A trait for buffering Artisan Command Output in Laravel. Inspired by PHP's `ob_start()` / `ob_flush()`.

**Use cases:**

- **Conditional output** — accumulate output during command execution, then decide to show it (flush) or discard it (clean) based on the result
- **Deferred output** — collect output and display it all at once at the right moment

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require skulich/laravel-command-output-buffer
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Add the `OutputBuffer` trait to your Artisan command:

```
use Illuminate\Console\Command;
use SKulich\LaravelCommandOutputBuffer\Console\Concerns\OutputBuffer;

class ProcessDataCommand extends Command
{
    use OutputBuffer;

    protected $signature = 'app:process-data';

    public function handle(): int
    {
        $this->obStart();

        $this->line('Processing item 1...');
        $this->line('Processing item 2...');
        $this->v('Verbose detail');

        if ($this->hasErrors()) {
            $this->obFlush();  // show accumulated output — something went wrong

            return self::FAILURE;
        }

        $this->obClean();  // discard output — all ok

        return self::SUCCESS;
    }
}
```

### Deferred output

[](#deferred-output)

Pass a variable to `obStart()` to auto-flush when it goes out of scope:

```
public function handle(): int
{
    $this->obStart($defer);

    $this->info('Step 1 done');
    $this->info('Step 2 done');

    return self::SUCCESS;
    // buffer is automatically flushed here when $defer is destroyed
}
```

API
---

[](#api)

All `ob*` methods are `protected` — they are meant to be called from within the command itself.

MethodDescription`obStart()`Start buffering output`obStart(&$defer)`Start buffering with auto-flush on scope exit`obPause()`Pause buffering — output goes directly to console`obStop()`Stop buffering and clear the buffer`obClean()`Clear the buffer without stopping`obFlush()`Output all buffered lines to the console`v($string, $style)`Buffer a line only when `-v` (verbose)`vv($string, $style)`Buffer a line only when `-vv` (very verbose)`vvv($string, $style)`Buffer a line only when `-vvv` (debug)The `line()` method is automatically intercepted — when buffering is active, output goes to the buffer instead of the console.
