Foundation CLI tooling for generating application code and maintaining the Foundation monorepo.

Installation

Install this package as a development dependency in consuming projects:

composer require --dev stellarwp/foundation-cli

foundation-cli is build-time tooling. It should not be registered in a WordPress plugin application and should not be packaged in production plugin zips. Use Composer's --no-dev install mode for production builds so the CLI, Symfony Console, generators, and local tooling stay out of the runtime artifact.

If a generated WP-CLI command ships with the plugin, install stellarwp/foundation-wpcli as a normal runtime dependency:

composer require stellarwp/foundation-wpcli

Generators

List all available commands:

vendor/bin/foundation list

Foundation CLI includes generators for packages that own generated class shapes. For example, the WPCli package provides a generator for command classes:

vendor/bin/foundation make:wpcli-command Sync_Products_Command

Do not add StellarWP\Foundation\Cli\CliProvider to the consuming WordPress plugin's provider list. That provider only boots the Foundation Symfony Console application for the foundation binary. Register generated WP-CLI commands from the plugin's own WP-CLI provider using stellarwp/foundation-wpcli.

See the WPCli package README for WP-CLI generator behavior, options, and stub overrides.

Foundation Monorepo Maintenance

The package:create command is for maintainers working inside the Foundation monorepo. It creates local split-package scaffolding and can create GitHub repositories for Foundation split packages.

Create a split repository for a new Foundation package:

vendor/bin/foundation package:create Log

If the package does not exist yet, the command asks whether to create the local scaffold in src/<Package> and asks for the Composer package name. For example, WPCli defaults to stellarwp/foundation-wpcli. After scaffolding, it runs composer monorepo merge so the root package metadata includes the new split package.

By default, commands that change external systems run as a dry run. Pass --apply to execute the generated repository actions.

In the Foundation monorepo, the root Composer script can also be used:

composer run foundation -- package:create Log

Custom Commands

Applications can build their own Foundation CLI by creating Symfony Console commands and registering them with StellarWP\Foundation\Cli\Application.

<?php declare(strict_types=1);

namespace Acme\App\Cli;

use Symfony\Component\Console\Command\Command;
use Symfony\Component\Console\Input\InputInterface;
use Symfony\Component\Console\Output\OutputInterface;

final class CacheClearCommand extends Command
{
	public function __construct() {
		parent::__construct('cache:clear');
	}

	protected function execute(InputInterface $input, OutputInterface $output): int {
		$output->writeln('Cache cleared.');

		return Command::SUCCESS;
	}
}

For one or more related commands, group them behind a command provider.

<?php declare(strict_types=1);

namespace Acme\App\Cli;

use StellarWP\Foundation\Cli\Contracts\CommandProvider;

final class AppCommandProvider implements CommandProvider
{
	public function commands(): iterable {
		yield new CacheClearCommand();
	}
}

Then boot an application with your provider.

<?php declare(strict_types=1);

use Acme\App\Cli\AppCommandProvider;
use StellarWP\Foundation\Cli\Application;

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

$application = new Application(commandProviders: [
	new AppCommandProvider(),
]);

exit($application->run());

When commands need shared services, register them in your container and pass constructed commands or command providers into the Application.
