WriteToConsole trait
====================

[](#writetoconsole-trait)

This is a simple trait to allow a third party class to output to an artisan console.

Useful when implementing heavy procedural scripts which code is shared with other part of the application, or just written in its own class for easier testability.

It simply redirects the `info()` , `error()` , `comment()`, `table()` and `progressBar()` methods to the command object set by calling the public `setConsole()` method of the trait, or just pass-through if no command object is set.

Example
-------

[](#example)

Using the trait in a custom script :

```
namespace App\Tools;

use Code16\WriteToConsole\WriteToConsole;

class DataImporter
{
	use WriteToConsole;

	public function execute()
	{
		$this->info("Import started");

		$progress = $this->progressBar(100);

		for($x=0;$xadvance();
		}

		$this->info("Import finished");
	}

}
```

Calling the script from an artisan console command :

```
