README

Provides a console application for Silex, built on top of Symfony\Component\Console\Application.

Requirements

• PHP >= 5.4 because of short array syntax.

Installation

Add entries to composer.json:

"require": {
	"codito/silex-console-provider": "~0.1"
}

Or run composer require codito/silex-console-provider ~0.1 in your project directory.

Configuration

In your Silex bootstrap file you need to register service provider:

<?php

use Codito\Silex\Provider\ConsoleServiceProvider;

$app->register(new ConsoleServiceProvider(), array(
    'console.name'              => 'Silex CLI Application',
    'console.version'           => '1.0',
));

?>

Then in your console's script you can register pre-defined useful commands:

<?php

/* @var $console \Codito\Silex\Console\Application */
$console = $app['console'];

$console->add(new \Codito\Silex\Console\Command\ClearCacheCommand());
$console->add(new \Codito\Silex\Console\Command\RouterDebugCommand());

?>

For more information about Symfony console, which is base for this console, look here.

Usage

Let's assume you have an bin directory and the console executable inside. Calling bin/console will display list of available commands. Then you can call any of them like:

$ bin/console your:command:name

In order to use cache:clear command cache_dir must be defined in application, for example:

$app['cache_dir'] = __DIR__ . '/../var/cache';

Write commands

Your commands should extend Codito\Silex\Console\Command\AbstractCommand which is base (abstract) class with handy method getSilexApplication(), which returns the Silex application, where console service was registered.

Credits

• Silex console application service provider was inspired by knplabs/console-service-provider
• router:debug command is based on command available in Symfony FrameworkBundle and was only adapted to use with Silex.
