Console application for [**Silex 2.0+**](http://silex.sensiolabs.org/) micro-framework.

> This project is a part of [`silex-tools`](https://github.com/lokhman/silex-tools) library.

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

[](#installation)

You can install `silex-console` with [Composer](http://getcomposer.org):

```
composer require lokhman/silex-console

```

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

[](#documentation)

A wrapper class for [Symfony Console](https://github.com/symfony/console) application that registers console commands and service providers.

```
#!/usr/bin/env php
require __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';

use Silex\Application;
use Silex\Provider as Providers;
use Lokhman\Silex\Console\Console;
use Lokhman\Silex\Console\Command as Commands;
use Lokhman\Silex\Console\Provider as Providers;

$app = new Application();
$app->register(new Providers\DoctrineServiceProvider());

$console = new Console($app);

// add console command
$console->add(new Commands\Session\SchemaCreateCommand());

// register console service providers
$console->registerServiceProvider(new Providers\DoctrineServiceProvider());
$console->registerServiceProvider(new Providers\DoctrineMigrationsServiceProvider(), [
    'migrations.directory' => __DIR__ . '/../app/migrations',
    'migrations.namespace' => 'Project\Migrations',
]);

$console->run();

```

Console supports [`ConfigServiceProvider`](https://github.com/lokhman/silex-config) and adds `--env` (`-e` in short) option to all registered commands.

### Cron Commands

[](#cron-commands)

The library provides commands for running background tasks as cron. Configuration supports cron schedule expressions.

```
$app = new Application([
    'cron' => [
        'task1' => [
            'command' => 'app:some:command',        // internal commands (always sync!)
            'arguments' => ['--env' => $env],       // arguments as array
            'at' => '0 0 * * *',                    // cron expression
            'output' => '&',                        // "&" is to redirect output to cron stdout
        ],
        'task2' => [
            'raw' => '/path/to/task2',              // raw command line
            'at' => '@daily',                       // cron expression
            'output' => '/path/to/task2.log',       // output to file
        ],
        'task3' => [
            'raw' => '/path/to/task3',              // raw command line
            'at' => '@annually',                    // cron expression
            'output' => null,                       // disable output (default)
        ],
    ],
]);

$console = new Console($app);
$console->add(new Commands\Cron\RunCommand());
$console->run();

```
