This package will help you create alias for you artisan commands, and more.. Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install the package via composer: ``` >_ composer require caneco/artisan-aliases ``` #### Registering the service provider [](#registering-the-service-provider) In Laravel 5.5 the service provider will automatically get registered. But if needed just add the service provider in `config/app.php` file: ``` 'providers' => [ // ... Caneco\ArtisanAliases\ArtisanAliasesServiceProvider::class, ]; ``` #### Publishing the package assets [](#publishing-the-package-assets) To publish the configuration file and `.laravel_alias`, execute the following command and pick this Service Provider: ``` >_ php artisan vendor:publish Which provider or tag's files would you like to publish?: [0 ] Publish files from all providers and tags listed below [1 ] Provider: Caneco\ArtisanAliasesExample: [… ] ... ``` Or do it in a single command: ``` >_ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Caneco\ArtisanAliases\ArtisanAliasesServiceProvider" ``` When published, this is the contents of the config file: ``` return [ /* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Artisan Alias Master Switch |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | This option may be used to enable/disable all Artisan alias | defined in your local or global `.laravel_alias` file */ 'enabled' => env('ARTISAN_ALIAS_ENABLED', true), /* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Default Alias File |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | This option allows you to have three ways of load the list of alias. The | `global` option will only load the alias defined in your home directory, | while the `local` option, will limit the alias from the list in your | application. Finally, The `both` option, or anything else, will | load the alias from both locations. | | Supported: "global", "local", "both", */ 'use_only' => 'both', ]; ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) After publishing the initial files, your alias will be stored folder locally in the application directory; or globally in your home directory. And like any other bash alias file the contents will have following format: ``` laravel="inspire" # cc="clear-compiled" ``` #### Listing existing alias [](#listing-existing-alias) To list the current alias available you can run the following command: ``` >_ php artisan alias --list Laravel `Artisan Aliases` 1.1.0 Usage: alias [-g|--global] [--] [] Available alias: laravel inspire cc clear-compiled ``` Also, the available alias in appear on your artisan command list: ``` $ php artisan list ... Available commands: alias Create an alias of another command cc * Alias for the `clear-compiled` command clear-compiled Remove the compiled class file down Put the application into maintenance mode ... inspire Display an inspiring quote laravel * Alias for the `inspire` command list Lists commands ... ``` #### Adding new alias [](#adding-new-alias) Add your alias directly in the file `.laravel_alias`, or just use the artisan command: ``` >_ php artisan alias laravel "inspire" ``` And, if you pass the `--global` option the alias will be registered instead in the `.laravel_alias` of your home directory. ``` >_ php artisan alias cc="clear-compiled" --global ``` If you dont pass the required arguments the `--list` option will be triggered, and you will be presented with the command info; usage; and list of alias available. #### Comments [](#comments) Anything after the character `#` it's considered a comment and will be not considered for execution. ``` # https://twitter.com/davidhemphill/status/1083466919964041217 migrate:make="make:migration" # DOPE ``` #### Quote surrounding [](#quote-surrounding) Surrounding the command with quotes are not mandatory, but if the command to be aliased has some spaces you must use them. #### Multiple commands [](#multiple-commands) An alias can have multiple commands associated by using the operators `&&` or `||`. And, just like bash, when using `&&` the sequence of the commands will terminate if one of them returns a value bigger than zero. While the `||` will continue no matter what. ``` # EXAMPLE tables-up=notifications:table && queue:table && queue:failed-table && ... ``` #### Shell commands [](#shell-commands) If you prefix your alias with an exclamation point, will be treated as a shell command. #### Alias*ception…* [](#aliasception) Yes, you can also create alias of alias... #### Artisan groups [](#artisan-groups) If you set your alias with a namespace like `boot:tables` or `boot:cache`, Artisan list will group your alias toghether. ``` # EXAMPLE boot boot:cache * Alias for the `config:cache || route:cache || view:cache command` boot:tables * Alias for the `cache:table || notifications:table || queue:failed-table || queue:table || session:table command` ``` Gotchas ⚠️ ---------- [](#gotchas-️) - Currently, to modify or delete any alias you need to open the `.laravel_aliases` and do it manually but it's planned to have a way of doing from the terminal. - Adding an alias with the same name as other it will result with an exception. - Having two alias manually defined in the `.laravel_aliases` the last alias command will prevail. - An alias with the same name as an Artisan command, the Artisan prevail. Supported versions ------------------ [](#supported-versions) Look at the table below to find out what versions of Laravel are supported on what version of this package: Laravel FrameworkArtisan Alias`5.7.*``^1.0`Road map -------- [](#road-map) Artisan Alias is stable but there is still some things that I would like to add in the package. Here's the plan for what's coming: - Remove an existing alias using the option `--d|delete` - Firing a `@handle` method if alias has a `::class` reference - Alert the user try to add an alias with `sudo` in the command **(usefull?)** - Add comments - Allow to replace an existing alias using the option `--force` - Add tests Contributing ------------ [](#contributing) All contributions (pull requests, issues and feature requests) are welcome.
