\#Command line micro-framework in php

why another cli tool ?
----------------------

[](#why-another-cli-tool-)

Because i did not find anything simple enough to use. This is, in my opinion, quiet simple and will handle most of the nee i can think of concerning cli.

Create your command line
------------------------

[](#create-your-command-line)

### extend reactor command class

[](#extend-reactor-command-class)

```
class Mycommand extends \D2G\Reactor\Command
```

### define your methods and required argument/options

[](#define-your-methods-and-required-argumentoptions)

```
function __construct($args, $opts, $flags)
{
    parent::construct($args, $opts, $flags);
    $this->commands = array(

        // the name of your method
        'my_method'=>array(
