SilexCLI
========

[](#silexcli)

Services
--------

[](#services)

### console

[](#console)

An instance of SilexCLI\\Console (which extends Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Application).

### console.input

[](#consoleinput)

An instance of Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Input\\ArgvInput, accessible to command callbacks.

### console.output

[](#consoleoutput)

An instance of Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Output\\ConsoleOutput, accessible to command callbacks.

Registering
-----------

[](#registering)

```
	use SilexCLI\Provider\ConsoleServiceProvider;

	$app->register(new ConsoleServiceProvider());
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Commands can be registered with the console's route method. The route pattern is used to identify arguments, and dependency injection is used to identify argument defaults and options.

If a callback parameter is present in the route pattern, it is defined as an argument. Parameters not present in the route pattern are

### Command Arguments

[](#command-arguments)

If a callback parameter is present in the route pattern, it is defined as an argument. If it has a default value, then it will not be required by the console.

```
	$app['console']->match('example {arg1}', function($arg1) use ($app) {
		...
	});
```

### Command Options

[](#command-options)

Callback parameters not present in the route pattern will be added to the command definition as options. All options must have a default value.

```
	$app['console']->match('example', function($opt1 = 'default') use ($app) {
		...
	});
```

If the option default is a boolean value, it will be treated as a flag.

```
	$app['console']->match('example', function($flag1 = false) use ($app) {
		...
	});
```

### Array Inputs

[](#array-inputs)

Arguments and options can accept array values as well (though only the last argument may be an array).

```
	$app['console']->match('example {array-arg}', function(array $array_arg, array $array_opt = array()) use ($app) {
		...
	});
```

Traits
------

[](#traits)

SilexCLI\\Application\\ConsoleTrait adds the following shortcuts:

### command

[](#command)

Adds a new command to the console and returns it.

```
	$app->command($pattern, $callback);
```
