Description
-----------

[](#description)

CLI components allow to create command that are routable on CLI only.

The main main focus of this component is put on:

- implements maintenance scripts within the application
- reuse most of what is done for the main application in a CLI context

The CLI package provides Objective PHP applications with several components:

- CliRequest
    - this one will be used by the RequestWrapper from `objective-php/application` to expose CLI arguments to the routed action
- CliRouter
    - this component works together with the `MetaRouter` class from the `objective-php/router` package
    - it is needed to register then route the command line actions
    - the `CliRouter` is also responsible for triggering actions's parameter hydration
- CliParameterContainer
    - this is where the CLI parameters are stored
- AbstractCliAction
    - base class to extend for writing CLI actions

What's next
-----------

[](#whats-next)

Next release with provide the developer with some more base action classes, especially targeted at creating workers.

------------

```

This is the way you should get the code only if you intend to work on it.

### Composer

[](#composer)

Most typical use case is to require `objective-php/cli` from an existing Objective PHP application:

```
composer require objective-php/cli

```

How to test the work in progress?
