Elayne CLI
==========

[](#elayne-cli)

> **Deprecated** — This package is no longer maintained. All functionality has been absorbed into [`imagewize/pt-cli`](https://github.com/imagewize/pt-cli) v2.0.0.
>
> ```
> composer global remove imagewize/elayne-cli
> composer global require imagewize/pt-cli
> ```
>
>
>
> Commands are identical — `pattern:create`, `layout:create`, `style:create`, `pattern:list` — now alongside `pt-cli check`.

CLI scaffolding tool for [Elayne](https://github.com/imagewize/elayne), a WordPress block theme. Generates WordPress block pattern PHP files, layout patterns, and theme style variation JSON files interactively from pre-built templates.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP >= 8.0
- Composer

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require imagewize/elayne-cli
```

Or clone and install locally:

```
git clone https://github.com/imagewize/elayne-cli.git
cd elayne-cli
composer install
```

Shorter commands (optional)
---------------------------

[](#shorter-commands-optional)

Add these scripts to your theme's `composer.json` to avoid typing `vendor/bin/elayne` every time:

```
"scripts": {
    "pattern:list":   "@php ./vendor/bin/elayne pattern:list",
    "pattern:create": "@php ./vendor/bin/elayne pattern:create",
    "layout:create":  "@php ./vendor/bin/elayne layout:create",
    "style:create":   "@php ./vendor/bin/elayne style:create"
}
```

Then run `composer pattern:list`, `composer pattern:create`, `composer layout:create`, or `composer style:create`.

To use the bare `elayne` command from any project directory, add `./vendor/bin` to your shell PATH:

```
# ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc
export PATH="./vendor/bin:$PATH"
```

After reloading your shell (`source ~/.zshrc`) you can run `elayne pattern:list`, `elayne pattern:create`, `elayne layout:create`, and `elayne style:create` directly.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### List available templates, snippets, layouts, categories, and style presets

[](#list-available-templates-snippets-layouts-categories-and-style-presets)

```
vendor/bin/elayne pattern:list
```

### Scaffold a new pattern (interactive)

[](#scaffold-a-new-pattern-interactive)

```
vendor/bin/elayne pattern:create
```

You will be prompted for pattern title, slug, category, template, keywords, and output directory. Use `--with-style` to also generate a companion CSS file, and `--shell-only` for an editor-first workflow (PHP header + paste marker only).

### Scaffold a new layout pattern (interactive)

[](#scaffold-a-new-layout-pattern-interactive)

```
vendor/bin/elayne layout:create
```

You will be prompted for pattern title, slug, layout type, category, keywords, and output directory. Use `--shell-only` for an editor-first workflow.

Example non-interactive usage:

```
vendor/bin/elayne layout:create \
  --title="Home Hero" \
  --slug="elayne/home-hero" \
  --layout=hero-image-right \
  --category=elayne/hero \
  --keywords="hero, home" \
  --output-dir=./patterns
```

### Scaffold a new style variation (interactive)

[](#scaffold-a-new-style-variation-interactive)

```
vendor/bin/elayne style:create
```

You will be prompted for style name, vertical preset (or custom colors), and output directory.

Example non-interactive usage:

```
vendor/bin/elayne style:create --name="Ocean Legal" --vertical=legal
```

### Non-interactive pattern creation

[](#non-interactive-pattern-creation)

```
vendor/bin/elayne pattern:create \
  --title="My Pattern" \
  --slug="elayne/my-pattern" \
  --template=hero-cover \
  --category=elayne/hero \
  --keywords="hero, banner" \
  --output-dir=./patterns \
  --with-style \
  --style-dir=./assets/styles/block-styles
```

With `--shell-only` (editor-first workflow):

```
vendor/bin/elayne pattern:create \
  --title="My Pattern" \
  --slug="elayne/my-pattern" \
  --template=hero-cover \
  --category=elayne/hero \
  --shell-only
```

The `--slug` option accepts the full `elayne/` form or just the bare slug — the `elayne/` prefix is stripped automatically.

Documentation
-------------

[](#documentation)

Detailed reference material is available in the [docs/](docs/) directory:

- [📄 Templates](docs/templates.md) — Available pattern templates and descriptions
- [📄 Layouts](docs/layouts.md) — Structural layout patterns for the `layout:create` command
- [📄 Snippets](docs/snippets.md) — Reusable block markup fragments
- [📄 Categories](docs/categories.md) — Available pattern categories
- [📄 CSS Stubs](docs/css-stubs.md) — CSS file generation and custom stubs
- [📄 Style Presets](docs/style-presets.md) — Theme style variation color palettes

Generated pattern file
----------------------

[](#generated-pattern-file)

The command writes a `.php` file to the output directory. Example output for a blank pattern:

```

```

After generation, add your block markup inside the file and flush the WordPress pattern cache.
