FIT File Parser PHP Library

Note

This project is a work in progress (WIP) and is not ready for production use. Contributions, suggestions, and feedback are welcome as we work towards a stable release.

👋🏻 Introduction

Welcome to the FIT File Parser Library, a PHP-based library designed to parse FIT files. FIT (Flexible and Interoperable Data Transfer) files are commonly used in fitness devices to store workout data. This library is inspired by the Garmin SDK but is developed independently with the goal of providing an open-source alternative for the PHP community.
The FIT protocol documentation can be found here

🛠️ Features

FIT File Parsing: Read and parse FIT files into PHP data objects. Parsing the file will give you an array of FitParser\Records\RecordInterface objects, which contain an array of FitParser\Records\ValueInterface objects. Each RecordInterface contains an array of ValueInterface objects related to the record type.

Example: A FileId record can contain an array of Manufacturer, Number, Product, ProductName, SerialNumber, and TimeCreated ValueInterface objects. If a field is unknown, it will be represented by an UnknownValue object.

📚 Installation

To use the library, install it with this command:

composer require arnaud-deabreu/fit-php-parser

📝 Parse a FIT file

<?php

use FitParser\Parser;

$parser = new Parser(
    file_get_contents('path/to/fit/file.fit')
);
$parser->parse();

$records = $parser->getRecords(); // FitParser\Records\RecordInterface[]

// Then you can get values from Records like:
$values = $records[0]->getValues(); // FitParser\Records\ValueInterface[] 

🧙🏻‍♂️ Generated Messages and Fields classes

To generate the necessary Messages and Fields classes for decoding binary strings from FIT files, you need to use the make fitparser-gen-profile command.
This command requires the Profile.xlsx file, which is provided in the Garmin SDK.
First, download the Garmin SDK from Garmin's Developer Website. Once downloaded, locate the Profile.xlsx file within the SDK and place it in the data folder of this project.
After positioning the file correctly, you can run the make fitparser-gen-profile command, which will process the file and generate the classes needed for parsing and decoding FIT file data.
