README
A simple, lightweight console implementation for command-line PHP applications.
Why are we here ?
This library was conceived as an alternative to the symfony/console component.
Truth is, the symfony component may be good for rapid-application-development or for a proof-of-concept, but on the other hand doesn't seem to be the best option for most use-cases, since only a few among the plenty of available features are necessary.
So here came the need for the yannoff/console component.
Yet the idea was not to reinvent the wheel, but merely to provide a simpler, lighter (in size & resource) and more POSIX-compliant implementation for PHP command-line applications.
Installation
Via composer:
$ composer require yannoff/console
Usage
Here is a Hello World command example:
First the application script, the script that will be invoked using php bin/app.php
#!/usr/bin/env php <?php // bin/app.php // Mute PHP deprecation warnings & notices error_reporting(E_ERROR); require __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php'; use Yannoff\Component\Console\Application; use Acme\Demo\HelloCommand; $application = new Application('acme', '0.0.0'); $application->addCommands([ new HelloCommand('hello'), ]); $application->run();
Then the command file:
<?php // src/Acme/Demo/ namespace Acme\Demo; use Yannoff\Component\Console\Command; use Yannoff\Component\Console\Definition\Argument; use Yannoff\Component\Console\Definition\Option; class HelloCommand extends Command { public function configure() { $this ->setName('hello') ->setHelp('Hello world') ->setDescription('Hello world demo application') ->addArgument( 'name', Argument::OPTIONAL, 'Optional name to greet' ) ->addOption( 'upper', 'u', Option::FLAG, 'Print the greetings in upper case' ) ; } public function execute() { $name = $this->getArgument('name'); $upper = $this->getOption('upper'); $message = 'Hello ' . (null === $name ? 'World' : $name); if ($upper) { $message = strtoupper($message); } $this->write($message); return 0; } }
People willing to migrate from symfony/console may want to have a look at the migration section of the documentation.
