README

Run async commands within any interactive shell command, built on top of ReactPHP.

Note: This project is in beta stage! Feel free to report any issues you encounter.

Quickstart example

Once installed, you can use the following code to run an interactive bash shell and issue some commands within:

<?php

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

$launcher = new Clue\React\Shell\ProcessLauncher();

$shell = $launcher->createDeferredShell('bash');

$shell->execute('echo -n $USER')->then(function ($result) {
    var_dump('current user', $result);
}, function (Exception $e) {
    echo 'Error: ' . $e->getMessage() . PHP_EOL;
});

$shell->execute('env | sort | head -n10')->then(function ($env) {
    var_dump('env', $env);
}, function (Exception $e) {
    echo 'Error: ' . $e->getMessage() . PHP_EOL;
});

$shell->end();
