As the name of this repository might suggest, stats currently only works for Laravel applications.

Over the years I've received multiple questions, if stats could be made framework agnostics so it could be used in other frameworks too (for example Symfony applications).
With the work done in the release of 2.0 such a step should be easier now. The package basically consists of the following parts:

• A Class Collector: Loops through folders in a path and finds all PHP classes
• Value Objects to describe a Project: A Project-instance takes a collection of Classes and Classifies them.
• A collection of Classifiers: These simple classes take a given class in a Laravel project and try to associate them with a "Component"
• Laravel specific classes: Artisan Command, ServiceProvider, etc.

My idea to make stats framework agnostic, is to move the Class Collector and the Value Objects into a separate package. This package (laravel-stats) would require this new package as a dependency and would pass its list of Laravel specific Classifiers to the newly created "core"-package.
It would then be trivial to create separate packages for other frameworks like Symfony or Zend: Define your own list of Classifiers which describe components in each framework and pass them to the "core"-package.

To make this actually work, the Class Collector and Value Obejcts would have to be rewritten though. They currently rely heavily on Laravels Collections.
The new "core"-package probably shouldn't have illuminate/support as a dependency and these mentioned classes should then rather use plain older PHP arrays.
