WordPress Command
=================

[](#wordpress-command)

An easy way to define custom commands in WordPress powered by Symfony Console instead of WP-CLI.

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

[](#installation)

Use composer to install the package:

```
composer require highliuk/wordpress-command
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

First, create your custom command by extending the `Command` class:

```
use Highliuk\WordPressCommand\Command;

/**
 * Greets the blog with its name.
 */
class HelloBlog extends Command
{
    protected function handle(): void
    {
        $name = get_bloginfo('name');

        $this->line("Hello, $name!");
    }
}
```

Then, register your command in your WordPress code:

```
use Highliuk\WordPressCommand\Application;

$app = Application::getInstance();
$app->add(new HelloBlog());
```

Now you can run your custom command:

```
vendor/bin/console hello:blog
# Hello, My Blog!
```

You have access to all of the Symfony Console features, such as options and arguments. See the [Symfony Console documentation](https://symfony.com/doc/current/components/console.html) for more information.

Features
--------

[](#features)

### Auto Inference for Name and Description

[](#auto-inference-for-name-and-description)

By default, the command name is inferred from the class name. For instance, the `HelloBlog` command will be available as `hello:blog`. Similarly, the command description is inferred from the class docblock. If you want to customize the command name and description, you can use the `setName` and `setDescription` methods in the `configure` method (see [Customization](#customization)), or you can use the shorthand properties:

```
use Highliuk\WordPressCommand\Command;

class HelloBlog extends Command
{
    protected $name = 'greet:blog';
    protected $description = 'Greets the blog with its name.';

    protected function handle(): void
    {
        $name = get_bloginfo('name');

        $this->line("Hello, $name!");
    }
}
```

### Customization

[](#customization)

You can customize the command by overriding the `configure` method (as for Symfony Console commands):

```
use Highliuk\WordPressCommand\Command;

class HelloBlog extends Command
{
    protected function configure(): void
    {
        $this->setName('greet:blog');
    }

    protected function handle(): void
    {
        $name = get_bloginfo('name');

        $this->line("Hello, $name!");
    }
}
```

### Argument and Option Bindings

[](#argument-and-option-bindings)

You can access arguments and options from your handle method:

```
use Highliuk\WordPressCommand\Command;
use Symfony\Component\Console\Input\InputArgument;

class GreetUser extends Command
{
    protected function configure(): void
    {
        $this
            ->addArgument('user', InputArgument::REQUIRED, 'The user to greet')
            ->addOption('uppercase', 'u', 'Whether to uppercase the user name');
    }

    protected function handle(string $user, bool $uppercase): void
    {
        if ($uppercase) {
            $user = strtoupper($user);
        }

        $this->line("Hello, $user!");
    }
}
```

```
vendor/bin/console greet:user john -u
# Hello, JOHN!
```
