Theme Bundle API

PHP module for reading, modifying, and writing folder-based ProPresenter themes.

Quick Reference

use ProPresenter\Parser\ThemeFileReader;
use ProPresenter\Parser\ThemeFileWriter;

$theme = ThemeFileReader::read('/path/to/theme-folder');

foreach ($theme->getSlides() as $slide) {
    $slide->getName();       // KeyVisual, Liedtext, ...
    $slide->getBaseSlide();  // ?\Rv\Data\Slide
}

foreach ($theme->getAssets() as $asset) {
    $asset->getName();
    $asset->getSize();
    $asset->getMimeType();
}

ThemeFileWriter::write($theme, '/path/to/output-folder');

Folder Layout

A theme is a directory, not a single protobuf file:

SampleTheme/
├── Theme          # Rv\Data\Template\Document protobuf
└── Assets/
    ├── BACKGROUND.jpg
    ├── BAUCHBIND_STREAM.jpg
    └── KEY_VISUAL.jpg

The Theme file is a Rv\Data\Template\Document from template.proto. Its slides are named theme layouts.


ThemeBundle

$theme->getDocument();
$theme->getSlides();
$theme->getSlideByName('KeyVisual');
$theme->addSlide($slide);
$theme->removeSlide('KeyVisual');
$theme->getAssets();
$theme->getAssetByName('BACKGROUND.jpg');
$theme->addAsset('NEW.jpg', $bytes);
$theme->removeAsset('NEW.jpg');
$theme->count();
$theme->getAssetCount();

ThemeSlide

$slide->getName();
$slide->setName('Liedtext');
$slide->getBaseSlide();
$slide->getProto();

ThemeAsset

$asset->getName();
$asset->getBytes();
$asset->getSize();
$asset->getMimeType(); // image/jpeg, image/png, ...

MIME type detection is extension-based and best-effort.


Writing Themes

ThemeFileWriter::write() creates the target folder if needed, writes the serialized Theme protobuf, creates Assets/, writes every ThemeAsset, and removes stale files from Assets/ that are not present in the bundle.


CLI Tool

php bin/parse-theme.php /path/to/theme-folder

The CLI prints slide names plus asset filenames, sizes, and MIME types.
