The Symfony components are incredible powerful, but the price for this flexibility is quite a bit of bootstrapping code to set the components up. Especially when integrating Console, DependencyInjection and Config a developer has to copy and adapt a lot of code from the docs. **Pli** uses some assumptions (such as config files in Yaml format) to reduce the amount of code required to bootstrap a simple console application.

Developed by [Florian Eckerstorfer](https://florian.ec) in Vienna, Europe.

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

[](#installation)

You can install Pli using [Composer](http://getcomposer.org).

```
$ composer require cocur/pli
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Bootstrapping a console application with Pli is a three-step process.

1. **Load configuration:** Load and parse one or more Yaml config files.
2. **Build container:** Create a container and invokes the *extension* to initialize it
3. **Create application:** Creates and application and adds all command tagged with `command` to it. If a command implements `ContainerAwareInterface` the container is set on the command.

First we need our main file with the initialization of `Pli`. You also need a configuration and a extension class and Pli is very similar to Symfony in this regard. However, the Pli-version of an extension has far less features.

```
// console.php

use Cocur\Pli\Pli;

$pli = new Pli(__DIR__.'/config');
$config = $pli->loadConfiguration(new AcmeConfiguration(), ['config.yml']);
$container = $pli->buildContainer(new AcmeExtension(), $config);
$application = $pli->getApplication($container);
$application->run();
```

```
