ConsoleServiceProvider
======================

[](#consoleserviceprovider)

Provides a [`Symfony\Component\Console`](http://symfony.com/doc/current/components/console.html) based console for Silex 2.x.

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

[](#installation)

Add `knplabs/console-service-provider` to your `composer.json` and register the service provider:

```
composer require knplabs/console-service-provider

```

```
use Knp\Provider\ConsoleServiceProvider;

$app->register(new ConsoleServiceProvider());
```

You can now copy the `console` executable from the `bin` folder to whatever place you see fit, and tweak it to your needs.

You will need a way to fetch your silex application, the most common way is to return it from your bootstrap file:

```
use Knp\Provider\ConsoleServiceProvider;
use Silex\Application;

$app = new Application();

$app->register(new ConsoleServiceProvider());
$app->register(new SomeOtherServiceProvider());

return $app;
```

For the rest of this documentation, we will assume you do have a `bin`directory, so the `console` executable will be located at `bin/console`.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Use the console just like any `Symfony\Component\Console` based console:

```
$ bin/console my:command

```

or on Windows:

```
$ php bin/console my:command

```

Configuration parameters
------------------------

[](#configuration-parameters)

ParameterDefaultDescription`console.name` (string)Silex consoleName of your console application`console.version` (string)UNKNOWNVersion of your console application`console.project_directory` (string)(auto-detected)Your project's directory path. The default value should work, assuming the provider is installed in `vendor/knplabs/console-service-provider``console.class` (string)Knp\\Console\\ApplicationClass name of the console service`console.boot_in_constructor` (bool)falseWhether the console should boot Silex when loaded (set it to `true` if you depend on [a bug that was fixed in 2.1](CHANGELOG.md#booting-silex-from-the-console-constructor))`console.command.ids` (array)array()Console commands registered as servicesDefault commands
----------------

[](#default-commands)

The service provider will register the following commands if the corresponding Symfony components are installed:

- From `symfony/twig-bridge`, the `lint:twig` and `debug:twig` commands
- From `symfony/yaml`, the `lint:yaml` command

### Web-server-bundle support

[](#web-server-bundle-support)

The `WebServerServiceProvider` will register the commands provided by `symfony/web-server-bundle`.

```
$app = new Silex\Application();

$app->register(new Knp\Provider\ConsoleServiceProvider());
$app->register(new Knp\Provider\WebServerServiceProvider(), array(
    // Folder that contains your front controller/public files
    'web_server.document_root' => __DIR__.'/../public',
));
```

The server commands expect your front controller to be located in your document root and be called `app_dev.php`, `app.php`, `index_dev.php` or `index.php`.

For more information, please consult the [Symfony documentation](https://symfony.com/doc/current/setup/built_in_web_server.html).
