SweetCLI
========

[](#sweetcli)

A framework for creating awesome CLI applications using PHP.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Add this to `composer.json`:

```
"require": {
	"adeptoas/sweet-cli": "^1.4.0"
}
```

Make sure to merge your `require`-blocks!

Examples
--------

[](#examples)

For examples have a look in `/example`. There you'll find a step-by-step tutorial on how to create a CLI application.

Concept
-------

[](#concept)

Your CLI application will consist of the main entry point and your subcommands. Each subcommand can have options and arguments and is free to do whatever it needs to do. Commands look like this:

- `cli subcommand -o -n 2 --long-opt --long-opt-string Example`
- `cli subcommand -on 2 --long-opt "Some Argument"`
- `cli -vv subcommand -on 2`
- …

How to Build an Application
---------------------------

[](#how-to-build-an-application)

2. Put this in the top of your file (*nothing* before it!):

    ```
    #!/usr/bin/env php
