REPL for SilverStripe running on Psy Shell 🚀
--------------------------------------------

[](#repl-for-silverstripe-running-on-psy-shell-)

[![status](https://github.com/pstaender/ssshell/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/pstaender/ssshell/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)

### Install

[](#install)

Install in your current project with:

```
  $ composer require --dev pstaender/ssshell
```

### Usage

[](#usage)

To use ssshell just type `./vendor/bin/ssshell` (or `ssshell` if its installed globally) in your project folder and you can start using the shell:

```
  Psy Shell v0.12.9 (PHP 8.4.8 — cli) by Justin Hileman
  Loading dev environment (SilverStripe CMS: 6.0.0)
  >
```

### Command Line Options

[](#command-line-options)

You can use most of psyshs' cli arguments. Type `psysh -h` for help.

### Requirements

[](#requirements)

ssshell runs on SilverStripe v6.

For SilverStripe v4 and v5 you can use the `ss4` / `ss5`-branches or use the corresponding versions.

### Features

[](#features)

#### Namespaces and views of objects and lists

[](#namespaces-and-views-of-objects-and-lists)

`ssshell` comes with a set of [frequent used namespaces](https://github.com/pstaender/ssshell/blob/master/src/SSShell/NamespacesCommand.php#L17) for convenient REPL handling.

By default all DataObjects, DataLists, ArrayLists and Query objects will be displayed in a human-readable fashion.

As example, creating a SilverStripe User would be:

```
  > Member::create(['Email' => 'editor', 'Password' => 'password'])->write()
  => 1
  > Member::get()->first()
  => SilverStripe\Security\Member {#3229
      +ClassName: "SilverStripe\Security\Member",
      +LastEdited: "2019-07-01 11:34:54",
      +Created: "2019-07-01 11:34:54",
      +Email: "editor",
      +Password: "$2y$10$9b5f51921992948f40cf7uHeqjQLuG9Bnqf4sq54TBnsB80CmwJhC",
      +PasswordEncryption: "blowfish",
      +Salt: "10$9b5f51921992948f40cf75",
      +Locale: "en_US",
      +FailedLoginCount: 0,
      +ID: 1,
      +RecordClassName: "SilverStripe\Security\Member",
      +LoggedPasswords: [
        [
          "ClassName" => "SilverStripe\Security\MemberPassword",
          "LastEdited" => "2019-07-01 11:34:54",
          "Created" => "2019-07-01 11:34:54",
          "Password" => "$2y$10$9b5f51921992948f40cf7uHeqjQLuG9Bnqf4sq54TBnsB80CmwJhC",
          "Salt" => "10$9b5f51921992948f40cf75",
          "PasswordEncryption" => "blowfish",
          "MemberID" => 1,
          "ID" => 1,
          "RecordClassName" => "SilverStripe\Security\MemberPassword",
        ],
      ],
      +RememberLoginHashes: [],
      +LinkTracking: [],
      +FileTracking: [],
      +Groups: [],
    }
```
