```

**Impress** is a developer command line tool for generating Domain Driven Design (DDD) classes, such as *actions*, *controllers*, and *exceptions* under a specific *domain*.

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

[](#installation)

The CLI installs globally via [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) and can be called from any directory containing a `src` sub-directory.

```
composer global require kjohnson/impress-cli
```

Note: `.composer/vendor/bin` must be included in PATH for the command to be called globally, which varies across operating systems.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Once installed, the CLI can be called from any directory containing a `src` sub-directory.

```
  USAGE:   [options] [arguments]

  make:action     Create a new Action class
  make:controller Create a new Controller class
  make:domain     Create a new Domain directory
  make:exception  Create a new Exception class
```

Example usage:

```
impress make:domain User
// Creates the `User` domain/directory within `src/`

impress make:action User UpdateUserPassword
// Creates the `UpdateUserPassword` action within the `User` domain
// See src/User/Actions/UpdateUserPassword.php
```

Each command will generate the appropriate directories and files within the corresponding *Domain*.
