
$library->getApplicationInfo();

Prop

$prop->getName();
$prop->setName('Lower Third');
$prop->getUuid();
$prop->setUuid('...');
$prop->isEnabled();
$prop->setEnabled(true);
$prop->getCompletionTime();
$prop->getActions();
$prop->getProto();

Use getProto() for full Cue/action access.
